Would YOU Want to Be a Citizen of "FOX Nation?"

One of my least favorite types of sales pitches, is the rapidly edited appeal by several voices, repeating the same phrase: "Together/TOGETHER/together. . .we/WE/We all will prevail. . .all prevail!" It's hackneyed, old, cliched. And when it is a bunch of FOX "News" personalities? Almost unendurable.

Even worse, when it tries to make it look like FOX "News" and the website FOX Nation are fair and balanced like their worn-out motto implies, by using commentators from both sides. But the sides are out of balance to the point of absurdity. From the left, Bob Beckel, Alan Colmes and Juan Williams. From the middle, Greta Van Whatsername! And from the right, Sean Hannity, Bill Kristol, Bill O'Reilly, Ollie North, and Karl Freakin' Rove!!! If you've never been to FOX Nation though, you can be forgiven for believing this ad's intended purpose. Once you've been there, though, you'll never be fooled into thinking it's got any sort of balance at all.
