l THANK YOU, MY LOCAL FOX STATION NEWS!

[Spinaroonie]

So in the big nearby city there's a building on fire. They're not sure what happened inside the building or what kind of business was run inside the building, they just know where it is and that it's zoned for commercial activity.

So they add into their report the fact that "TERRORISM HAS NOT BEEN RULED OUT"

OH THANK YOU! IF YOU HAD NOT SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE USED MY BRAIN LIKE A RATIONAL PERSON AND FIGURED THAT IT WAS ELECTRICAL OR SOMEBODY THREW A CIGARETTE IN THE TRASH BIN OR SOMETHING!

Spin, take a chill pill.

 

[modest mouse]

Caps lock is bad.

Oh wait.

 

[lavender]

Spin, you're not too far from me at this very moment.

reminds me of busybody

 

[LovetoGiveRoses]

At least they didn't say..."This fire is cause by negligence on the part of George W. Bush for not posting firefighters in each building in the city as a preventitive measure".....as many of the other networks would probably do.

Dude, to actually try to meaningfully use the terms, "News" and "FOX Station" in the same sentence you have to be citing opposites, OK? They don't do news, if you want to use concepts such as journalistic integrity, or value/worth of this story vs. others we might cover.

 

[HeavyStick]

indeed.......

'cept Spin needs a sigline that is easily confused as being part of the post.

So use your brain like a rational person and change the channel.

Oh sure, you've got hindsight to work with, he was caught up in the whole being aghast scene at the time.

I'm sure you'd find something to post, it's never stopped you before, has it?

"Weather men on television talk about "shower activity". Sounds more important than "showers". I even heard on guy on CNN talk about a 'rain event'! Swear to god he said 'Louisianna's expecting a rain event'.... I thought 'holy shit, i hope i can get tickets to that!'" - George Carlin

Amen.

 

[RobDownSouth]

spelling buddy sez: it's FAUX NEWS

 

[TWB]

I only tune into stations that don't feel the need to advertise themselves as being fair and unbiased.

 

[Ham Murabi]

Welcome to local TV affiliate news, where journalism is not a factor.

At least they didn't say..."This fire is cause by negligence on the part of George W. Bush for not posting firefighters in each building in the city as a preventitive measure".....as many of the other networks would probably do.

That is a bit overstated. George Bush would just promise that with his tax cut.

Don't you love it when it gets down to 50 and the correspondants go out and find the biggest jacket they can to wear?

Or when three flakes of snow fall they declare a blizzard?

 

[Sillyman]

Three flakes fel yesterday. We're still not sure what's behind this blizzard, but terrorism has not been ruled out. We will be bringing you more updates on Saddam's Sotrm of Frozen Death '03 as they progress.
