what the fuck, everytime I turn on this channel I see the stupidiest shit. The correspondents are retards. But the hosts of the morning program, "Fox & Friends" take the cake.

This morning they are broadcasting live from London, with the program entitled, The London Bombings! One Year Later!!~!one OHNOES!

Why are these people trying to strike fear into everyone. Everytime I turn on this network I feel like they are trying to scare the shit out of me.

WTF!!

LMFAO @ Kaos....

Hell, it seems that FOX and CNN are both on the hunt to scare the shit out of people. Everyday is Halloween!
TERROR THREAT: ELEVATED! and all that shit, are just tactics used by the media by the GOP to have us in the sack!

Who was the Roman emperor who did the same thing? I'm thinking of the dude who came after Hadrian and killed his brother...

well i live in the UK not got sky so cant see fox news but on our news its all about the bombings now i can understand when the BBC report about how we are going the remember the injured/killed, i have no problem with that. but i dont need to know how kings cross station is on high alert today WTF if its that serious maybe we should be on high alert everyday. and then some stupid reporter said to the MD of the London underground what are you doing to stop terror attacks, i am sorry how does one stop a terror attack. put the MD in a right position on live tv He cant say nothing but there is nothing he really can do just be extra careful today.

sorry if my point doesn't make sense just having a bit of a rant all in all i also feel like i have been told not to use public transport, (which isn't true) its just the way the news comes across.

A quote from the great Bill Hicks, that in my mind like a lot of his quotes are still relevant today

"I don't understand anything, so there you go ... You know what my problem is? I watch too much news, man. That's my problem, that's why I'm so depressed all the time. I figured it out. I watch too much CNN, man. I don't know if you've ever sat around and watched CNN more than, I don't know, 20 hours in one day ... I don't recommend that. Watch CNN Headline News for 1 hour, it's the most depressing thing you'll ever fucking do. 'WAR, FAMINE, DEATH, AIDS, HOMELESS, RECESSION, DEPRESSION. WAR, FAMINE, DEATH, AIDS, HOMELESS ...' Then, you look out your window ... [makes cricket noises] Where's all this shit happening? Ted Turner's making this shit up! Jane Fonda won't sleep with him, he runs to a typewriter: '"By 1992, we will all die of AIDS." Read that on the air. I don't get laid, no one gets laid!' I'm writing Jane Fonda: 'Will you fuck this guy so we can get some good news, please?' I want to see a well-laid Ted Turner newscast: 'Hey, it's all going to work out. Here's sports.'"

That's every network man. It's all about the ratings. FOX is biased, CNN is biased, MSNBC is biased, they are all biased.

They are ran by humans, who have views. These producers decide what goes on the air. There is a list of stories, and they run them. Someone types up the story, another chance to slant it.

FEAR = RATINGS = AD MONEY = HAPPY EXECUTIVES

Well, I think that the "personalities" on Washington (D.C.) Fox news are especially cheesey.  I know that Fox is a national (maybe even international) entity, but I am not familiar with their broadcasts in other places.  So, that's where my comment comes from.

Having not seen it, I'm not going to comment on the program in question, but...what the hell? You think there is only one network that uses 'sensationalist fear tactics' against the public? Phtpththb.

I don't even watch TV, and I think I'm a bit better off for it.

Yeah - this is what I meant by "This thread probably means nothing to folks outside of the Washington DC area."  What darad0 and I are really commenting on is not WHAT Fox reports on, but HOW they do it.  What can I use an example that will make this clear?  So the whole news story is:

"Medical community finds cure for feline cancer in kittens."

The Fox News teaser is 

<deep ominous voice>
      "Kittens and Cancer - what YOU need to know!  Tonight at 10 on Fox."
</deep ominous voice>

Get it now?

No thats CBS, one channel that I rufuse to watch news on, they take the most dumbass stories and opinions EVER and make it seem like the end of the world. FOX is alright and I dont realy seem them doing that much. But I know I get 2 FOX channels. Fox and Fox News so Im not positive what one you are talking about there.

Whats wrong is that there are no Foxes on it, and no news either come to think of it.
So it should actually be called "                "

I like it almost as much as the Daily Show, except they aren't trying to be funny.
