ATHLETES VS. ARTISTS


A theory on why freakishly successful athletes tend to be more conservative and freakishly successful artists (actors etc.) tend to be more liberal; Athletes have a sense on entitlement because they have been so good for so long. From the time they were in the 6th grade they were the best anyone had ever seen. Whereas no one told a 10 year old Stephen Colbert and a 13 year old John Stewart and an 8 year old Barbara Streisand that they were going to be freakishly successful and renowned worldwide. For athletes success is no surprise, for entertainers success is the appreciation of surprise.

The Faux News Network Principles

A) We distort, you abide
B) Or we retort if you deride, unless we choose not to
C) Complete sentences are acceptable in lieu of complete truths
D) It’s OK to criticize the 2006 Democratic Congress for all America’s problems since 2001
E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
J) We proudly plagiarize in advance, examples available upon request
K) It’s easy to be fun-based when you’re fact based
L) Good news parody makes for good news parity
M) And, of course, our goal is and always will be to be the most trusted name in Faux News
