Did anyone see Ann Coulter say that "[Canada} should be grateful that we let them live on the same continent" last night on Fox News?

Was anyone else insulted, appauled and sickened by it?

She makes it pretty hard to ever take her serious. But she's getting rich off of her little routine so I don't anticipate her ever shutting up.

See the problem here is Hannity or Coulter. Its you guys. Why are you watching FOX? You're only helping people like her by watching that channel. If everyone who hated FOX stopped watching it, they wouldn't be half so popular, which would mean less revenue, which would mean less money for the assholes on it and so on and so on.

I try to injest all sides of the issues, so listening and watching the competition is necessary to me. How else to fight them if I do not know them!?

I am not a neilson family anyway...my watching is not helping or hurting any show here.

Fox is part of a circle of reinforcement. It doesn't just reflect the views of those who believe in it, it creates the views.

It is reinforced in doing so because it gains a greater share of the market. People watch the shows (even if they hate the shows being shown) and this is reflected in the ratings which encourages sponsorship via advertising. This allows the company greater resources and allows them to advertise more heavily, which of course leads to more viewers.

When it comes to bad entertainment, the best option is to ignore it. Just look at how The Passion of the Christ gained publicity from the ridiculous anti-semetic protests.

FOX isn't part of the solution, its part of the problem. If a station with the same business plan and a liberal or moderate stance appeared tomorrow, it would be as big a problem. Good journalism shouldn't be about ratings. FOX isn't journalism, its entertainment. If you want to know about the views of these people, read some of their journalism.

No idea what a Neilson family is.

Ratings are based on the NEILSON families: Families that are selected and monitored for what they watch. The results are extrapolated out statistically. That is what ratings are based on.

Seems rather unscientific, but I don't know enough about it.

The best thing to do is to actually watch the show and then boycott any company that advertises during it. If enough people joined in it could have enough of a financial impact to force FOX into airing some other garbage in place of Hannity.

Well, I can at least dream about it can't I?
