Hey, Gang, Let's Play "What I Learned at FOX News Last Week"

FOX News spends a great deal of its time aiding and abetting the dumbing down of America through the FOX News Channel and its companion website, FOXNews.com. After spending some less-than-quality-time slogging through the sludge in both outlets, I've come up with a new parlor game. It's called "What I Learned at Fox News Last Week." For starters, did you know that a school bus driver cursed out some kids? I kid you not. As soon as FOX News reported this heart-stopping news, anchor Shepard Smith followed with repeated stories about yet another school shooting, this one in Cleveland. Then, we were treated to various important "FOX News Alerts," covering earthshaking stories, such as, "Austrian Man Shoots Colleague, Slices off Penis in 'Honor Killing.'" (Ouch!)
And here for your edification are just some of the headlines that showed up as the MOST READ stories on FOXNews.com:
"Australian Doctors Use Vodka Drip to Save Poisoned Tourist's Life. Tourist drives away from hospital and is given a DUI." (Sorry, I just had to throw that in. The guy is still recovering. Hospital staff call him "Mr. Happy").
"Former Penthouse Pet Dubbed 'Mansion Madam' Pleads Guilty to Prostitution." (This one didn't have video. C'mon FOX News. Where's the video? Has it been a slow week for Britney Spears sightings? There must be someone with a video of the former Penthouse Pet earning a living.)
And finally: "Cops Pull Over Boy, 3, Driving Along Highway in Toy Mustang GT." (Beep, beep!)
(Continued here.)
