Fox, Jumping
As I wrote, Karl Rove says "jump" and Fox "news" asks for directions to the outhouse, takes off its shoes, and jumps in with both feet. (The link is to a video which wouldn't embed. Watch it.)
Message to their viewers: they think you're stupid. Even their so-called actual half-intelligent "newsguy" defends the low-stooping. What will it take to notice, and prove them wrong? More than this, obviously. And more than this. And this. This. Or this.
I could go on, half past forever. Would it matter to their viewers? Hell no. Why? Because that's why the watch it. They're getting exactly what they came for.
