Roland: So does Apple's little gizmo mean the end of free news? This reporter is skeptical, Brian! Voice: I dunno, Roland. I'm having an "uh-oh" moment... Roland: Why? How does it affect television news? Voice: We get all our stories from newspapers. Roland: Damn... you're right. We'll have to pay for them now! CURSE you, Steve Jobs! Voice: Rollie, could you snag us a free tablet?

Fox viewership is way up since all the Independents have been flocking there, and they’re rolling in the dough. They hardly need freebies.
Besides, if the new gizmo works out well, it’ll be CNBC who will claim the unfairness that only white male metrosexuals will be able to afford it. It’s discrimination! Every other civilized nation provides free nationalized Ipodage to it’s people as a basic human right. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need for an iPad.

“The only people who listen to Fox are mindless drones who can only serve society by working for the rest of us as slaves. ”
Actually, I believe you. I think our president believes it, too. Isn’t that what redistrubution of wealth (in the form of Obamacare, Cap and Trade, and the Stimulus Bill) are all about ?
