Is Penn right that Fox News is coming to an end?

Question

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/03/18/DDNDVJJHL.DTL

"Bill O'Reilly, who is too stupid to talk about," and "Sean Hannity, the butt boy of Rupert Murdoch," Penn said, "We know something more. We know their end is near."


Or more likely an actor who has no concept of reality?

Answer 1

Is THIS the Sean Penn of which you speak??







Dictator-groupie Sean Penn told Australia's The Age that Venezuelan autocrat Hugo Chavez is “much more positive for Venezuela than he is negative” and the Chavez-crafted constitution is “a very beautiful document.”



Yes, that's the same leader who is a student of the Robert Mugabe School of Economics, shut down a TV station that criticized him and just installed himself El Presidente for life.



But hey, Venezuelans, relax! Actor/director/humanitarian Sean Penn isn't concerned that Chavez is on his way to becoming a dictator. So, stop worrying that Chavez will confiscate your home or business and force you to sew “I Heart Holocaust-Deniers”





Thanks Sean, uhhhhh we will be getting our news from somewhere else...





FOX ROX !! !

Answer 2

These right wing talk show loons have been blathering for the last twenty years. Like a dog chasing a car, eventually their pet politicians caught the car....after that they had no idea what to do with it. Believing their own propaganda, the dimwits of the post Reagan GOP began to gut and hollow out a reasonable form of government that more or less did the job for the American middle class and the American wage earner for over 200 years. Deregulate this, deregulate that and shazam.....every crook, thief, scam artist, and cheesy bum in the United States took advantage to rob, loot and steal every damned thing worth stealing. Now we have an inflation, two wars, a massive national debt and 'blue and 'red' states where once we had a 'United States'. Who knows how much longer slake jaws like Hannity and O'Reilly and all the other right wing bozos will be raking in the bucks while spreading their political and social BS over the public airways...all I know is that goes around comes around and by the time their time is over it will be a long time before the damage these creeps have done will be repaired. Buy a clue fellow posters.....the fascisti nonsense of the Republican party and the Bush Junta got us into this mess and what have you got out of it? Maybe a few old made-in-China flags to wave. That doesn't seem like a good deal to me...how about you?

Answer 3

Penn has no concept of reality. He, and all the other actors and Hollywood hyped-up, better-than-the average-American socialites need to leave politics alone. They don't know anymore than the common citizen, it's just that they have a media platform to voice their opinions from.



We'll see who's end in near, as we see more and more reality shows replace those that once used high paid actors. Besides what has Penn done since "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", where he played the role of his true self/life-style?

Answer 4

No, Fox News is a well financed political machine, so they aren't going anywhere soon. But, yes, it is true that O'Liely is too stupid to talk about. And yes, Hannity is a regular bender. The whole conservative thing is just an act with him. It's a cover, like Spitzer prosecuting prostitution rings. It's always the ones who rail the loudest, because they have the most to hide.

Answer 5

Penn is using his platform to rant. O'Rielly is the most watched cable news show for the 8PM time slot, blowing the socks off CNN, MSNBC and others. Hannity and Colmes also does OK. It doesn't matter if he likes them or not, 51+ percent of America is still conservative to centrist. Living in Hollywood, one can see how he would be subject to the illusion that he speaks about.

Answer 6

End? The leader in cable news? I doubt it.

CNN's commentators are just as laughable.



Since when is Sean Penn the new Nostradamus?

Answer 7

I have no court situations approximately liberals gazing fox information. sure a number of them bash fox on a ordinary foundation yet, as long as they are gazing fox they're a minimum of listening to a attitude that would fluctuate from their very own. Who know possibly one among those techniques will stick.

Answer 8

Penn is yet one more Hollywood fool that thinks that because he has made millions as an actor... his opinion counts for something.



He is an idiot. If he didn't pass his casting call he would be bagging groceries at the Kroger. Then who would listen to his rants?



Ignore those fools and use your own brain to gather and verify facts.

Answer 9

Since FOX News blows away the competition in ratings I think it is safe to say they will be around quite a while.



...and Sean Penn is an idiot.

Answer 10

I wouldn't believe anything a movie star has to say. They all live in a fantasy land. Form you own judgement.

Answer 11

penn needs to stick to acting

Answer 12

I hope not. It keeps stupid people off the streets.

Answer 13

I doubt it, they blow all other news networks away in ratings....they are also the most fair.



That would be jo, I'm not a guy...

Answer 14

No and yes.
