12.07.10 | ok everyone who says 'fuck fox' needs to shut up. |

12.07.10 | ^^^Agreed. Fox needs to learn their place, flaunting their bs... |

12.07.10 | including you, whoever follows up my comment with 'fuck fox' |

12.07.10 | Fox has such good programming sometimes but a lot of it is total bull. And I will always hate them for cutting Arrested Development, that show was so clever. |
sniper
12.07.10 | NBC rules harder though. I mean in general,
fuck fox. |

12.07.10 | "Fox has such good programming sometimes but a lot of it is total bull."
fair.
"And I will always hate them for cutting Arrested Development, that show was so clever."
unfair.

12.07.10 | "And I will always hate them for cutting Arrested Development, that show was so clever."
One of the worst moments in Television history. |
sniper
12.07.10 | How is that unfair?
And which was a bad moment, the show, or the cutting of the show? |
LegendofPittman
12.07.10 | The cutting of the show. |
theacademy
12.07.10 | you mean how fox picked up a show from an unknown writer with no stars attached, solely on the word of ron howard, slotted it in its best timeslot for a comedy, and kept it for THREE FUCKING SEASONS when (numerically) it should have been cancelled after the first?
i blame all you fuckers who didnt watch it live when I was telling you to. |
rickywong
12.07.10 | you will burn |

12.07.10 | They could have moved it to one of their affiliated smaller networks or something. I'm not expressing rage at Fox really, it's more just that it sucks that good things fail. |

12.07.10 | i don't mean to make an example of you i just have seen the 'FUCK FOX' argument a million times.
just because a man with an agenda runs an empire doesn't mean every facet of that empire has the same agenda. |

ConsiderPhlebas
12.07.10 | Murdoch's son called the BBC a sinister organisation, which seemed a little ironic. We don't get Fox news etc over here but the tabloids are all Fox, constantly pressing a political agenda down the throats of the uneducated. |
LegendofPittman
12.07.10 | Fox is the only thing people watch where I live, so I'll sit down occasionally and check it out. They CAN have their moments, but they seriously look for the smallest things possible to criticize Obama. |
fr33convict
12.07.10 | Obama's pretty cool |
ConsiderPhlebas
12.07.10 | The clips I've seen of the news are pretty shocking. Not big on the old unbiased journalism thing. |
theacademy
12.07.10 | where the fuck do both of you live?
i haven't heard obama's name mentioned on my local fox affiliate since he was elected. |
eternium
12.07.10 | Fox IS the political agenda for the conservatives. The company (News Corp) has directly given money to the Republican Party, which no other major news source does. |
eternium
12.07.10 | Talking about Fox News bro. |
theacademy
12.07.10 | you mean NEWS CORP has a political agenda. Not Fox. |
LegendofPittman
12.07.10 | "where the fuck do both of you live?"
I live in the south. Fox actually tried to say that the president shouldn't be listening to Hip-Hop... wth? |
ConsiderPhlebas
12.07.10 | England. They don't knock obama here, they just explicitly tell people who to vote for every election. |
eternium
12.07.10 | Fox is owned by News Corp. |
theacademy
12.07.10 | yeah... you really think i don't know that? especially after i wrote:

eternium
12.07.10 | You ever watch Fox News bro? |
ConsiderPhlebas
12.07.10 | The point is they have an agenda, it doesn't matter who provides it. Journalism should be unbiased, in theory. |
theacademy
12.07.10 | "You ever watch Fox News bro?"
no, because i'm not a fucking idiot. i do watch clips of them lampooned on the daily show. |
theacademy
12.07.10 | @phleb are you talking about Sky networks? (sorry im just trying to familiarize myself) |
eternium
12.07.10 | Unbiased journalism is boring as hell and journalists should do their part to help the country too. However, journalism should not be a tool used to hide myth as fact and basically brainwash viewers.
Watching Fox News doesn't make you a fucking idiot unless that's ALL you watch (news wise). I watch it sometimes just to see wtf they're saying now and for laughs. |
theacademy
12.07.10 | "The point is they have an agenda, it doesn't matter who provides it. Journalism should be unbiased, in theory."
idk if this was responding to me but I think we may be talking about two different entities.
"Unbiased journalism is boring as hell and journalists should do their part to help the country too. However, journalism should not be a tool used to hide myth as fact and basically brainwash viewers."

ConsiderPhlebas
12.07.10 | No, I don't have Sky. Most of the tabloid newspapers over here are owned by Murdoch, the most popular being The Sun. Whoever they back in an election wins by a landslide, been that way for years. This election the effect was dampened a little because the print press is dying, due to the net. They still got the Conservatives in, though, just. Not many remember it but when Blair won that first time, the first thing he did was fly to America and spend a weekend with Murdoch. It was all over the bbc, every other facet of the media ignored it. I've seen a lot of fox news interviews, though; some pretty disturbing ones. |
PuddlesPuddles
12.07.10 | FOX = Faggots on Xylophone.
Wait that's NBC... |
theacademy
12.07.10 | oh yea, see, that's really lame and shitty.
but it also has little to do with fox in this context. |
ConsiderPhlebas
12.07.10 | 'Unbiased journalism is boring as hell and journalists should do their part to help the country too. However, journalism should not be a tool used to hide myth as fact and basically brainwash viewers.'
I've never thought of the news as a form of entertainment. I watch it because I want to know what's happening in the world, not what someone thinks I should know. Unbiased journalism doesn't help anyone's country, it just masks what those journalists or their bosses want to be masked.

ZBJE
12.07.10 | @theacademy It didn't change him really, nor did it change the show. I feel like some episodes of the last 2 seasons were the best |
theacademy
12.07.10 | yeah that's the problem with arguing w/ eternium.
none of this is about journalism. this started w/ a discussion of house and arrested development. FOX doesn't operate on a journalism platform. it's a tv channel... content intended to entertain. |
theacademy
12.07.10 | Fox News: (supposedly) journalism |
theacademy
12.07.10 | @ZBJ -> i still watch it. there have been a few good ones, but it feels stale this season. first few episodes in the institution were great. |
ConsiderPhlebas
12.07.10 | Well, I agree that it's not really journalism, the agenda is too overt, but from what I've read and seen isn't it one of the most popular sources of news in the US? |
eternium
12.07.10 | I mean completely unbiased journalism, like what's on PBS. I for one think that the major news networks get too sucked into the gossip instead of just stating the facts. That's how shit like "OBAMA'S A KEYAN" and "OBAMACARE IS GOING TO KILL YOU" gets started. |
theacademy
12.07.10 | yes, it is, although not where I live. |
ConsiderPhlebas
12.07.10 | Random fact for ya, don't know if any of you know this, but if you type 'is obama' into google the first two suggestions are 'is obama a muslim' and 'is obama the antichrist'. |
eternium
12.07.10 | "but from what I've read and seen isn't it one of the most popular sources of news in the US?"
By far the news channel with the most viewers. Sadly. I think it's because so many conservatives are scared and thus glued to it. Also that old white people are who watch the news the most and those people are mostly conservatives too. |
theacademy
12.07.10 | Still though, Fox television built itself up on an extremely liberal platform, always focusing on the 18-49 demographics. It put the edgiest programming/personalities on the air, and until a few years ago (in my opinion) offered the most diverse lineup of programming... |
eternium
12.07.10 | The network channel is alright. Some good shows on it. Some horrible shit (American Idol, etc.) |
theacademy
12.07.10 | ok so the moral of the story: 'Fuck Fox' = inappropriate, if you really mean to say 'Fuck Fox News' or 'Fuck News Corp.'
|
Spec
12.07.10 | I have never followed a show... ever! |
