Pseudo-analytical article on writers

Language warning for the article (if you couldn't tell from the link). But if you can handle that kind of language, it's hilarious.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
HA! That was great! I'd say it summed it all up really nice.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Okay, I laughed all the way through :D
I sent it to a writer friend, and she asked whether it's funny or sad that all of this is true...^^
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Funny.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Pretty good, except for the part about Fox News.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
I probably shouldn't point you to the clip where the Muppets respond to Fox's criticism of the Muppet Movie, then.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Mildly amusing, if overdone. But dead-on about Faux News.

Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Worth a grin. ;-)
On the serious side, there's a brief run-down at http://www.turnoffyourtv.com/networks/foxnews/foxnews.html that covers the basics...but trying to issue endless corrections to Fox misinformation would be a full-time job, and a soul-rotting one, at that. Just...ew.

As a mentally ill person with a bipolar father, I want to smack them now. Calling someone mentally ill is not okay to use as an insult, ever. Either you're a layperson diagnosing someone, in which case STFU because you don't know what you're talking about; you're a licensed psychologist/psychiatrist diagnosing someone you don't know, in which case STFU because you haven't had a chance to formally evaluate them; or you're publicly diagnosing your own patient, in which case you can lose your license and I hope you do.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Well, and it's so grade-school-playground, to boot. It's hard to credit anybody associated with Fox with either intelligence or education when they resort to name-calling bullying.
I'd suggest a tall chaser of Rachel Maddow to get the taste out of your mouth. ;-/
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Actually, my suggestion is stick to local news channels.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Is it just me, or is it a little weird that this thread has become all about Fox News? Someone should start a thread where people can debate about it or whatever. Not me, though. I'm not touching that one.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Yup, definitely weird. I'm not starting the thread either. I don't watch Fox News, I just enjoy seeing jokes about it. :)
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are the best for those.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
'S'truth. The genuinely funny thing is that the best political coverage last election was on the Daily Show. How wacky is that?
It's a weird world we're living in.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
I'd believe it. I've heard that The Daily Show is supposed to be liberal, but let's face it, if they can get a joke in, they don't care what side it is. This, ladies and gentlemen, is generally referred to as chaotic neutral.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
I apparently like chaotic neutral.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Nah, I think you're like me and just like politics and extremists being made fun of.
Re: Pseudo-analytical article on writers
Good for a laugh, but I have to say that my favorite part was that he incorporated Brian Regan. Nobody where I live even knows who Brian Regan IS! I can't believe it.
