FAIR AND BALANCED

Just curious...why is it that the FOX network is always in capital letters? It's not as if the letters stand for anything, like NBC, CBS, or ABC, unless you take Ces' suggestion that it stands for "Fucking Old Xenophobes."

Could it be that FOX viewers don't understand or appreciate the subtle grammatical interplay between upper-case and lower-case letters? Or do they just like to be shouted at all the time?

Fox viewers like things to be obvious. They watch because they have been told, right there on the screen, that Fox News is "Fair and Balanced." What a relief it is to them not to have to guess which channel to watch!

Actually I think the Fox network just has acronym envy. I know I sure do. What should my acronym be, I wonder...

PS still laughing at "the subtle grammatical interplay between upper-case and lower-case letters."
