The America Show
The Internet has been all a buzzin' with a story that Fox News has commissioned a right wing version of the Daily Show.
Well, it's called 'The America Show' and a couple of trial versions of it are now on YouTube.
It is the worst thing I have ever seen.
I posted a 'Video Response' to them but they've got their clips set to 'moderation'; I have a feeling they're not gonna let it through.
UPDATE: 11:07pm - It appears that this IS NOT the new Fox show, known as 'This Just In'. Now I really do feel like an asshole.
UPDATE 2: 29th, November 2006: Hmm...according to this comment by BD there might just be something to this 'Fox-connection' after all. Will have to investigate.
Holy shit.

I could be wrong but I believe the Fox-commissioned show and this garbage are two unrelated projects. I can't imagine this rotten abortion of a show being commissioned, financed or sanctioned by any major network - even if it was fox. But correct me if I'm wrong.

I weep for that country. (look at drivers license) Holy Shit.

Sorry... that was so painful I couldn't watch the whole thing.

No, Jett. You were right. This has no place on teh internets.

Indeed the worst thing I've ever seen.

It's not necessary to feel like an asshole. It's a lesson in humility and source checking. :) It's good, honest feedback, too and whatever these girls were trying to do they failed completely. It's truly awful. Not to mention a Fox News based right wing version of the Daily Show. That is also a terrible idea.

Whoops! I think we've all been subject to a foolish knee-jerk reaction at some point.

I like to think that my knee-jerk reaction to CRAP is appropriate. I'm nothing if not a woman of good taste. :P

I have a problem. I cannot stop watching these.

I still think that this show and the Joel Surnow/ Fox News show may be merging into the same thing. Surnow's show used to be called "This Just In" but it's no longer called that. And Julia Gorin (one of the three girls) blogs with Surnow at politicalmavens.com
