FOX News Got Served!

by **Phatscotty** on Sat Jan 10, 2015 3:10 pm

The Quantum Leap Exhibit Program at Mount Anthony Union High School in Bennington, Vermont took a good look at FOX News and put FNC up against the published Ethics of Journalism per the Society of Professional Journalists. See how FOX News failed miserably at practicing journalism on every level.

I remember actually liking FOX News 10 to 15 years ago. Now it makes me ill. Almost the same nausea overcomes me when I try to watch MSNBC. CNN is in the "Goldie Locks zone"...maybe a tad bit left than I like, but it's really the closest thing America has to impartial journalism.

They are being unmercifully mocked in the UK atm after their ludicrous statements on Birmingham (the British one).

Bravo!

Though from a bit of research I understand "Watter's World" to be a kind of comedy section in what is not really "hardline" news (its more social commentary from the looks). However social commentary that affects the viewer base (through modification of perceptions or whatever) should still be held to the same high standard as any other news, especially when it's on a news channel.

Fox news has hot news anchors. That's it.

I feel pretty much the same way, except about CNN. A bit more than a tad on CNN though. Anything will look closer to the center when it's compared to the other two. When CNN veers, it's at the right time and the right place and just enough to seal a herded mainstream perspective, the splinter in the mind's eye.

Just as Mike Huckabee was the wielder in 2007-2008 (Iowa robo-calls), 2012 it was CNN's turn to thrust the blade. You may remember, Symmetry brought it up everyday for about a month straight. Actually, that's a pretty good nickname for this kind of tactic. On CNN, 'Ron Paul got hardcore symmed, no lube.' And then, everyone else picked up on it and reported about it, including FOX news, and then all of a sudden it didn't matter if it was true or not, the splinter was there.

It's why CNN has the Eye now, and FOX doesn't.

I thought this article was in relation to this too:

http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/j ... ity-claims

"In Britain, it’s not just no-go zones, there are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in.

And, parts of London, there are actually Muslim religious police that actually beat and actually wound seriously anyone who doesn’t dress according to religious Muslim attire."

Lolz

Reported. It's a crime to deface currency.

by **warmonger1981** on Tue Jan 13, 2015 2:28 pm

Correction, its a crime to deface currency and try to spend it. I was at the Crazy Horse Monument gift shop and they were selling quarters and cent pieces that were lazer cut outs. They had a small sign saying why its not illegal. Does it have anything to do with being on an Indian reserve?

by **DaGip** on Tue Jan 13, 2015 5:45 pm

OMG! I love Indian reserves on toast!

Is the point of the thread: "all news is bias shite"?

In a week where Fox News is being roundly mocked for hosting a “terror expert” who claimed Birmingham is a Muslim-only city – we bring you this spectacular rant by Jeanine Pirro.

Pirro, a former prosecutor and judge, opened her segment on Saturday with her thoughts on radical Islamists – specifically: “We need to kill them. We need to kill them. The radical Muslim terrorists hell bent on killing us.”

Accompanied by an image of Muslim police officer Ahmed Merabet being shot dead in the aftermath of the Paris Charlie Hebdo attacks, Pirro added: “You’re in danger, I’m in danger. We’re at war. And this is not going to stop.

“After this week’s brutal terror attacks in France hopefully everybody now gets it. And there’s only one group that can stop this war. The Muslims themselves.

"Our job is to arm those Muslims to the teeth and give them everything they need to take out these Islamic fanatics, let them do the job, and when they do, we need to simply… look the other way.”

Pirro continued her fear-mongering tirade: “Now I’ve been telling you for a year that they’re coming for us, that there is a reverse crusade in progress, a Christian genocide.

“As this Islamic cancer metastasises throughout the world, Boko Haram in Nigeria, Al Shabab in Somalia, Ansar Al Sharia in Libya, Al Qaeda, ISIS, and as it goes through Europe it is headed our way.”

Not the point here, no.. In an unorthodoxed way, kinda close.

I figured it out the first time through the video, had to go through and double check it was there.

It's there

Here is verbiage from the law: "Whoever fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes,
falsifies, scales, or lightens....blah blah blah".

The key is the word Fraudulently.....that implies you then try to pass the money as tender AFTER altering it....if you alter it simply for art, jewelry, whatever, it is just wasting money and NOT illegal. Like all those penny squashing machines you see at touristy locales.......and these super cool rings (I'm gonna get one to replace my worn out boring wedding ring):
