1/2 hour news hour
Fox has just launched what it considers a comedy, "The 1/2 Hour New Hour."
It's their reaction to the success of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. It was even initially titled, ""The Daily Show for conservatives."
I think it's the worst garbage I've ever seen. I'm a liberal but objectively speaking (or at least trying to), the hosts can't act and sound like 10 year olds reading aloud from their textbooks. And the jokes are- well, it would be too much of a compliment to call this stuff "jokes."
God, I hate Fox. And now they're gone from irrational, self-righteous, right wing blundering fools to just plain pathetic. And as someone pointed out, it's ironic that Fox purports itself as a news channel but now adds this, while the Daily Show and the Colbert report never claimed to have any seriousness as news shows and in fact run on Comedy Central.
I thought it was racist and besides that, they're so lame that they needed a laugh track. But I should've known- anything with Anne Coulter in it is bound to be bad.
I hope this show is off the air very soon.
You can check it out here:

is anyone else really irritated by this?
the only good thing, as someone commented on a blog, is seeing how Jon Stewart will tear this apart

Total crap. I could do better with my iSight camera and a green sheet.
