You say "Fox Network". Are you referring to the local Fox affiliate, or The Fox News Channel? The Fox News Channel is one of my all-time favorite channels.

I had no idea that TV was such irrational nonsense. If I though it would do any good, I would write in and tell the FCC that Fox should not be relicensed to broadcast when their current license expires.
