lee camp talks a bit about his appearance on faux "news"

Why I Called Fox News "Propaganda" While Live on Fox News
Posted by Lee Camp, AlterNet
As most of you have seen, I ripped into Fox "News" while on a Fox "News" morning show this past Saturday. If you haven't seen it, the clip is to your right. I didn't say what I said in order to get attention. I figured that my statements would piss off a few hundred Fox viewers (or maybe help them question the "facts" they're getting from their sacred channel) and that I would show the clip to a few friends. As it turned out, within a day the clip had been viewed around 300,000 times on various sites, and I was getting interview requests from national radio shows. Apparently I struck a nerve........

.............What happened after they cut to a commercial? Clayton Morris was visibly furious but didn't say a word. Neither did anyone in the main studio. I got up, took my microphone off, and walked silently back to the greenroom, itching to the get the fuck out of that sixth circle of hell. Back in the greenroom I saw the female co-host, who was wearing her normal business skirt that is only half an inch away from illegal in 23 states. Even though there are three TV's back there showing nothing but Fox "News" (and we act like water boarding is torture?) she apparently had not watched the segment. She looked at me and said, "GREAT JOB!! We need more humor on the show. It's all so serious!" She did not get to the natural conclusion of her thought, "Now excuse me. I have to go interview strippers wearing Star Trek outfits designed for three-year-olds."..........

this is PRICELESS, PRICELESS i tell you!

damn, i have ANOTHER hero! lee camp who calls faux 'news' (ON AIR, ON FAUX
'NEWS') a FESTIVAL OF IGNORANCE. this is THE best (and that cut away to a story on how sexy captain kirk is, is surreal. shite, i'm in heaven)
Comedian Lee Camp: Fox News a 'festival of ignorance'
"What is Fox News?" asks comedian and activist Lee Camp on the air. "It's just a parade of propaganda, isn't it? It's just a...festival of ignorance.
"A million people are dead in Iraq. Come on. This is ridiculous. What's the point of this?"
"This is insane," Camp continues. "Go out--leave your home. Go outside! Go hug your children! Love your family, you know? Do something with your life."
The anchor and panelist quickly act to drown out Camp's speech before handing the show off to another Fox anchor, flanked by four buxom women in makeshift Star Trek uniforms, to promote a story about Captain Kirk's sex appeal.......
