Is the Escapist rebranding as a political website or something?
Why do I care what deep cable Fox Business Network (not Fox News) has to say about a couple movies? That station is so insignificant that clip probably got more views from this article than when it actually aired.
I thought this website was about videogames and nerd culture not bizaro FOX NEW IS TEH DUMB politics. Strange front-page story.
I say this article and reaction is pretty pathetic. It's not gaming news. It barely qualifies as 'nerd news'. I read it because I was, myself, wondering why it made the front page. The answer is pretty obvious, though. This site just loves to hate them some Fox News. Now, most reasonable people will say, "Hey, it's some pundit on a fairly obscure cable channel. I'll just ignore his grab for attention", but since it's associated with Fox, Internet rules dictate you have free reign to whine and froth about Fox News, Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, etc. There's no discussion either, someone posts a clip of someone on Fox News getting something wrong or giving an opinion, forum erupts in people smugly reaffirming their hatred and superiority over those they disagree with, rinse, repeat. This isn't even news on any level. Those movies probably aren't pushing an agenda (However I haven't seen them), and the entertainment industry favoring the left is not news nor is it secret.
