It's way too early in the fucking morning to need a drink.

Thanks to karnythia, I now know that Bill O'Reilly and Fox News repeatedly mislabeled Mark Foley a Democrat. Can't we file a class-action lawsuit to make them accurately label themselves Fox Propaganda?

At this point it's got nothing to do with the damn post anymore. It's got everything to do with why I LiveJournal. I am not some great blogger. I am just a ranty, easily angered, easily distracted twentysomething who enjoys using LJ to keep up with friends and acquaintances on my work breaks. I do not use LJ as some great learn-all-about-the-universe thing. I do not have fucking time for that. I have expressed to you on numerous occasions that my LJ is not the proper place for showy debates, in large part because I do this for fun. I'm not under any illusions that I'm going to have any bright insights or that I'm going to have any influence on anyone whatsoever. You have ignored my request not to have pyrotechnical debates in my personal LJ numerous times. There are plenty of spots on the Internet which would welcome this type of discourse; why must you persist in staging it here?

The only "pyrotechnics", such as they were, was my initial "AIIGH". After that, I posted a simple issue with slamming all of Fox News because they hired a flake to appeal to other flakes, and thus drive up their ad revenue. I've been critical of O'Reilly quite a bit, and he's one of the reasons I don't watch FNN for the news (he's on far too much), so slamming him directly makes sense to me. Bringing FNN into it (beyond being fools enough to sign his contract) seems a bit much.

This is the first post of yours I've responded to in a while. I'm usually just enjoying your library stories, posts about how you're handling the whole process of marriage, etc. I have kept quiet for the most part, because of your request. I apologize for any stress you might have felt because of me, and have created my own post to handle any further discussion, if anyone wants to reply. I don't "persist in staging" debates here -- this was going to be something light, I thought. I spend much more time in debate over at eyelid's journal, honestly, and I get to learn about Sukkot in the process, so it's all good.

Your position that this was somehow to be showy is baffling, but that's fine -- I've moved this off of your journal per your request. It's not meant to be showy anywhere else, but at least it won't trouble you, right?

Dwiv, when Kelly indicated that this was something that she did not want to debate over, why don't you let this go? It's her journal, and she has the right to say what she wants without you deriding it. If you don't like what she has to say, use the fucking scrollbar.

And yes, you are doing this to show off.

[dwivian]

If I'm showing off, I'm doing a damn lousy job of it -- in my journal I've already learned that the error could have been made by FNN staff, and not O'Reilly's people, which I hadn't expected. It's making me revisit how I see the whole thing. Why would I call attention to that?

The rest of your statement -- I've replied several times, and erased it, since I can't see how it furthers good discussion. Raise this question in my journal, and I'll answer there.
