In reply to DianaCancer:
The actor released a statement bashing the network, which has criticized his spoof anti-gun video all week, as "a last resort for kinda-sorta-almost-journalists."
Jim Carrey has returned Fox News' fire.
The veteran comic actor released a video this week through Funny or Die in which he mocked the NRA and its late leader, Charlton Heston, as gun addicts compensating for small anatomies. The video included a country song he sang called "Cold Dead Hand," a shot at Heston's famous quote about protecting his right to a firearm.

Ever since, he has been slammed by Fox News hosts and other right-leaning outlets; Fox's Greg Gutfeld called Carrey "the most pathetic tool on the face of the earth," adding, "I hope his career is dead."

Carrey released the following statement Friday:
Since I released my "Cold Dead Hand" video on Funny or Die this week, I have watched Fux News rant, rave, bare its fangs and viciously slander me because of my stand against large magazines and assault rifles. I would take them to task legally if I felt they were worth my time or that anyone with a brain in their head could actually fall for such irresponsible buffoonery. That would gain them far too much attention which is all they really care about.
I'll just say this: in my opinion Fux News is a last resort for kinda-sorta-almost-journalists whose options have been severely limited by their extreme and intolerant views; a media colostomy bag that has begun to burst at the seams and should be emptied before it becomes a public health issue.
I sincerely believe that in time, good people will lose patience with the petty and poisonous behavior of these bullies and Fux News will be remembered as nothing more than a giant culture fart that no amount of Garlique could cure.
I wish them all the luck that accompanies such malevolence.

Who is advocating that?
If you feel that there is an equivalence between how Fox comports itself and how MSNBC does, be specific in your observations.
Otherwise, you are a one person circle jerk.
