    In fairness, the Fox news presenter's face showed disbelief at the person spewing the rubbish.

    faux news is good for ditzy blondes in low cut tops with names like Suzyanne Appletown, or clean cut young upstanding broadcasters with names like Trent Steelberg.

    and maybe some good aircraft carrier footage. or briefings that make you think you're playing command and conquer. but thats all.


    its not news.

    Also, RT is like a less cartoon version but more ridiculous in its agenda of how people in Europe and the US a destined for imminent doom....for the last number of years now.

    In fairness though Fox and RT do provide many hours of entertainment.

    I would love to see the joining of Fox News and RT. Propaganda, propaganda everywhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Wasn't there some study done where they found that Fox news viewers were less informed?

    That's not a look of disbelief.

    She went on to ask more questions about it and accepted what he said.

    I liked the way he apologised to "the beautiful city of Birmingham", but not it's Muslim civilians :pac: Although to be fair it's a bit of a kip.

    Fox news is great! Very informative and entertaining! Beats boring old sky any day of the week, except Thursdays.

    Fox is a good antidote to liberal God hating America hating Americans.

    Really? It looked to me as if she was trying to figure out what a "UK" was.

    Do you genuinely think she knew any better?

    Does Alan Partridge know about this?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 651 ✭✭✭AboutaWeekAgo


    Fox is run by the same crowd that make The Onion right?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 56 ✭✭Yiikes


    Ive the Fox News App on my phone to read their science section. Good for the laughs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard


    Meh

    Fox, RT, Sky, CNN, TheJournal,


    They are the same, spouting sh*te stirring, click baiting crap, pandering to a particular audience or agenda.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,083 ✭✭✭Iranoutofideas


    Fox News is just that bit more obvious in the propaganda it spews. CNBC, CNN, SKY...**** they are all just feeding the masses their daily dose of bull****.

    Even supposedly reputable outlets like BBC and The New York Times get caught out time and time again.

    Some motorists in America are very passionate about their views on the news.

    He apologized to every citizen of Birmingham

    I need to pop into town in the next few days. Do I have to convert?


    Allahu Akbar.

    The only good thing about fox is a bunch of hottie news readers.

    All look the same

    The O'Reilly Factor is their most popular programme, I believe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭irish coldplayer


    Fox News median viewer age is now an astonishing 68, for O Reilly;s show its 72.

    http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/01/half-of-fox-news-viewers-are-68-and-older/283385/

    With a bit of luck as the viewers die off so will the network

    A daily dose of ignorance with a liberal sprinkling of the usual trigger words like terra, attack, alert, imminent, watchlist ect. I suppose somebody has to keep the Fearometer firmly in the red.

    According to experts on fox Birmingham is a no go area for non Muslims and is patrolled by religious police to enforce sharia law.
    http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jan/11/fox-news-steven-emerson-birmingham-muslims?CMP=fb_gu

    "By the 1970s there were only a handful of white men left living in Birmingham. They were dubbed The Birmingham 6."
    :pac:

    Is the fool actually going to come out on FoxNews and say he's full of sh1t or will he just print some miniscule retraction in 2 point font on his website? The latter most likely leaving millions of cretins who watch Fox News to believe his crap. They're in the diner right now wolfing down meatloaf and pedigree-chum smelling gravy and yapping about Birmingham's Virtue Police.

    Yes, it's now called the 'Kabul ring' apparently...
