FoxNews and Professional Wrestling: Is there any difference?

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?

Are you my ex fiancee? :lol:

He used to say that all the time!

He argues politics on youtube believe it or not, he said the nutters are more crazy there than here.

Is this a proposition? *blush*
 
While each wrestling match is ostensibly a competition of athletics and strategy, the goal of each match from a business standpoint is to excite and entertain the audience. Although the competition is staged, dramatic emphasis can be utilized to draw out the most intense reaction from the audience. Heightened interest results in higher attendance rates, increased ticket sales, higher ratings on television broadcasts (which result in greater ad revenue), higher pay-per-view buyrates, and sales of branded merchandise and recorded video footage. All of these contribute to the profit of the promotion company.

Compare this to the business model of FoxNews

I guess that's why he's your ex. :lol: Sounds like a real piece of work to me.

You compare it. Link us to FNC's business model. It's your assertion.

One that you're desperately clinging to even after it's been thoroughly shredded, I might add.

You see Fox News is in the business of News Entertainment. They tried to cut it as a real news network but their ratings were dismal.
Then they struck on the idea of combining Pro Wrestling, carnival sideshow and network news and they struck paydirt.
Much like Pro Wresting, they hire blonde bimbos to fire up the crowd. Like a wrestling crowd, Fox viewers conform to whatever the handler wants them to believe.
Tea Bagging....they are there
9/12 rally....count them in

Like a wrestling crowd they all spout the slogans when prompted and scream at the designated villian
 
Is this the best 'analysis' Rightwinger can do? Sad.
It's not even really a workable analogy.

Pathetic is more like it.
This is a trial balloon. They're floating it out at various boards on the net so they can patch the holes, rips and gouges shot in it by actual thinking people, refine it, so they can officially trundle it out at the Sunday talk shows next week.

Never realizing of course, that a much better analogy is OBAMA and pro wrestling!:rofl:

Except for one caveat: Pro wrestlers are talented enough that they don't need teleprompters to speak in public!:rofl:

Eh, fox, wrestling...what the hell is the difference....?
 
Zona, you idiot. Lauren Jones never worked for Fox News:

Lauren Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jones starred in the scripted/reality hybrid series Anchorwoman,[1] premiering on the Fox Broadcasting network August 22, 2007. Jones was cast as the principal role of Anchorwoman. The role was primarily scripted and part improvisational, with a great deal of comedic undertones. Some journalists voiced outspoken criticism of the scripted 30-day broadcast-news stunt at a small Tyler, Texas television station. Jones went on to interview with Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor. The show was canceled from the network after airing two back to back episodes. The debut scored 2.0 rating on fast nationals, and reported to have 2.7 million viewers overall.[2]
You're a desperate, indiscriminate imbiber and regurgitator of the kool-aid as well! :rofl:
