I've avoided your article because I wanted to see if anyone would point out how Fox is the tip of the iceberg. When I visit family in Da Hinterlands and Mom and Dad have the TV on perpetually (they're 91, so it's something to fill the void), it's not all just Fox. You can't appreciate the whole of the Fox part out of context with the Farm report, the Country Music channel, the Opry Channel and God's gift to Valerie Bertinelli: Lifetime's Fanatical non swearing Fantasy Fest.
It's like Michael Landon is telling everyone in Red States to be ready to take scalps or die trying because Da Wimmin' are all gonna move back East and get abortions if you don't!
Meanwhile, the point is not the stories or the vehement spittle, but the endless stream of Winchester, Artic Cat, Medicare Plus and expensive diabetes remedies for riding around in a Manly Brokeback QueerQuad vehicle to "harvest' game even if you're too blind, drunk, stupid or inept to actually find a deer on the $20,000 bait pile you've been nurturing with Cabela's Fertilizer.
