The "Fox Blocker" - a solution in search of a problem
The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Device lets you out-Fox your TV:
"It's not that Sam Kimery objects to the views expressed on Fox News Channel. The creator of the 'Fox Blocker' contends the network is not news at all."
As tempests in teapots go, this one is only a small squall. A disgruntled former Republican has created a device to plug into your TV that will prevent the set from displaying the Fox News Channel. Of course, you can save $8.95 (as all but 100 people in the whole world have) by simply not choosing to watch that channel. And even the inventor admits he doesn't use it and tunes in for "especially heinous" stuff.
It is amazing to me that this fellow can't see that the news on FNC is mostly the same leftist twaddle as on the other cable news networks. A few of the commentary shows lean right or make a show of exploring both conservative and liberal perspectives through their choice of guests. But even Fox's highest rated host, Bill O'Reilly, is a Humphrey-Jackson liberal caught in a time warp. I had thought before I started this blog that it might be fun to run a blog exposing liberalism on FNC. But I decided it would be better for my blood pressure to just cut down on the TV news.
