Frank C. on Aaron James

Wow, I just looked at that Salon.com.  Guess I wanted to raise my blood pressure.  This Aaron James, he's a piece of work.  Says that Fox News has spawned a whole generation of self-entitled feeling narcissists.  So the Occupy creeps were inspired by Fox?  He points out an incident where an economist called Pugsley an asshole because, according to James, he changed the subject without a metaconversation.  My ex-wife, she didn't know a metaconversation from a carburetor, but fortunately, she never needed that word to be pissed about my changing the conversation.  He insults Bill O'Reilly, which puts him on par with every other wanker on Salon.com.  And then, get this, he starts talking about Kanye West.  What, are you telling me Kanye West takes his behavior from Fox News?  I mean, the guy probably wouldn't be caught dead watching anything that right wing.  Oh brother!  If I was talking to Aaron in my kitchen, I'd say to him, "Buddy, I know that you spent a lot of money on that literary theory degree.  But people ain't assholes because of Fox News.  I'm sure your dad was an asshole years before there was a Fox News.  I get it.  You associate all your personal anger with your political opponents.  It wasn't until the 90s I realized that Jimmy Carter wasn't the reason my life sucked in 1977.  So, someday you'll realize that the guys on Fox don't have much control over their own lives, let alone your's."  Maybe then Aaron could try to take charge over his own life, instead of blaming his problems on Roger Ailes.
