FoxNews and Professional Wrestling: Is there any difference?

[rightwinger]

Fox News is to News as Professional Wrestling is to Sport

Both are provided for entertainment rather than actual sport or news. For those who haven't noticed, the same audience watches both and believes it to be real.

Watch a professional wrestler as he preens in front of a camera and rants about his opponent. Is he any different from a Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity?

You should add to your mindless spew, the fact that Linda McMahon, wife of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, has thrown her hat into the political ring, and will be running as a repug, for Chris Dodd's Senate Seat in 2010. What a circus that should be.

You should also do a little research, perchance to learn that today's wrestling fans are 14-30 year olds, mostly gamers, mostly left-leaning. And not a one thinks pro wrestling is real. For real, they watch UFC.

Of course, for you to have included any of this you would have to actually have thought about your premise, and it wouldn't be so half-baked.

However, it amuses me how much you Obamaphiles fear FNC.

Why does FoxNews' existence frighten so many liberal children like leftwinger?

I'm thinking of starting a non-profit charity whose sole goal is to purchase remote controls for needy liberals unable to change their own channels... Think it will catch on?

Because like every successful propaganda campaign, they need a boogieman. Hmm, that's also like any successful pro wrestling storyline!

Same infantile mindset too!

Well, fuck no! The only one they want to see is one that would be mandatory, that blocks FNC for everyone!

Fun fact-finding for morons like limpwinger who go off half baked because they are lazy, sloppy and careless thinkers who indiscriminately imbibe the kool-aid and believe in false stereotypes:

• WWE programming reaches 16 million viewers in the U.S. each week
• Balanced age distribution with 77% of the audience over the age of 18
  • 23.4% of our audience is under 18 years old
  • 25.4% of our audience is 18-34 years old
  • 23.3% of our audience is 35-49 years old
  • 27.8% of our audience is 50+ years old
• Strong female audience
  • 36% of our viewers are female
• Diverse audience
  • Most watched cable program among Hispanics
  • Hispanics represent 23% of total audience which is 53% higher than the national average
  • Monday Night Raw ranks in Top 3 Cable programs for African Americans

Does that sound like what you've been spoon fed about FNC's audience?

You better trash this moronic talking point right away!

FoxNews and Pro Wrestling started out the same way. Both tried to be legit. Pro Wrestling was initially a sport, but found it could make more money as contrived wrestling entertainment. Fox News started as a legitimate news outlet but found it could make more money by borrowing its format from Pro Wrestling and becoming News Entertainment

Your bullshit premise has been shredded, so you try to move the goalposts.

Desperation.

FoxNews and Pro Wrestling

- same viewers
- same format
- same commentators
- both sold out to become entertainment

Excellent analogy, harsh words replace harsh take downs, but the thing is a show. Fox loved the last president and came to his aid whenever reality stepped in. Now Ailes tells them the show has changed and the enemy is now the president. If we could change reality for a moment would Fox love a republican Obama, or are their values such that supporting America comes way behind their ideology. I used to take our boys to see wrestling, Roddy Roger, Andre the giant were great shows and here's another analogy, the fans who screamed for their wrestler are so much like the Tea Baggers and town hall crazies. It must be an evolutionary leftover, ever see monkeys jumping up and down. lol

More like the barking moonbats who shriek about Fox News are the gullible mullets, who still believe that pro rasslin' is real.

 

[rightwinger]

Maybe President Obama should consider appearing on Professional Wrestling..

It has as much valididty as Fox News

 

[Wry Catcher]

One big difference. Professional wrestlers are professonals! Though on second thought, Fox talking heads have much in common with those who practice oldest profession.
