FOX News is Fucked
Edited on Fri May-21-04 03:36 AM by Cronus
I watched their entire 10 O'Clock broadcast tonight. Other channels were showing the war victims, the marriage party thing, the torture, new abuse pics, etc.

Fox was showing an hour long "Good News" report about a Christian Fellowship arrangement with good Jews and Christians doing home makeovers for poor folks, exactly like a free infomercial, complete with numbers to call, a pitch to join up, shots of caring people doing caring things through their churches to church people.

Flip back to the other news, kids funerals, Chalabi spitting venom through girtty teeth in a grimace saying "We thank Bush for what he did but it's time for the United States to leave Iraq," looking just like he would shove a broom handle up Bush's butt if he got the chance.

Back to Fox. An interview with a child saying how nice and rewarding it is to do things for other people for nothing. And a promo for tomorrow nights "News", a report on how to remain abstinent and the succeess of a Christian group.

They're going to lose their base of bloodthirsty, ignorant, semi-literate neanderthal males. And I think that's a good thing, so more power to you Fox, keep up with the religious programming and you'll be nipping at the heels of the 700 Club in no time.

5. I don't think there was a link
He was discussing what he saw on television. I'm pretty sure he wasn't discussing a print or net article.

2. Scary stuff...
A glimpse of the NeoCon future of the country if they retain control. Sanitized "good news" promoting Christianity while reality is shielded from the masses. They'll probably increase this kind of "reporting" heading into November.

3. I'm moving this thread to General Discussion
Looks like this could be a fine General Discussion or Media thread, but it isn't Latest Breaking News, per se.

6. I'd ask if you are kidding...
...but somehow I know you aren't. So much for 24 hour news, eh? Is this a nightly occurance or just Thursday night?

7. I agree about Fox
That channel is a complete joke.

Like I've said before, I'm all for a conservative veiewpoint in the news to be truly fair and balanced, but Fox simply fabricates "facts" out of thin air.
