This is some kind of joke, right? EnFrancaisSVP 12:37, 16 June 2007 (EDT)
- Nope, it's a legit term in the political word. In the words of Rosie O'Donnell, "google it." -- AmeriCan 12:52, 16 June 2007 (EDT)
well, I'll be.... Snippy comment cheerfully withdrawn. How about some more cites, then? EnFrancaisSVP 12:54, 16 June 2007 (EDT)
Nonsense. There are only 32 Google web hits on the exact phrase "Fox Derangement Syndrome," an utterly insignificant number for a Web search. More to the point, there are no hits on Google Books, which I find to be more stable, reliable, less affected by search engine optimization, etc.

- Dpbsmith, you using the same logic that Wikipedia's users use to push their bias.
- Yes, it's what's called "logic." It's neither liberal nor conservative.
"Fox Derangement Syndrome" IS a "real" phrase...now. Bernard Goldberg even wrote about the subject in an entire chapter of his latest book. Heck, "Fox Derangement Syndrome" is the title of the chapter! -- AmeriCan 14:02, 17 June 2007 (EDT)
- Yes, and many people write many books with many chapter titles, but that doesn't make them real phrases that have made it into the language. Are you sure Goldberg didn't coin the phrase himself? Please give some evidence that it is a real phrase other than "proof by repeated assertion."
- I think you just like Goldberg's phrase and are trying to promote it. As of today it gets 33 Google hits on the web. That's utterly negligible. When it gets to a couple of thousand, which at this rate will take several years, it may deserve an article. Dpbsmith 15:07, 17 June 2007 (EDT)
