So in the light of recent going-ons at Fox News, Ted Rall wrote a post about what its like there, having appeared as guest on the network back in the days of Dubya.

There are some usual Rall-isms, but it's actually an interesting post. Sean Hannity really is a nutjob in person, even by Rall's standards.

That absolute fuckwit honestly believes he was repeatedly invited to comment on Fox shows because he was good at representing a left-wing perspective. Not because he's an embarrassing strawman come to life.

This was during the years immediately following 9/11. George W. Bush and his wars were popular, especially with Fox viewers. And I went after Bush more aggressively than anyone else. So they were constantly begging me to come on as a liberal punching bag.

It became routine: Fox News popped up on caller ID. Would you like to come on The O�Reilly Factor/Hannity and Colmes/later just Hannity to talk about it? Why yes, I would. Bill or Sean would yell at me (as Alan silently cowered). I�d shoot back a volley of snark in hope that some of it would get through my deliberately tamped-down mic.

I'm generally not one to defend Rall, but he seems to understand what his role was well enough.

So they are just going to ignore that a nazi punched a woman during the demonstration?

I know I'm late, but I've already seen a bunch of people online leaping to the Nazi's defense, saying he was attacked first and thus only acting in self-defense, that the woman had illegal weighted gloves, and something about "explosives in bottles" and other underhanded weaponry being plied against him.

I guess Trump's gonna bomb Europe?

Wait, is "strategic patience" supposed to be a bad thing?
Who needs tact, diplomacy, strategy, or patience when you have bombs you can just drop wherever you want?? Also don't vote Hillary, she loves war.

Maybe someone who's actually fat, while we're at it.

E: Actually the more I look at it the more it was hastily edited to be Clinton and not Trump. He's even got the tie!

Also some notes:

Garrison can't bring himself to call 'em "Republicans"
Check out that Ivanka trying to pull her daddy into the globalism swamp, esp. relative hand size to Trump
Literally all of the campaign promises banners are things Trump has decided to ditch on his own except for the wall
Sure, Trump was coerced into firing missiles, Garrison, you dumb gently caress

gradenko_2000: Oct 5, 2010; HELL SERPENT; Lipstick Apathy

On the far left is Jose Luis Martin Gascon, the head of the Philippines's Commission on Human Rights, who has repeatedly criticized the Duterte administration for violating human rights in its violent war on drugs

To his right is Vice President Leni Robredo, who prompted this comic by recently speaking out in favor of studying Portugal's system of drug decriminalization as an alternative to the President's war on drugs. The Louis Vuitton bag is supposed to mark her as being "fake" in her claims that she came from humble beginnings.

The speech bubble reads:

"Don't worry, we will protect you. If in the old days [of the Aquino's Liberal Party administration, where Robredo belongs to] we did not care about you at all, now we will leverage your poverty for our own goals"

"I liked Bill. I mean he was a mercenary who would spin a dangerous agenda that left countless people dead, and he would do it purely for the money, but I liked him. Because he was nice to me, Ted Rall.

Hannity was mean to me, so gently caress that guy."

And I honestly wouldn't have known it was Bannon if he hadn't labelled it. It looks like a stock caricature, Generic White Man in Suit no. 473, not the walking herpes sore that Bannon is.
