Fox News Attacks NEA for Classifying Games as Art

[Necrofudge]

Oh fox news... you never cease to disappoint. Everyone should have seen this coming though.

I'm not going to say that Fox News should be taken off the air- because it shouldn't. However, it should be barred from passing itself off as a legitimate news agency.

You must have missed the part where Fox asked if Call of Duty should get federal funding, completely ignoring the facts of the situation. That's not honest reporting, it's utterly misleading.

At the 0:58 mark in the video, the video games blogger corrected the facts. After that, no one mentioned the words "Call of Duty". I agree that FNC should have done a little more to research what they were talking about, but at least they didn't keep banging on a point that was already called out as BS

Fox were clearly unrepentant to the first lie as halfway through the item they go and show Super Mario then SF4 on the 3DS, both of which are games that the funding clearly wouldn't be targeted at. Oh, and we could also observe how the critic got a fancy backdrop while the dev got a traditional school photo screen.

This is almost enough to make me want to rage quit life ¬¬

Save a bullet for me......


I swear everytime I hear anything about Fox news, I die a little inside.

Everything I have ever heard from them sounds stupid.

Never trust an opinionated news network.

 

[Gplars]

i wonder if it is possible to get the anons to hack fox news i post something true for once in the fucking lives, or that they do news like a monkey programs a computer.

 

[Infernai]

Wow. I totally did not see this coming! *Sarcasm sphere self test complete*

Hmm, you make an interesting point but...

 

[ProjectTrinity]

I think it would have been funnier if this article gave us the news without having a clear-cut side. We can tell from the getgo this article doesn't take too kindly to Fox News' input on the Games as Art Funding.

That said, STUPID FOX NEWS. D< I'd *like* to say that the whole station is just fine satire that trumps The Onion. Really. ' -'

Fox didn't do anything wrong, they had a debate. Your ire should be directed at the dude who was arguing against video games as art, not FNC itself.

That is a true point, but the problem is that Fox intentionally pulls people they know are blind to anything that is put down as fact, that will instead keep preaching their own rhetoric to the tune of where Fox leans. If they intended the debate to be a true debate, they would put someone on who actually knew what they were talking about instead of an air-headed mic jockey.
Fox News has yet to have a so-called expert on any of their shows that actually listens to what is being put forth in cross in the debate.

if i was the guy they brought on i would walk out, get a ball gag and paddle from an 'adult' shop, gag the guy and smack his face if he tries to take it out, then give my opinions.
it's called 'overreacting helps to deal with ignorant twats'.

 

[RJ Dalton]

Oh come on, FOX, you could at least try. Most of the other news stations actually make us do real work to see where they're completely disregarding the truth in order to make political points.

Congratulations, Fox. Once again you have ruined my day with your stupid. I shall honor your stupid (and my current addiction to Doom) by playing this map.

The "Ignorant" in the title is redundant. When you speak about Fox news, ignorance is implied.

 

[Virgilthepagan]

Dear Fox News. I think I speak for all people of rational thinking and common sense when I say:

this, well done sir! It infuriates me to no end to see debates like this framed in this light. Especially since Fox news is trying to tether it all to violent video games. Just because films like Thor are in the same genre as NEA eligible films doesn't mean it is.

long and the short of it, what Stewart said.

 

[DarksideFlame]

Goddamn, Everytime the radio host **** said something that was untrue i hit my head in my desk several times

Those are some pretty petty reasons to accuse bias.

Really? At the BBC, VTs are relevent, and everyone gets backdrops of a city or an office. Are you telling me that Fox News has less money to spend than a publicly funded organisation?
