NETWORK NEWS VS. THE FAMILY GUY
1/16/08
I heard a recent poll statistic on one of the network news programs, while I was surfing through the television stations. The news anchor stated; that 73% of Americans have no interest in the Presidential Primaries. It was shortly after 6:00pm E.S.T. when I heard this news item. Generally I look forward to watching The Family Guy on the Fox Network at this time. My cable system carries The Family Guy between 6 and 7 pm, which is the usual state and national news hour . I find I am compelled to watch the histerical Griffin Family of Rhode Island during this time of day. It is far more intellectually rewarding, than trying to sift through the lies and lunacy of network news.
Fox program executives were right on the money placing a double feature of The Family Guy to compete with all the other network news programs. It is a perfect “in your face” revolt against the brainwashing technique of the six oclock to seven oclock sychronizing of the network news cycle. I thank Fox and my local cable company for providing this wonderful Family Guy entertainment escape hatch for me to get away from the mind numbing, brain sapping , censored, force fed , news reports by the heavy make up, main stream media monopoly. There is nothing I have found that is funnier than watching Peter Griffin receiving a rectal exam,or Stewie piloting a stealth bomber in a war to win domination of his playground against his evil half brother; at the same time Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Charles Gibson , Wolf Blitzer, Tucker Carlson , Bill Lehar , and every other talking head in the country, are trying to convince their viewers of the seriousness, and sanity of their own mind numbing, creatively written, news reports.
Lois Griffin for President ! McFarlane the creator of Family Guy should create a cartoon debate, between Hillary Clinton and Lois Griffin. I guarantee it would be Fox’s most highly rated show. I can imagine the anger and embarassment of the “self important” main stream news anchors; when they realize they were beaten out in the ratings by a Lois Griffin , Hillary Clinton debate, monitored by a tired looking, tie less, Tim Russert look alike, cartoon character.
It’s time for a real change. Peter Griffin should be the new Fox News Anchorman. His interviews would be as intelligent as anything Geraldo Rivera, or Bill O’Reily have ever produced. If Peter Griffin couldn’t be considered an anchor at Fox, or any other network, he could easily replace Geraldo as Fox ” Reporter at Large”. Brian the Griffin family’s martini drinking , babe dating , talking dog, would be a shoe in for Brit Hume’s, or Chris Wallace’s spot on Fox News, or a replacement for Wolf Blitzer or Cafferty on CNN. Stewie could easly replace Billy Bush on ET(they will be looking for a replacement; after Uncle George is out of the White House) and Meg could replace any of the female ” Best Political Reporters” on CNN. Since Fox has been accused by competing networks, ie. MSNBC , and most of the globalist media for dumbing down the news. Fox should go all out and attempt to deliver accurate news reporting by cartoon characters. They do it very successfully with the Fox owned Daily Show. It’s a good idea that would take bold, executive, courage to pull off. I would watch it, and enjoy it, and based on the recent polls and political rhetoric, I think most of America would appreciate the “Change”.
