Subject: Re: Fox News produces it, they own it.I don't care what time of the day or number of viewers the show has,Fox stamps their name on it.
Artful Dodger: I could not disagree more.You're implying that I would find it less offensive if it was broadcast on any network other than Fox, I find that beyond rude.You don't know me personally, and I don't know you. Do I agree with the typical slant Fox projects? no, but I have pointed out countless times that I don't like slanted news period, and have given other examples such as MSNBC.
Again,I find it very offensive that you would imply that I would gladly park my feelings towards our brave men of the military dependent upon which network broadcasts the story.When this story surfaced I didn't lookat it as a left or right thing, the military is populated by people of all political backgrounds, and I'm sure all were equally offended.I was actually shocked that the source was a Fox broadcast, they usually hold the military in the highest esteem.

Jim Dandy: Well, I find it odd that you emphasized the fact that it happened on "Fox News." That line was dishonest. It didn't happen on Fox News. Some headlines got it right and were accurate about the entire story. They didn't have to resort to half-truths to make their point. You intentionally distorted the truth.

(V): Not the same Jules and you know it. Or are you suggesting that if The Simpson's cartoon show has a controversial topic on it can be blamed on Fox News? It's not Fox News, it's The Fox News Channel or simply Fox. When someone says "Fox News" they lump it all together. Hogwash. Rubbish. Nonsense. Be specific. Here are some dishonest headlines:
Fox News jokesters forced into retreat over Canadian military Fox News apologizes to Canada for troop remarks tons of these examples
And more honest: FOX News (RED EYE) Insults Canada - Blogger News Network Red Eye vs. Canada, Eh? Gutfeld Apologizes - mediabistro.com: TVNewser Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld-Invade Canada? - AOL Video Red Eye Host Forced to Apologize to Canada / Jossip Fox News Show Red Eye Mocks Canada - iReport.com
One reports dishonestly and the other honestly and accuractly.
