Fox Reports On Kos Flaming

MyDD :: Fox News Reports on Sub-Par Dailykos Flame War: ". . . .This is hysterical--in every sense of the word. Fox News is seriously dedicating time to a Dailykos flame war? Could they grow any more obsessed with the progressive netroots? I've been around since the very beginning, and I have seen all of the flame wars. As far as flame wars go, this ranks somewhere between the fight over no extended entries on front-page posts, and the fight over the Brown--Hackett Senate primary in Ohio. If you think this is a flame war, then your obsession with the progressive netroots is clearly new and you have really come late to the party. If our flame wars are news, why not rank them? Basically, I mean, if you really want to talk about flame wars, then why didn't touch the whole early 2003 Nader thing (#4 all time) the great 2005 pie-fight (#3 all time), the post-election kurfuffle over election fraud (#2 all time), or even the dreaded all-time flame war: SYFPH (Best. Flame. War. Ever.). But somehow the first major post-Yearly Kos flame war is news to Faux News. . ."

But then that does burn air time which they would otherwise have to use, you know, maybe like reporting, say, the news, like, say, the Middle East erupting in flames, corruption in Katrina contracting, nonsensical Senate votes on flags, gays, water buffalos and elves, blondes disappearing on tropical islands. . .
