Fox News Attacks Environmentally Conscious Games
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
Now... well, I feel obliged to say something. Are energy sources like wind and solar cleaner than nuclear power? Of course. But are they better than nuclear power? Not nearly as clear. And with the prevailing (and wholly undeserved) view of nuclear power being that it would condemn the world to a green-glowing, cancerous wasteland, I tend to be critical of popular media that paints it in a negative light. It gets enough bad press as it is. So maybe, maybe Fox has a point about including anti-nuclear propaganda -- I haven't played the game, but it's a possibility -- though I agree that the entire rest of the segment was a jerks laughing at straw men.Logan Westbrook said:

But authoritarian Sim City Societies is the best type. Just listen to that music:

re·mit/riˈmit/BrunDeign said:Spell check Mister Westbrook. I don't think "remit" is a word.
Just being a Grammar Nazi.
Verb: Cancel or refrain from exacting or inflicting (a debt or punishment).
Noun: The task or area of activity officially assigned to an individual or organization.
Its the noun he was using. You've seriously never heard it before? And surely it would make you a spelling Nazi or a vocabulary Nazi rather than a grammar Nazi? Meh.
Anywho, if Fox was right every time they were angry about a supposed liberal agenda and had magical powers to destroy each offending item the world would probably resemble a post-apocalyptic hell that would make Mad Max glad about his situation. They slash out at anything if they don't think it will appeal to a Republican voter in their late 50's who goes to church every Sunday, has a gun, a daughter they shun for getting an abortion, an American flag on their lawn, a membership card for a border patrol society, 2 draft proposals on their desk to government bodies to see an Obama birth certificate, a subscription to Glenn Beck's weekly newsletter and a tattoo of the twin towers saying "never forget".
There's nothing wrong with Republicans, but there is something wrong with nutbags.
Right... That's what we call hearsay. Notice how the guy doesn't say who said what? What do you want to bet he was quoting the opinion shows? In addition, he was using politifact.com, which is about as reputable as Wikipedia. Try harder.Father Time said:
No. I'm just wondering if you base your opinions on fact or fancy. You know, that thing that Fox News gets accused of all the time.CarlMinez said:
You'll also notice hey have a higher average of neutrals. (Except CNN with Democrats) Since the main slogan of Fox is "Fair and Balanced", I'd say their doing a better job than the other two.Father Time said:The only way that shows that Fox News isn't biased in favor of conservatives is that they had less positive things to say about Republicans than Msnbc. They still have more negative things to say about Democrats and less positive, as well as less negative things about the Republicans than anyone else.Clonekiller said:So, have any fact to back that up, or are you making like a talk show pundit and formulating a statement based on hearsay? I'm gonna guess the latter.
Oh, and as for fact, try this:

Remember that these people called Warren Buffet a Socialist for wanting his own taxes increased and that, to them, 700 billion dollars tax revenue from the rich is a pile of worthless shit, while 50 million cut from the Federal Government or taken from poor people is a critically important contribution.
Warren Buffet, please buy out Fox News.

Good thing they don't know about the cheat code to unlock every issue of Pravda, and a Lenin background.winter2 said:
Yeah, that's sorta a subjective statement to begin with. So I don't need to back it up with facts. Also, Fox News is a joke. You don't need a source, just ask any rationally thinking human being and you'll get the same answer.Clonekiller said:Right... That's what we call hearsay.

Fox news guy: "At the end of the day, parent's don't really know what's in these video games"
You don't know what's in these video games FFS!

So Sim City saying putting houses right next to underfunded nuclear power plants is a bad idea is wrong?
Ah. I see. So, anyone who thinks Fox News is bad is obviously and intelligent human being, and anyone who favors Fox News is an unintelligent fool. Sure, Fox News might have the largest and most diverse viewership among cable news networks, but who needs those pesky facts getting in the way. It's a whole lot easier to say "only idiots watch Fox News".CarlMinez said:
