HArd to be surprised at this point. Fox acrtively looks for looks for liberal boogeymen to chastise on air. Next week it'll probably be the liberal bias of pokemon as a promoter of evolution over creationism.
Fox News Attacks Environmentally Conscious Games
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
Obviously, Fox News needs to play Roller Coaster Tycoon. Destroy environment. Build roller coasters. Make bank. Roller Coaster Tycoon promotes a free market conservative agenda, guys.
"Playin' dat dar Flower game turn't my chile into a homo-sek-shual wicca worshipper."
Come on, why complain? This is a comedy gold mine. Grab your picks.

Something tells me that the fox news people were just playing "fate of the world" and got way too frustrated and are now lashing out at these games.
I'm astounded that a significant proportion of the Fox News audience apparently equate 'liberal' as synonymous with 'socialism', which in turn is considered synonymous with 'communism'. It's a freakish hangover from the McCarthyist paranoid deception by way of Orwell's 1984. Scary stuff, especially when you realize that adults genuinely fall for this dishonest propaganda. Presumably it's due to wilful ignorance or poor education, but who can really say?
Well done, you finally get it!uguito-93 said:
heheOT: In other news, Fox News complain about Deus Ex: Human Revolution...becaus eof the use of augmentations saying it sends the message to kids that you must become a robot to look cool...
It's something fox would do...sadly =\
Rich republicans. A huge lot of retards.Infernai said:Allow my motivator picture to speak on my behalf
On an unrelated note: Why does Fox News still exist?
We should make a game out of this: How long can you watch the video without facepalming?
I got about 30 seconds...

Flower..? FLOOOWWWWEEEERRRRR!!! I knew the people at Fox News were idiots, but this has got to be a new low. They're picking on innocent flowers.
WHAT. THE. FUCK?!
Like was mentioned in the OP we've been able to kinda see their point with certain games, but now... It's like they can't go a single day without revealing some kind of conspiracy, while all along what they're trying to do is make profit from ignorance themselves.
"McCormack is twisting the ignorance of parents"
People who live in glass houses, you bumbling moron.

I wonder what they thought about the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" if they ignored the age demographic that movie was aimed at.
It's because with a private news network, they get income based on viewers and ratings. Real issues are boring to us because the vast majority of people here are really vain and need a constant income of the evils in this world to remind them that they're better than everyone else somehow...Doom972 said:
When you put up a real issue, people stop watching, change the channel to another form of entertainment, and the ratings drop. We are to the point of the news network in America being a competition between who can come up with the most outrageous headline.
It is effing stupid. If I want news, I turn on BBC America.
I'm a horrible bastard, mainly due to the fact that if given the consequence free option of brutally eliminating Fox News from the world, i would gleefully do so while cackeling like a mixture of Dr.Stranglove/Kefka/and the joker
BRB, I need to send something...

Dear Fox News...There's a very large gaming issue I am hoping you will cover. I'm worried about games like Battlefield and possible Call of Duty (with their pro war message, debatable with some of the CoD games), and games like eve online (with its heavy focus on making companies to wring money out of other players, and where lots of douchebaggery things DO happen). I'm worried that these games are pushing the Republican agenda, and that we really shouldn't be pushing that kind of indoctrination on-
...Wait. What do you mean I'm a liberal hippy that's a traitor to his country? I'm actually Canadian and-....What do you mean I'm a communist moron who knows nothing of the real world and should go-....hey that's not very nice.....

Honestly, I'm not surprised at this. It's FOX NEWS. Anything that's remotely un-republican gets hung up by the balls and lit on fire for everyone to mock and spit on.
Didn't they even speak angrily against Sesame street for promoting the "Liberal agenda" by talking about things like sharing and stuff?
We should honestly stop being surprised at stuff like this.

At least those guys were compelled to become villains by plot requirements. These guys are just dicks.rembrandtqeinstein said:

Ok, in all seriousness, that's FOX's marketing position. That's what people pay them to say. if they don't say it, they get fired. That's how business works. Granted, they seem to have full control of the idiot ball, but it shouldn't be surprising considering what they did to Mass Effect.LittleMikey said:
