FOX’s 1/2 Hour News Hour Short on Laughs
Some Ph.D. candidate at Fox News Channel has apparently decided that it’s time to come up with the answer to The Daily Show. This might be a good idea…if anyone at Fox News Channel actually had anything resembling a functional sense of humor. Sadly, and not unpredictably, the Right-wing drones who put this together are just…not…funny. Though they undoubtedly think that the have it all over Jon Stewart, the reality is that joyless, self-righteous ideologues generally come equipped with a pronounced lack of a sense of humor. That’s right; simple ridicule is not funny in and of itself, though I imagine that right about now the writers at “The 1/2 Hour News Hour” are wondering why no one’s laughing. Hmm…maybe it’s because mean-spirited, self-righteous Conservatism just…isn’t…funny?? I know; whodathunkit??
Memo to Fox News Channel: d’ya remember when Dennis Miller actually used to be funny? I do. It was before he decided to give free reign to his narrow ideology and begin channelling Ann Coulter and Michael Savage. Yuk yuk yuk. Or not.
