Fox News Attacks NEA for Classifying Games as Art

Asbury is only full of Logical Fallacies and horrible comparisons which make no sense. I am suprised someone like him has been in the business long enough to get both bold and have a grey mustache. Ambrozy on the other hand has answered everything with Logic, and with evidence. He answered how he was supposed to answer, whether people listen or not answers exactly how intelligent they are, and in that arguement it would be wise for Fox if they just sat down and thought over what they should REALLY be doing before they go in the smoke with a fully cocked gun, otherwise it will just end up with them losing even more people.
To anyone wondering why it is that Fox News chooses to lie so openly. For anyone thinking that it's to promote certain parties over others it is and it isn't.
It's mostly about money.
Scenario: The country is in bad economical shape. A human, let's call him "Dan", has been laid off and like many others is struggling to find another job. He turns on the TV and sees a man with blond hair and blue eyes. And the man tells him that he knows why Dan was laid off. Apparently, there exists an evil race of goblin -like creatures, that roam the streets in disguise called, "Liberals". In fact, there's an entire political party of Liberals. The liberals want to use tax-payer dollars to cough(help people just like Dan get back on the feet)cough. So Dan votes against the liberals, but wait! Dan's still broke and unemployed? Who to turn to? Who to go to in these times of personal crisis. That's it! Fox news showed him what the "problem was last time, maybe they can help him again.
Rinse and repeat
By offering snake oil remedies that not only do nothing to help the viewer but hurt them as well, Fox viewers keep crawling back looking for the next fix. Like a heroin addict.

there just preaching to the choir. and besides when you stop considering them as a reliable source of news if you did in the first place. then they just become a source of comedic gold. I was always impressed by how they could say such nonsense with a straight face.
I just imagined that first in the voice of Professor Farnsworth, then in the voice of GLaDOS.Racecarlock said:
Also, could we just all agree not to watch them anymore? Please? This sort of thing isn't even funny anymore.
Nice framing of a story FOX. The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) does not give money to anything that can make money, but only for what can be considered to better the life of US citizenry intellectually or to inspire growth in a medium. Monies are only given out after a proposal is submitted in review. Therefore, a standard COD-style FPS or any other kind of game geared toward high volume sales would never get taxpayer dollars.
'Traditional' art is the same way. Artists (either sculptors, painters, directors, photographers, etc...) must indicate that they want to display their stuff for the betterment of mankind and NOT sell it, and the money only really lets them eat and buy supplies while they are working on whatever it is that they are contributing to the world. Commercial artists (big budget movies, people that sell artwork, and people that sell tickets to shows for profit) don't get NEA dollars for those projects. It would be the exact same way with game designers.
An aside... I wish they would have gotten a better debater for the pro-games-as-art side, because a quiet, timid debater is just as bad as having the uneducated/untrue expression of what the NEA actually does.
