Bad doesn't cut it at Fox. It needs to be TERRIFYINGLY, HORRIFYINGLY, EVERYONE'S GONNA DIE TOMORROW kinda situation otherwise it doesn't resonate with Fox's audience.

Oh, wait. I guess I'm not sure when because short of rolling heads, it all already happened.

Just remember that the French authorities stopped following the two brothers because there are many jihadists in France. That says a lot about the situation there.

Oh, don't take this as an endorsement of CNN.
meazza Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Oh, don't take this as an endorsement of CNN. I'm not taking anything as an endorsement of CNN but although FOX does exagerate just like every other biased media outlet, this is not to white wash the fact that there is a major problem in European cities and I get that it's anectodal, it's still accurate.

The absolute irony of G.T. eagerly overstating what occurred, to claim that Fox routinely overstates its stories .....................lol
3rdnlng Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Oh, don't take this as an endorsement of CNN. Would one take it that you then feel basically all of the news sources tend to sensationalize their reporting and commentary? Edited January 20, 2015 by 3rdnlng
Deranged Rhino Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Would one take it that you then feel basically all of the news sources tend to sensationalize their reporting and commentary? Without question. Some more egregiously that others, but the media is a mess across the political spectrum.

Anarchy in the Heartland? The truly stupid thing is that anyone would take Fox seriously.
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Anarchy in the Heartland? That was a great Sex Pistols song.
Dante Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I think there are between 5 and 6 million muslims in France now. For a country that is so uppity and protective about it's culture and history they sure do seem eager to lose it. Just like they lose at everything else.
Ozymandius Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 So wait, the no go zones exist, but Fox basically just didn't accurately place them on a map? That's still pretty crappy reporting, true, but big picture, France is still effed.
Alaska Darin Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I have zero doubt the French will eventually retreat from their stance on this matter.
BillsFanM.D. Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Without question. Some more egregiously that others, but the media country is a mess across the political spectrum. fixed. Forget the right and left news agencies. Talk to some of the bozos out there that vote. That's the very definition of egregious.
Wacka Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) There are no-go zones for me on the east side of buffalo. Edited January 21, 2015 by Wacka
Nanker Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 There are no-go zones for me on the east side of buffalo. Hell, the bathroom is a no-go zone for me when my son comes to visit.
3rdnlng Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Without question. Some more egregiously that others, but the media is a mess across the political spectrum. Then in reality this isn't just about Fox but should be a condemnation of all the media sources. Singling out Fox while not condemning them all for their egregious behavior would give one the perception that you have a bias directed towards Fox. By now, we all should know that you are above such trivial pursuits. To suggest that there might be "no-go" zones in major cities based on the makeup of the population is not only politically incorrect, but in this instance smacks of anti-muslimism. It makes me feel ashamed that I once feared for my life after making a wrong turn into Camden, NJ.
KD in CA Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Oh, don't take this as an endorsement of CNN. Yet it seems these threads only exist regarding Fox and not the equally pathetic CNN or MSNBC. Other than election night or when a space shuttle blows up, I really can't imagine watching any of them. p.s. I also don't see how anyone could think this reflects worse on Fox than on Paris.
