Fox and Friends Say New Superheroes have been "wussified"

Fox and Friends Say New Superheroes have been "wussified"

The hosts of Fox and Friends lament the decline of masculinity, patriotism, and smoking in today's comic books/comic book adaptations.

So according to Fox 
  • Popeye needs to smoke becuase it's a symbol of "masculintity and freedom"
  • Wonder Woman needs to be more patriotic
  • The female Thor is political correctness
  • Covering up Wonder Woman is equal to Islamic Law

This is the network that said that women should be flattered when they are sexually harassed at work. Even the women hosts say that they would be disappointed if someone doesn't whistle or clap at them when they walk by. Sad network

If you internet people get past the fact that its fox news they kinda do have a point.

I mean comics in some areas have been sissified. Just look at the cartoons. There was a period of time where censorship made comic book shows soooo childish. They couldnt say death, they could rarely throw a punch. At least nowdays they are making TV PG cartoons and not TV Y7. People DIED on Young Justice. Gawd i mish that show

Hahahaha!!! That image of Wonder Woman in pants is from years ago. I'm not surprised Fox News doesn't know what they're talking about.

And Fox and Friends are a pack of demons dressed up like humans who want to slowly and systematically help turn America into a place that ends up looking like Syria or Iran.

CNN sucks, MSNBC is [frick]ing awful, but Fox News is straight up paranoia propaganda.

I like BBC, but it's hard to find good places sometimes

FOX and friends -all I can say is "what a bunch of A-Holes". Seriously, the worst part of America is that there is shit like this that makes the country look bad to the rest of the world. These people do nothing but complain and how everything sucks. Blame everything on the liberal is the motto -even with comic book heroes.

the thor hate just baffles me and a wonder women redesign hate is really weird.

the new design is so much better looking. and there is nothing wrong with change. the news people have probably never read a comic but comic fans that do would welcome a redesign. it would be boring with the same suit after a while

popeye not smokeing anymore is fine but i dont get why he doesnt have tattoos anymore. even i they were to have a pipe with no smoke coming out should be fine.

I don't think I'll ever be as serious as I am now. Even if someone wants to argue with me later. So enjoy this moment of lucidity from me.

My dad, the conservative US Marine (recently retired now after 30 years) not only hates Fox News, but tells people all the time that corporate owned news can't be trusted. That they are the reason for the sensationalized media we have now with the talking head pundits (that are spin doctors) and the current political divide (studies show that America is more polarized now than it has ever been since the Civil War).

I think it goes back further. I think this is all because President Ronnie Alzheimers repealed the Fairness Doctrine. It was a policy that prevented biased talking head pundits from going on the air, making shit up and spreading that bullshit unchallenged. It also helped inform viewers by requiring a conversation on a politically charged topic, rather than allow straight ticket voters to have their opinions fed back to them without cross examination...like today.

Want to see one of the greatest political debates of all time?



Christopher Hitchens vs. William F. "Anti-Sarah Palin" Buckley Jr. and his hilarious lackey (they should have given Hitch one too!). You don't see that very often anymore and the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine is because of that...in my opinion anyways.

BBC News is great, as is PBS News, but they're not on 24 hours a day. As much as I hate to say it...if you want to watch a really good 24 hour cable news channel (that isn't C-SPAN)....I'm afraid Al Jazeera is your best bet. Yes, that Al Jazeera. It's like watching CNN 20 years ago. Boring, informative (with actual experts talking) and non-confrontational. You won't find any shouting matches on that news network.

Now...I know what you're thinking. And I find that MADtv sketch to be funny too!



^^^ Never let the truth get in the way of a good joke! :D
