Amazing how this segments assumes insulting someone leads to credibility in their defense of gun ownership.

Thirty Bills Unpaid

This was on the forum a little while back. Free speech isn't as respected as the right to have guns for some people.

But look at those poindexters and listen to their ridiculously lame jokes that they all hyuk-hyuk to. Of course they don't like Pearl Jam- they like the Deliverance soundtrack on 8-track in their Fargo pick-ups.

this news channel is very popular in the states. it is well known among viewers of news in all formats to be the most politically biased news source on television. unless you ask it's own viewers, in which case they claim the others are just as biased, gathering the laughter and derision of progressives, moderates, libertarians, even conservatives often, as they are the anti-science party who is, amazingly, still hostile to evolution.

I dont know. Foxnews is awful but msnbc is just as biased. Thats why I only watch my local news!

backseatLover12

Again? People really need to get their heads away from the fucking news stations, and the fear and control they spew.

rgambs

msnbc as biased? come on. biased? yes i'll grant that it is biased to the left, no doubt, but it is not overflowing with partisan ex-policy makers to the same degree as Fox.
and yes people need to stop watching the news altogether, it is all horseshit that falls from the same anus. there are some great news sources online but reality has a well known liberal bias, so if you want a conservative viewpoint that isn't whackadoo i don't know where you go.

The FOX stations have finally done it... they have made a ridiculous parody of themselves and broadcast it out as themselves:

From the report:

"I wasn’t going to be bribed off my story, but I understood their panic. Here, after all, was a group that included many of the executives whose firms had collectively wrecked the global economy in 2008 and 2009. And they were laughing off the entire disaster in private, as if it were a long-forgotten lark. (Or worse, sing about it — one of the last skits of the night was a self-congratulatory parody of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” called “Bailout King.”) These were activities that amounted to a gigantic middle finger to Main Street and that, if made public, could end careers and damage very public reputations."

Guerrilla reporting- I love it! This part is rather telling:

Once we made it to the lobby, Ross and Lebenthal reassured me that what I’d just seen wasn’t really a group of wealthy and powerful financiers making homophobic jokes, making light of the financial crisis, and bragging about their business conquests at Main Street’s expense. No, it was just a group of friends who came together to roast each other in a benign and self-deprecating manner. Nothing to see here.

Just read that article. No surprise here. This is after I warded off the news.

That report alone is enough script to be a movie. They all have their hands in the pot.

Thanks for the comments to this thread.

I didn't know such deep views would be drawn in.

I tune in when I can to a show in America called the daily show with Jon Stewart.

For years I have found it funny how he makes fun of reporters.

I didn't know that fox news was a nationwide program in the states.

Once any news (people) start equating problems with PJ is when my attention is drawn. After watching that segment I feel like two minutes and fifteen seconds have been taken away from my life and will never again be offered back because that station will never hear PJ.

Fox is a station, like msnbc, CBS and ABC, and is broadcasted across the nation. Fox news channel is the butt of many jokes because of their talking heads. Even if a point is valid they come across like idiots, usually. Their stance is usually trying to make a mockery of liberals, progressives, leftists or democrats. It is embarrassing really.

rgambs

yeah Fox is sad, JohnStewart wore out for me long ago, as the Fox crew doesn't need anything but a rational mind on the viewing end and it is already a parody.

So is this fox station like a comedy of sorts?

When I watched the video it seemed that the anchors were using Pearl Jam as an example not really knowing what PJ meant.

Not intentionally. As you can see they make themselves an easy target though. I'm sure there are fox news blunders on youtube. It'd be worth watching.
