Neil deGrasse Tyson has a message for all of those expecting 2012 to usher in the end of the world.

Hey did he just describe Fox News and its viewers?

Well considering that they are running headlines like this one, "Mayan apocalypse countdown: 1 month 'til doom," and this one, "Mayan Apocalypse Believers Take Refuge in French Town," and of course this one, "Will the World End on December 21?," I think perhaps he just might have been.

And THIS is the cable network that millions of people turn to for "news."

    A nice way of saying "the stupid" and "the ignorant".

    Well, on December 22nd, maybe a few more Fox viewers, who haven't already left fox after their inaccurate Romney election predictions, will find something more useful to do with their time.

    Our culture seems to dearly LOVE doomsday scenarios. :( We go from one to another. This is just the latest.

    I learned of the 2012 calendar end date directly from a Mayan Daykeeper almost 20 years ago. It is simply the end of one of their many calendars. (They have, like, 18 or something) It has significance in that - in their culture and reckoning - it ends one Age/cycle and ushers in another. The Mayans have never said it was the "literal" End of the World.

      There's a long history of that. One of the reasons Christianity gained such a strong hold was the eschatology. Everyone thought the second coming of Christ would be in THEIR lifetime.

    The gubmint is paying him to tell us this so that we remain calm and quietly go about out daily routines until That Thing happens.

    FOX News is nothing more than tabloid journalism with a political bias.

    I heard him on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me this weekend...and now I'm worried about 2036 when a giant meteor might strike the Earth. He says we should know in enough time so that no one will die...but...it seems...terrifying...

    I say it's time to end FOX's world.

    Matthew 25:13 - Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.

    Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools? Fox "News" is a joke. Look who they hired as a "contributor."
