Here, for your voyeuristic pleasure, is our weekly peek into the minds of Fox News fans. Maybe it's just me but it seems that this batch of emails meant for Fox News, but inexplicably sent to us, is crazier than ever. This week, we've got complaints about drones in Florida, Judge Judy not in New Jersey and Megyn Kelly's upcoming prime time. Plus, an accusation that the left wing is responsible for someone's poor Fox News reception. All that and more after the jump.
As always, names and other identifying information have been redacted to protect the ignorant. Grammar, spelling and punctuation have been left intact.

Subject: left wing
I think that the left wing is messing with the broadcast. It is the only channel that is having problems. Wouldn’t put it past them. Just saying,

Subject: A writer with a question
Hello
My name is (redacted) and I was granted a wonderful opportunity. I am a writer and was finally published after writing for most of my life and never being recognized. My book will probably be available in December of this year. It is a children's book that looks at bullying and feeling different or unwanted and later becoming someone very important and admired. It is a fairytale that many children and teens can identify with and will encourage them to believe in themselves even if it has been difficult for many years.
I was born and raised in the Bronx and I love my city with all my heart. Is it possible to promote my book on your show? It would be awesome if I am given the opportunity to promote it on the show that I love to watch, which has also been a dream for me.
Thank you

Subject: Is this an email to just let you know
Or complain too?
FYI. (redacted city in Florida)
Called local news re a mini drone over me and a neighbor while I was walking around 6-7pm last night.I thought it was bees until I looked up. Hovered a bit then headed off in the distance
Creepy
Local news here said. Oh yeah they manufacture them here. Very creepy. Felt invasion of our privacy to some degree. I checked online then and it did say (redacted city) does have a manufacturing co with no name on the bldg but not sure where it is eitherMy camera on my phone wouldn't pick it up so at least I alerted my neighbor so someone else saw it
Have a nice day
Could you pls let me know if this is the actual FOX and Friends that I watch 24/7
I've emailed before but no response unless we're not to receive one?
Thank you for listening
I’m guessing this guy thought he was writing to a local Fox affiliate on 8/8/13 since, as far as I know, Judge Judy is on Fox News but…

Subject: Megyn Kelly Set to Replace Sean Hannity on Fox Prime-Time?????????????????????? You MUST BE kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gentlemen,
Is it true? I just heard that someone has decided to replace Sean with Megyn? Really????? When did that become a good idea?
I don’t have anything against Kelly; so you believe that she will bring the relationships and personalities that Sean delivers each and every night at 9pm? I sincerely doubt it. She simply doesn’t have that kind of horse power.
In terms of programming, supporting the Constitution of the United States and defending the bill of rights and bringing controversial guests to the forefront of current fundamental events Sean does more for accidentally than Megyn could ever do on purpose!
I suspect that broadcast news back rooms are as crazy as the roller coaster Obama has us on!
But this smacks of politics…..it sure looks a lot like NBC dumping #1 rated Leno for what’s his name…
So let’s see, “Mrs. Super-star” has two kids being raised by someone else and now has just had another and rather than stay home and be a mother to her new-born son Thatcher instead she is going the way of so many other over-achievers, drop the kid, take the appropriate MINIMUM amount of time off (Hitting the gym 10 times per week to be certain to keep her ratings up……) and then hustle back to leverage her contract and whatever other dirt she has on people to take over Sean’s’ slot!!!! …or is this simply a matter of don’t get between where Megyn is and where she is going?
Very bad idea! No it isn’t a bad idea it is a terrible idea!
To be fair and balanced:
She has a good screen presence and to her credit a, former lawyer for Experian Credit? (boy now there’s some heavy lifting),worked FNC since 2004, covered the 2012 Elections no big deal there and Kelly's "America Live" program has been up 20% in total viewers, averaging 1,293,000 and up 4% in the 25–54 demographic averaging 268,000……. keep in mind her slot is day time,1pm to 3pm which is a much different market from those of us that seek the meat and potatoes realities that Hannity has consistently delivered for how many years?
She pales in comparison to Sean Hannity. So more eye-candy over substance great…..
My father used to tell me, “son if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, sound familiar?
Please don’t this.

Subject: Protect yourself at gas pump
In regards to your recent segment; I have my car door locks set so
only the driver's door unlocks. Press the fob button twice and all
the other doors unlock. I had the dealer set my control but it is is
in the car manual.
