burn in hell, fox news

Ok, so everyone knows that Fox News shames anyone in the journalism field. It's like a plague or something.

But this time, Fox News went too far! As TMZ.com reported, Fox News took out a two-page ad in Television Week calling Anderson Cooper the "Paris Hilton of television news." Ok yeah, Anderson is dreamy, but what makes him even better is that he's a smart reporter and is great at his job. So why all the animosity? From TMZ:

"The spat erupted last week when Cooper took a shot at FOX News for hyping Insight magazine's incorrect story that Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama had attended a radical Islamic school as a child in Indonesia. 'Others are reporting the heat. We are sticking to the facts,' Cooper said at the time."

There you go, kids. Anderson Cooper calling it like it is. Regardless of your opinion of CNN or Anderson, you have to admit the guy has a point.

And don't even get me started on how Fox is trying to hurt Obama more than a year before the election by acting like it's a big deal that he went to a Muslim school when he was a kid in Indonesia. Um...Fox News? It would take you five seconds to look at Wikipedia and find out the country is 86% Muslim so yeah, not really weird that he went to an Islamic school.

Let's not forget that even before Anderson Cooper was AC 360 he was the host of one of the greatest reality shows "The Mole."

Ah, The Mole. And before that, he was a correspondent for Channel One, which I didn't have because I didn't go to a public school with lots of money to pay for crap like that.
