Fox News Channel

St Senan

I've only noticed today that fox news is available on ftv cards can some one else confirm this.

L1011

Been available since the reshuffle, but not to all FTV cards. Indeed it appears to be only to Pace boxes.

And my god its a load of ****e...

I lived in the States for a while and think it's a decent News channel
I have it on a panasonic dsb 50 My friend has it on an Amstrad drx200

It really should be moved to the entertainment section somewhere near the comedy channels

Or Maybe replace altogether with Aljazeera or Al Arabiya

DMC

Aljazeera will be launching its english language channel fairly soon now... lots of familiar faces from other news channels will be appearing...

And I'd rather drink a gallon of Cillit Bang with my nose held by Barry Scott, all the while Pete Doherty sticks his used syringe into my veins than watch FNC...

Quite how you can defend the rubbish they broadcast, i don't really understand.
And as for that O'Rielly clown....don't start me.

But as you said, everyone to there own madness....

Perhaps it should come with one of those notices: "No actual real people or events are depicted in the following scenes...."

Fox news is pure right wing Nazi crap and that's the truth.
Fair and balanced news :mad:

Doesnt George W Bush's cousin run the fox news channel?

Ulsterman 1690

He works for it but I dont think he actually runs it

channelsurfer

I cant seem to get it. Does it come in ftv automtically or do you have to put it in via other channels with the frequency?
Fox News Fair And balanced-- that is if your a redneck republician living in the deep south. Its funny to watch just so unbelieveable how they can seriously call themselves a balanced newschannel I have no idea..

L1011

UK FTV card and on the right boxes (possibly). Not everyone is getting it

Sky Movies 10 is also available on UK FTV cards but only if you've never had a card paired to your box. And again, not every box gets it.

Is this the same as the loop on Eurobird at 11681 V SR 27500 FEC 2/3 ? It's viewable to Sky satellite viewers.

Looking forward to Al Jazeera for a new perspective.

Fox News must be watched from time to time if only to remind yourself of the opinions of the Middle American Heartland. If (like most Irish) you tend to visit only the major cities when you go to the States, it's hard to imagine how Bush could have won the last election or just how right-wing the electorate can be. The only person I ever met in New York who vocally supported Bush was a cab-driver last year who ranted and roared that the money spent on teenage pregnancy support would be better used to build nuclear (or should that be "nuculer") bombs to drop on Iraq. And this guy was middle eastern!! Scariest cab-ride ever!!

Yes. Also on 19E and I think Nilesat - pretty much everywhere that the arabic AJ channel is.

Had to think about for two and half years to then suddenly realise, hey he's criticising my favourite news channel.

Not so much bizarre, as short on the absolute truth.

The channel is full of racists, homophobes, white supremacists and partake in the most reprehensible form of gutter journalism imaginable.

I could go on, but I should mention that they distort the facts, and misreport the news, all to serve their Republican masters.

When their ratings go down, more skin is shown. It's a proven trend.
