[quote=girlcat36]I am dumbfounded by the reaction on air by my local FOX news team to this story! [/quote]It's not just the Fox Newsies who are doing this. This morning I was watching MSNBC's "Morning Joe," where in the first part of the first hour there was a segment involving a LOT of wink-wink, nudge-nudge, guffaw-guffaw about the NY Post story among Joe Scarborough (admittedly a conservative) and the more liberal members of the MJ team -- including, I regret to say, Mika Brzezinski, whom I always considered a voice of reason in that group. I found contact information for the show and shot off a quick email castigating them for their sophomoric efforts at "humor" -- noting that behaving similarly if the subject was a woman talking about how she got cervical cancer would set off a Twitter storm. I also noted that there was a preventative vaccine for the carcinogenic forms of HPV and that perhaps their air time might better be used to urge vaccination against this potentially deadly virus (as Texas Governor Rick Perry did; he may have faults, but that wasn't one of them) instead of making fun of Michael Douglas for his sexual behavior.

I'd like to think it made a difference. Normally the first 20 minutes or so of the 8 a.m. hour consists of a rerun of the first 20 minutes of the 6 a.m. hour. Not today!
