Those people should not be allowed on TV. Americans owe all allied soldiers thanks, no matter what country they come from. We were attacked and Canada as well as a number of other allies chose to help us. Pure Ignorance.

Red Eye is not news, it is like watching SNL News or Comedy Central, but not as humorous.

I don't think we should pass a law to censor them, I think they should be fired. Firing someone for saying something blatantly stupid and with national security ramifications is not censoring them. Fox should take away their platform.

In this case there would be nobody working for the major newspapers or most of congress.

This show is on at 3 in the morning (eastern). It's shock humor.

Does that sound like an adult to you? Sorry if I take this stuff seriously but I went to school for writing, and I plan to make my living by expressing myself. No one needs to be fired over a crappy series of jokes--btw, the segment wasn't funny. Not because it was offensive, but because it was a bit hackish and unoriginal.

This is Fox' late night entry attempting to emulate the shock jock mentality.
It's meant to be lewd, crude and to get a reaction. It seems to have succeeded. Take it for what it is. It's not a serious news program.

It sounds like the free market to me. It's not like I can fire them from one lowly post in a cigar forum. We'll see if enough people support that crap to keep tuning in. I'd be surprised if they're on in three months.

I'd rather watch infomercials for the Sham-wow, then those idiots.
