Fox smut

Fox News never misses an opportunity to show pretty, busty women. I know – you’re wondering why I’m complaining. I’m not opposed to pretty, busty women (although in real life, I generally prefer less busty, but I’m not one to discriminate based on boob size).

But if you look at their female “correspondents”, they are by far the hottest “newscasters” on the teevee. Nothing wrong with that either, but it sets a certain tone. They constantly find a way to post naughty video while they are complaining about naughty videos or will show a video featuring lots o’ boobs to accompany a story that has nothing to do with boobs. It works for their core demographic, I guess – horny men.

Here is Bill O’Reilly complaining about a downside to the internet that is “all the rage” for the kids. He says that most adults aren’t aware of this site. Stay with me here – he’s talking about --- YOUTUBE! (What happens when he discovers that there is real pornography on the web? That will probably happen in another few years. They’re a little slow on the uptake over there at Fox.)

While complaining about all the sexy videos available on YouTube, Fox doesn’t miss the opportunity to show clips from many of them (the Huff Post refers to them as porn, but everyone is clothed and as you know, you go to YouPorn for porn and to YouTube for videos of cats high on catnip).

From the Huffington Post:

O'Reilly began the segment with a rather strange statement:
"I know a lot of adults don't go to YouTube, but this is the rage among American children, children as young as six, seven years old." In fact, we're quite sure that YouTube is "the rage" among adults as well, but moving on.

His guest was conservative columnist Amanda Carpenter, who started her analysis by explaining exactly what YouTube is. However, the camera quickly turned away from her and went full screen to YouTube porn videos, effectively turning Ms. Carpenter's description into a voice-over for a porn montage.

…

We assume there was nothing cynical in O'Reilly's decision to titillate his audience with long porn montages while railing against the dangers of porn. Then again, Fox News does have a rich history in arousing its audience for ratings.

Go watch the video and get annoyed or aroused or both. (Huff Post won’t let me embed it, so you need to go to their site to watch it.)
