"The heady mix of partisan hackery, character assassination, and manufactured outrage." Foxygen was coined by John Stewart on his Daily Show, May 12, 2011, as a neologism describing the kind of orchestrated disinformation that is continuously AIRed by FOX News.
"Jon Stewart again smacked Fox News for its fury over Common’s White House appearance, pointing out last night that only huffers of “Foxygen”—“the heady mix of partisan hackery, character assassination, and manufactured outrage” — would be bothered by the rapper’s performance."

Get the FOXygenmug. A heady mix of partisan hackery, character assassination, and manufactured outrage, huffed by pundits who don't interpret things the way people do.
At the poetry reading where Common was invited to the capital to deliver a message of people overcoming violence in their communities to achieve a more positive future, those news anchors whom had been reporting as though a rapper was appearing with the Obama's to shoot cops and destroy the Whitehouse, weren't breathing the same stuff as the rest of us. They had the Foxygen.

Get the Foxygenmug. Coined by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, it is the air breathed in while watching Fox News. Part oxygen, part nitrogen, part misleading facts, half truths, and right out lies. Serious brain damage can be caused by inhaling it just one time. Irrational fear of non whites and government take over are side effects of breathing this. It is more harmful than cigarettes.
Bob: Why don't you want to go into the mall?
Bill: I think I breathed in too much foxygen earlier now I'm scared of those black people and I think everyone should own a gun and masturbate daily to Ronald Reagan.

Get the Foxygenmug. Someone who believes anything said on fox news, no matter how blatantly absurd, ludicrous, insane, stupid or eventually discredited it eventually becomes.
My pal John is a great guy mostly, but he's such a foxygen breather he still believes in the "death panel" bullshit about healthcare reform.

Get the Foxygen breathermug. The heady mix of character assassination and manufactured outrage that employees are required to breathe at Fox News.
Common's performance triggered outrage from Fox News anchors who had been huffing foxygen all day long.
