DarwiOdrade: It was good enough to put on your network, but now it sucks?

Somehow I find it hard to believe that the hosts are the ones choosing the bumper music.

Diogenes: DarwiOdrade: It was good enough to put on your network, but now it sucks?

Exactly what tripped me up, too.

I hate Gutfeld. A too old Tucker Max without the charm.

But he's sort of loud, and doesn't shy away from bad sex innuendos. Oh wait, I hate him as well.

They both have valid points, except only one is being hypocritical.

Sounds like Levine just wants his fans to know he doesn't support Fox News by proxy.

What's the problem?

Maroon 5 will perform on the network's "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" on Nov. 29 along with "The Voice" colleague Cee Lo Green and Kanye West

Wait - you're going to perform with that bastard 1%-er Kanye? Hypocrite.

Unless his fans also watched FoxNews, how would they even know?

I am not a maroon 5 fan, but I think Levine has the right to say "You may have heard my music on Fox News... just be aware that I in no way support the views of that channel" just like Tom Petty, Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen have said in the past when Republican presidential candidates used their songs. Just like if a Democratic candidate for anything used a Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper or Hank Williams Jr. song.

I live in Texas and lots of banks, hospitals, dentists offices, diners, etc. play Fox News on at least one screen.

He also has every moral right to ask them to stop. Fox News has no compulsion to stop, but Levine has every right to request that they do.

jake_lex: Ahh, Red Eye. A nightly reminder of why conservative "comedy" isn't funny.

But it's sexy...



/"funk_soul_bubby is THIS big..."

Now they're subjecting their viewers to the music of Maroon 5?! Is there no limit to the depravity of Fox News?

5 people too many in Levine's mind.

It only took a handful of skinheads showing up at a Dead Kennedys show for Jello to respond with "Nazi Punks, Fark Off."

Some bands just want to make sure people know where they stand.

If they're so insignificant, as you claim, why does Fox News use their music? They use it so they can present "Red Eye" as an edgy and hip show.

And this means he can't express his displeasure over it...why? I've heard of painters complaining about how purchased paintings are displayed. They can't DO anything about it, but it doesn't mean that they can't complain.

Oh come on, that's just stupid. I don't like Maroon 5's music, but the have two multi-platinum albums and Adam Levine sings on two of the current Billboard Top Ten hits (one with Maroon 5 and one with Gym Class Heroes).

Welcome to Fark, where if more than 10 people know about a band, they are the worst thing to ever happen to their particular genre.

It's not always rainbows and butterflies; it's compromise that moves us along, guys....

One of our local AM talk stations uses "This Love" as bumper music. I've always found that funny.

Knara: I like Maroon 5 to be honest. They do neo-disco correctly.

Can't say I like the "Moves Like Jagger" stuff, but "Harder to Breathe" was a decent song.

Why does this matter? They used it. Regardless of which of their employees picked it, they're responsible for using the song to which Maroon 5 has licensing rights over.

You're just arguing for arguments sake aren't you?

Um, they likely DON'T have licensing rights over the song. That's why ASCAP was included in the headline.

So, essentially, two Fox News talking heads tweeted that the people who pick the network's bumper music suck at their jobs.

You would think that before people did these things, they'd want to chat with the artists to ensure that they had their blessing.

Seems like a lot of times, the artists had no clue that their music was being used for this purpose.

I think the point was...only a moron assumes that the bumper music signifies the band who plays said music supports the viewpoints of whatever talkie show is on. So I guess it is good that Adam straightened out the morons...

srhp29: DarwiOdrade: It was good enough to put on your network, but now it sucks?

Do you think the hosts of news shows choose the music?

The producers or executive producer chooses the music. If you look at the credits, many of the hosts actually serve as one of the producers of their shows. That way, they have a say in the content of the show.
