Totally possibly to have different political views and still see what a crock Fox News is. And I do reserve the right to mock that. That's not about being Republican, Dem, or other, it's about being in the reality-based world.

Also possible that someone of a different political view might even be a member of the boards.

*raises hand* not that i watch Fox News, but i am one of those craxy Red Pelicans.

Also possible that someone of a different political view might even be a member of the boards.

Or even a creator of the show.

But Fox News is still a joke.

So, if it's not about politics, the implication is that people who watch Fox News are all stupid. I don't think we really need to be doing that here, either.

Yeah, this is more where I was going.

Hey folkses, long time no see. In my new-ish capacity as "Kristin Veitch, Junior Varsity Edition" I'm working on a Drive set visit over the next coupla weeks. (Thanks in no small part to the good offices of Mr. Minear.) If you folks have questions for actors and such-like, post them here or email me at jgodwin@eentertainment.com. You guys rock. And congratulations Kristen. That's amerzing!

And I do reserve the right to mock that.

I kinda thought that was what the board was about. Seriously, I would really hate to see any show or network get any kind of protected status. Personally, I think that would be more likely to drive people away than any mocking.

Let us stifle simple throwaway joke lines buy calling more attention to them then they needed, and pretend they are a slam on a political belief.

Hi, Colin. I don't care enough about the particular issue on mocking/not mocking Fox news, but I just want to mention that we generally don't address each other the way you addressed Liese.

We do disagree all the time, and will spend hours, days and untold bandwidth doing so, but we're a pretty civil group of people. I know you're not brand new, but I haven't seen you post a whole lot here, so I'm saying this in a friendly way to you. I hope that comes across. Maybe the rancor I read in your post wasn't intentional, and you were just aiming for good-natured snark. I wasn't going to mention anything, but it sort of startled me to see someone posting to Liese like that.

And to be fair to you, occasionally, you will see two people talking to each other like that here, but that's generally only when they're really familiar with one another and friendly in real life.

Okay. I'm done. Going to hide, now.

And still -- I'm pretty sure what Leise was reacting to (and what I know for sure I reacted to) was the implication that people who watch Fox News can't tell the difference between "news" and commercials.

Also?

jengod!!!

Hey guys. It's funny, I'm looking at the user IDs on the posters these days, and it's all either OG folks or newer people--but there's a vast middle ground of people who just registered at some sort of tipping point but didn't become regulars. Not that I'm coming to any kind of point, but I thought it was interesting. And great to see so many familiar faces!
