A quick thought on FOX

posted by DEVINTROY

Just some quick thoughts on FOX's mention of Canada.

First I will admit I don't know the whole story on this, however from what I have heard i'm unimpressed by FOX news. It was said on one of our canadian news stations CTV that FOX news was mentioned as saying our canadian troops serving in Afghanistan only wanted to go to do yoga and get a free workout. Basically implying we canadians aren't holding our own in the war,from what I can see. On that thought I would just like to be able to inform FOX that our soldiers have been doing there part greatly. I know because some of them come home in boxes. We have had a great many soldiers die in Afghanistan. One such soldier lived close to where I am from. It saddens me to think a news group such as FOX is able to joke about such a serious issue yet not one of them are over there doing there part. I agree i'm one to talk,however i'm also not on a "biased" news channel calling our soldiers free loaders either. I just found the whole thing demeaning to our brave men and women that each day sacrafice themselves for not just our country but the world. I'm already against FOX,however never more so than I am now. Just wanted to give my piece on this offensive issue.

Don't waste your energy. (none / 1)
FoxNewsChannel has slandered OUR soldiers as well.  Anyone that fought in Iraq or Afghanistan and spoke out against the War, Bush, any part of his administration, or anything else that undermines Republicans got attacked by Fox.  And don't run for public office as a Democrat, they'll really maul you.  So, in short, don't waste your time wondering why Fox would attack your soldiers, they do it to ours as well.

Always remember that the outlet you (none / 1)
refer to is the Faux Noise network.

Dont worry (none / 0)
Most people understand that Fox is not a news channel.

Also remember that thier audience is made up of mainly people on the right (they admitted this about a poll they said was factual)
so thay are preaching to the converted and having little impact.
The rely on a media ripple-through to get their propaganda out to the people.

Fox never gets the facts right (none / 1)
I've heared somewhere else that Canadaian troops had the most casualties in Afghanistan, related to their numbers. Fox News is probably unaware of the fact that dying and being wounded is not a part of yoga.

Red Eye Pulled? maybe (none / 0)

from News Hounds "I don't want to read too much into this because it could easily be a mistake (especially given how awful the FOXNews.com website is) but Red Eye, the show that caused a furor by tastelessly mocking the Canadian military, just happens not to be listed on tonight's schedule, They've listed War Stories with Oliver North at that time (3 AM), instead."

Would that be the same Oliver North ... (none / 0)
who sold weapons to Iran to fund terrorists in Central America ?  If so why isn't HE in Guantánamo, or at least had his assets siezed and bank accounts frozen ?  A known terrorist supporter, sounds like a dangerous guy to me, maybe FOX is going to turn him in live on TV !

You're Welcome America. A Final Night With George W. Bush ?

You should REALLY check that out.

Greg Guttfeld just offered a sincere apology to Canada. I'm not kidding. They must have caught hell from Canadians.

"Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld" on the Fox News Channel must be boycotted or taken off the air. Its sexist, misogynist, homophobic, racist, speciesist and self-hating host must be maimed, lynched and/or killed.

You are off message (none / 0)
You are supposed to be posting about the grand unified conspiracy theory of Obama chaos, which was enacted to enable government control of everything.

If you dont get enough replies. You could try "mob rule".

Of course because Limbaugh,  Hannity, Beck, and Malkin are all echoing the same memo Bobo! already parroted it . But its worth a try.

Obama's Shock Doctrine (none / 0)
You are supposed to be posting about the grand unified conspiracy theory of Obama chaos, which was enacted to enable government control of everything.

Obama wants government to set wages and bonuses, deliver health care and even regulate the carbon dioxide we exhale. Is there any sector of the economy Obama does not want to control?

I don't think Obama is intentionally exacerbating chaotic conditions, he is just flailing about in his very first executive position, and the on the job training is much more difficult than he expected.
