So with the demise of Dubya was supposed to come the demise of Fox News
(though getting rid of Lou Dobbs may have been an even better idea).
However, it seems that Fox have figured out a new way to control public opinion
and push forward their evil agenda - Jack Bauer and 24. Now I'm a big fan
of 24 and a huge fan of Jack B, but this season has been so focused on using
torture (or radical methods) to get information out of suspects that it seems
somewhat coincidental that this emphasis is happening at the same time as Obama
is sweeping into office with his promises of shutting down Guantanamo.
Even funnier is that it seems to be working. Public opinion, which was so
anti-Guantanamo and the flouting of the Geneva Convention, has suddenly turned
to support for whatever methods are necessary to get required information.
Even the gray lady appears to have changed its tune! What next? Is
Ryan Seacrest going to convince us that we need to attack Iran? Will Homer
Simpson espouse the need to reduce taxes and increase government
expenditure? I know it's too much to think that Fox can change but I
really hope the rest of us do.

why is Jack Bauer torturing our Philthy?
i was obsessed with 24 for a few months and right after i'd watch it, i'd immediately post a status update on facebook about it and it really annoyed my gym friends who would watch it on tivo a few days later cuz they'd see me ruin it for them on facebook. there's no point to this comment. anyways, i haven't been watching it lately cuz it started getting too confusing to me. i really wanted jack and renee to hook up cuz renee is so in love with jack and her boss who is dead now was totally in love with her so it was a love triangle. i always wanted jack & renee to hook up cuz i'd forget that this is an hour long real time show and there is no time for silly sh!t like hooking up.
