NEW YORK (AP) – The Fox network is making a reality show out of the troubled economy. An upcoming series titled, “Someone’s Gotta Go,” lets employees of a small business decide which one of their colleagues will be laid off.
Fox says it has no air date yet for the series, which is being developed by the company behind “Big Brother” and “Deal or No Deal.” Each week, a different company lays off an employee. Fox also wouldn’t reveal the show’s host, which it says is a business consultant who will offer advice to participating companies.
I have no doubt this will be a huge hit. So will they follow this up with “Someone’s Gotta Go, Revenge of the Fired”?
What is next?
There ain’t enough food to feed everyone Jethro. Someones gotta die! Watch as old friends consider who should be eaten next. Fun times for the whole family!
#15 OK, that confirms it; Alfred1 is a spoof. No one is that brainwashed.
#18 Pew is a good name for that bunch of loons; their research generally stinks. FAIR’s appraisals of media bias over the past few years has come to some -very- different conclusions.
# 22 Li said, “FAIR’s appraisals of media bias over the past few years has come to some -very- different conclusions.”
FAIR’s execs are a bunch of left wing loons…
Jeff Cohen founded FAIR in 1986. He served as the group’s executive director for a number of years, and later on its board of directors. Upon taking a full time job with MSNBC in May 2002,
Anyone know where Paddy-O works?
Then again, if he’s fired, he’ll simply post here more often…
…but, that could be a good thing, no?

paddy I just checked out that good read thanks
I’ll link your source for you

II think you are having a problem with the concept of “bias” and getting lost in the data.
Would you think Fox news was unbiased if they were reporting in 1939 and had a 50% positive to 50% negative coverage of Hitler?
Looks like in 2008 Obama was just the choice even FOX News thought so
from that study
The Fox News Channel
In many ways, the data offer hard evidence to confirm the notion that, at least when it comes to politics, MSNBC is now a counterweight, or leftward leaning alternative, to the tone of coverage seen on another cable channel, Fox.
On the Fox News Channel, the coverage was both more negative toward Obama and more positive toward both McCain and Palin than we found in the press generally. That said, coverage of McCain was still more negative than positive on Fox News by a factor of roughly 2 to 1.

I’d hardly equate Obama to Hitler, but you are entitled to your opinion…

Did you learn quoting out of context and baseless innuendo from Fox News?
hope that last one can be deleted
[Oh Yeah - ed.]
Darn you Sister Mary, I was going to say that…
For a season final, the person ‘laid-off’ gets to come back to the office and ‘off’ one of his co-workers!
Opps, sorry for the spoiler!
It’s going to be #1 just like American IDOL WORSHIP.
It does not matter what loons have against FOX…its market share gets bigger each new block buster they create…
Evidently they know business…
I bet this show dominates its time slot…I can see people taking their dinner to the tube…to watch…
Its gonna be great entertainment…and no doubt will comment on the stupidity of destroying producers…just so ACORN workers can be paid more…
when did an ACORN worker give you a job?
It doesn’t matter what loons have against Hitler; his parades keep attracting more and more people!
Evidently they know business, just ask AG Faber and VW!
I bet these Nazi fellows will dominate the political scene; I can see people taking a vacation to Nuremberg just to watch!
It’s gotta be great entertainment, and will no doubt be a great comment on the stupidity of dishonoring the motherland, just so those Jews can be paid more.
Since when did those Jews give you a job?
/snark off
Popularity is no measure of rectitude, and it is an even worse measure of truthfulness.
I have to compare this with the “Cheaters” show in where the host of the show actually got stabbed during one episode.
People watch “Cheaters” for fights, NASCAR for the wrecks, and now this show for the shootings.
Morally corrupt show idea, but people will watch it.
Our Television entertainment has a common denominator: True/Reality TV is easier to cast, shoot, and produce than good entertaining television that needs writers. I guess one could blame the Writer’s strike on today’s Reality junk TV explosion, but they’d be wrong.
Stop watching it and they’ll stop making it.
#15, Alphie, the Quaalude Queen,
Queenie,
Just as the liberal loons mainstreamed homosexual marriage, abortion, teenage sex, and mocking of religion…now FOX can mainstream the principles found in the Bill of Rights and Constitution, and show how these became an entrepreneurial paradise resulting in small buisness [sic] that employ, elevate, enrich, more than 60% of the population…and how socialism…over regulation, rip off taxation, destroys wealth and impoverishes the poor employed by these small buisness [sic] Obama is killing.
WOW, talk about a run on sentence. As the case with most poorly crafted run on sentences, you totally lost your audience.
And didn’t you try to convince us that you run a business and you can’t even spell the damned word. Slow down, take another ‘lude, relax, get your thoughts together, and write SLOWLY. Then read over what you wrote and delete it.
