Why I don't like Fox News

[chipotle]

Quoted from Scot Hacker's blog:

Protests clog NY, Philly, Washington. In San Francisco more than 1000 are arrested. Fox brushes up against this news, does all it can not to treat it with revulsion. I mean with Shock and Awe. How can anyone protest at a time like this?, the reporter asks. Our boys are halfway across the world at risk of dying to protect our very right to protest, and they're protesting? The irony is thick like chemical weapons gas, the reporter nearly coughs. Fox puts convicted war criminal Oliver North in the field as a reporter--that's what credibility is all about. 16 die in a helicopter crash--12 brits and a 4 yanks. Or so I hear on CNN. When Fox does the same story a few minutes later, they tell us that four people have died. If you're not American your life isn't worth prime-time mention. The info graphic tells me the cruising speed and gas mileage of the Abrams tank and I feel informed.

Remember, kids, the Liberal Media™ is biased--Fox is there to set things right for us!

EuroNews on Sky Television is really good. They run a reel called 'no comment' which is just that, a series of snapshots. One made me upset, when they showed the Iraqi home guard, some sweet old men dressed in smartly pressed blue uniforms, each in their sixties of seventies and absolutely no contest against Western troops. I thought about my grandfather.
