Lol Fox News, you so funny.

I dislike Fox News immensely. Many of my friends swear by them, even my husband to an extent, but I pretty much loathe them.

Why is Eric not in this thread blasting them for doing this and calling for firings and the like?

You won't find me defending them, but the idiot that made that comment isn't a Fox News Employee so it's hard to campaign to fire him.

Fox ran with it. Multiple times. 

 

My point remains, in your other thread I asked you if you hold right wing media to task as well and you said yes. This is literally the same thing just with right wingers and muslims.

Yes they should be blasted, which they are being blasted. I'm not defending them? They look extremely stupid and it's not something new for Fox News either, I didn't see the segment wasn't it on O'Rielly's show?

Fair enough

 

I couldn't tell you off the top of my head. I do my best to avoid MSNBC, CNN and Fox at all costs.

Dish had suspended Fox News for the last couple of months I think I just noticed it was on last night when I was surfing for the SOTU, I caught the end of O'Rielly and he was talking about it so I'm assuming it was on his show.

No, it wasn't on one of their many "editorial" broadcasts. They reported it as actual news. Like real life stuff that is actually happening. But of course it isn't. So they had to make some very rare on-air apologies.

I saw they where getting sued, I wonder how does that work. Is there an international court that would hear the case, or are they using a French Court, American Court?

I'm more interested in the legal conundrum of whether an entire city can be the victim of defamation.

Maybe through some kind of class action suit? I'm not a lawyer so it's beyond me.

In addition, the apology that I am aware of was on a saturday broadcast while they blasted the lies throughout the week in primetime. I'd wager a very high percentage of fox viewers are not even aware of the retraction. The whole thing was calculated.

In fairness what retraction isn't hidden at the bottom of the last page?

Truth

Stupid Fox News, talking about those false "No-Go" zones that NO OTHER media outlet ever ever ever talked about.

 

Well...except for CNN.

I guess that makes it ok then?

 

Both of these networks are a joke. The difference is most non right wingers don't try to defend the poop show that is CNN.

Clearly you don't spend much time on Lefty websites like DailyKos then.
