It’s time for our weekly peek into the minds of Fox News viewers via a glimpse at the batch of emails they have sent us – thinking that we are Fox News – this week. Our latest sampling includes, not surprisingly, a lot of emails about The Affordable Care Act, (“ObamaCare”) and even includes a misguided liberal. But we've got mail about the troops purportedly not getting fed properly, complaints there are too many Democrats on Fox and suggestions for a show. So Fox News snoops (and we know you're out there), these emails are for you.
As always, names and other identifying information have been redacted. Grammar, punctuation and spelling have been left intact.
Subject: obamacare
The population BELIEVES that the ACA federal health care website was sabotaged by you wicked conservatives.
Subject: Meals for Miliary in Afghanistan & Iraq
Could you check out the following to see if indeed this is true and, if so, bring it out?
Many of my friends have heard that our military men & women in both Afghanistan and Iraq are ONLY getting two meals a day and no HOT meal.
As a wife of a retired Army man and daughter of a Marine...I have always heard that an army is dependent upon its stomach... OUR MILITARY NEEDS SUFFICIENT MEALS & HOT MEALS TO ENABLE THEM TO BE COMBAT READY. Are we indeed trying to ‘cripple’ them in this manner? It is bad enough that our government in the past has broken treaties and promises to its citizens...but OUR military protects us and put their lives on the line daily...FEED THEM MORE THAN ENOUGH! PLEASE!
Shalom ~
Subject: Inconsistent people on Fox
Fox has too many Dems. Bob Beckel claims to be a Christian.
Please look at Romans 1-27. No Christian is for same-sex marriage or abortion.
Please do not dispute the Bible. This is far from interpretation.
GOD BLESS YOU,
This is one I wrote back to and informed the person we are not Fox.
Subject: social security fraud
Shepard Smith reported that 398 billion in frequent social security payments were paid out last year.
So, I immediately called the Social Security Office to report that My deceased Dad’s wife (name redacted)is reportedly collecting
On his social security in Mexico, as if he is still alive.
The Social Security person was not interest in taking the information; and sounded more bothered that
I was reporting it.
Then I called Congressman (name redacted) office and spoke to a female assistant: who was not interest either.
Appears protecting my tax dollars are not as important and collecting them.
Respectfully
Subject: Obama health care
Hello, why not go back and show when Obama and vise pres signed into action, and said” this is F?!=¥*” Big”
Subject: Threats From Congressman (name redacted)
I just had the most chilling exchange of messages with an assistant to Congressman (name redacted) in (place redacted). He has ignored the public outcry over the ACA for the last 6 weeks, only to announce a series of 50 minute meetings to discuss the new law with “senior citizens,” the one group NOT affected! Nevertheless, I (aged 59) showed up with about 10 others, most appearing well over 65, and the entire room was very hostile to (Congressman)
(Congressman) started the meeting by saying he was aware the President may have “misspoke” when he guaranteed Americans they would not lose their plan. I pointed out that (Congressman) had made the same promise only a few weeks earlier. He denied that.
After the meeting, the following exchange with his LA followed, in which she clearly attempts to intimidate me. I found it frightening and offensive. But I am not going to be quiet about this.
Your staff is free to contact me.
Subject: Suggest you host a show
with the generals fired by the Obama administration...let’s hear what they have to say! Thank you.
Subject: Pass This Around
Hello:
I’ve been wanting someone to know at Fox News that I have an excellent individual “real” insurance policy with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Tennessee that I did not get dropped on. They sent me a letter and said that they were exempt from Obamacare and I would not be dropped. However, they said if I wanted to keep my policy, then I would have to pay the Obamacare tax penalty for not signing up with the exchange! I couldn’t believe this but I’m keeping my policy because it has only a $500,00 deductible per year and it pays 80/20. It’s not substandard!!!
No Subject
I would like to complain about a segment called “the buzz”. It is most annoying to be relaxing at the end of the evening and endure a horrific buzz sound inbetween story clips. It is dreadful please cancel the noise!!
Meals for Miliary in Afghanistan & Iraq-Forget Fox “News” take your story to the local news which is far better than these cafeteria Catholics.
social security fraud-Call the FBI and report it.
Inconsistent people on Fox-It’s an inconsistent network. Don’t watch, find another network.
Obama health care-That’s old news.
Threats From Congressman-You came in with a bad attitude and left with a bad attitude. We would have told you to take a hike, too.
Suggest you host a show-Ailes don’t take requests.
Pass This Around-Your chances of winning the lotto is greater than these frauds passing this info along to their misinformed audience.
No Subject-All of Fox “News” is dreadful. Watch another news network.
Sounds to me more like the letter-writer has issues about his “dad’s wife” (I’m guessing the woman is not the writer’s mother) and her Social Security benefits are just a small part of the matter.
