I am EXTREMELY pissed off. If you are pissed off too, you can sign the petition to get Greg Gutfeld fired.

You shouldn’t be watching Fox anyway. It’s pure garbage.

I mean, really. Ignore that whole company.

Faux News is a company that’s big among American rednecks and ultraconservative mouthbreathers and owned by some billionaire from the UK. As long as the rest of us know all the good things about Canada, who cares what those losers at Faux think?

what the heck is ‘red eye’ and why are they using twitter?

@asmonet , you are correct. Their newspapers are no better than their Fixed news channel.

Ugh.
We are a peaceful country. Let us be.
He described Canada as “ridiculous” and mocked our lack of desire to fight.
I’m glad no one watches this show. Do you see the rating on the video? I think the number of people who agree with these people is pretty low.

@evelyns_pet_zebra- Actually, it’s owned by an Aussie.

But you’re right about everything else.

Can you believe Fox still calls it “News”?

I don’t give one shit what that crappy television station says. You should also not give a shit. By giving a shit, you give Fox News power.

I don’t need to listen to what little minded bigots in America say about my country. We aren’t going through half as bad of a recession as they are, so for all intents and purposes, their peabrained knowledge does not apply one bit to us.

Let them keep bitching and whining. It doesn’t affect me cause I don’t let it affect me. Simple as that.

They rile people up for ratings. I think they’re all actors, ultimately. Pay them no mind.

The_unconservative_one's avatar

No, there aren’t any. I generally don’t see value in studying them.

ninjacolin's avatar

i stand by what i said.. it’s fox. what do you expect?

Trustinglife's avatar

@mtl_zack, So, are you cured from ever taking Fox seriously again? :)

Fox is such a joke. All I ever seem to see on Fox is a bunch of pseudo-intellectuals taking a masturbatory delight in hearing themselves spew ignorant, elitist, narrow-minded drivel.

I occasionally tune in just to remind myself that some people like that truly do exist south of the border. I think it’s dangerous to ignore their existence, even though I would like to think that the majority of people see them for what they are. Complacency resulted in people like Hitler rising to power, after all. For example, could you imagine what would happen if someone like Ann Coulter tried running for political office and got any serious backing? I don’t understand how someone that intelligent can be so pathologically bigoted, hypocritical and, frankly, delusional. (I loved seeing Al Franken call her out.)

For the record, I’ve heard much more insulting comments made about Canada than the ones referred to in the petition. I have my doubts that a petition such as this one will really encourage Fox to make changes in their programming. They like the attention.
