Fox News Attacks NEA for Classifying Games as Art

[ace_of_something]

Not really sure that president Obama has ANYTHING to do with the NEA... they really like blaming him for EVERYTHING there.

I love the "WTF" face the pro-games guy makes at the end of the interview. It speaks volumes about the opposition that the only way to debate against it is to spout off about unrelated issues and resort to absurd exaggerations. It looks like the pro-guy came in ready to debate, while the con-guy grabbed the nearest all-purpose-propaganda kit to recite.

Is there money going to waste? Probably, I don't know, I'm not involved there, but that is seriously not the issue being debated - it had no relevance.

Wait...I'm trying to deconstruct a Fox News 'fair and balanced debate'. Anything I can say would be redundant from the title 'Fox News'.

While I don't promote having ANY art funded by the taxpayer, misinformation on either side is a big no-no. Debate should only be made with knowledge of the issue a hand.

I don't blame Fox, though. I blame the guy who spouted a load of blind rhetoric on the matter.

I laughed out loud at the part when Ambrozy called them "entertainers."

 

[Gazisultima]

As usual, they completely miss the point and try to corrupt the minds of the public with bullshit. Did not see this coming *sarcasm*.

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

*slow, sarcastic clap*

Okay, thats still working.

Unsurprising dipshits are unsurprising.

Did you ever listen to how they introduced the segment? They introduced it by twisting it to sound bad already: "Should the videogame Call of Duty get federal funding?"

They titled the debate "should Call of Duty get federal funding" they set the stage in the radio host favor and you know it.

And then the dude corrected them.

And they ignored him.

Get a drink, watch Fox News, and take a sip every time they lie, blow something out of proportion, or use strawman attacks. My record was 20 minutes conscious.

You have a constitution to rival Dwarves, friend.

You must have Herculean alcohol tolerance levels.

The funniest part? it wasn't even alcohol. I passed out from sugar overdose. . .
OT: Stop feeding the trolls, don't put Fox on this site.

You, good sir, win "most hilarious comment of the day".

 

[GiantRaven]

I think everybody should attack Fox News for classifying Fox News as News. I'm not from America but to me they sound completely worthless as an organisation.

 

[cp.06]

Why won't people understand how easy it is to solve problems with assasination?

I laughed. Well done sir.

 

[ZeroMachine]

And then the dude corrected them.

Nope, no one mentioned Call of Duty after he made the correction

Yup.

Done with you.

Not gonna feed the trolls.

The morale of the story here: Fox News sucks, lies, and ignore facts and points made to them.

And apparently, so do their supporters.

 

[Awexsome]

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.

They set up the debate so the guy opposing video games would ignore every point the other guy made. Fox is just as much at fault for this as that asshole radio guy.

They set up the debate so people could hear a different point of view. The dude from FNC never took a side, as good reporters don't. Stop blaming Fox for reporting the news in an honest way

Hahahahaha! I honestly hope you're not serious. I mean... I HONESTLY hope you're not serious...

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.

...

Ambrozy does his best to express this fact, but is somewhat overshadowed by the loud, outspoken words of Asbury. "Hey, maybe we should start giving taxpayer money to ping-pong players," Asbury says, not seeming to understand that a ping-pong player and a videogame developer are two entirely different professions. He adds that organizations like the NEA are "stretching the limits of wastefulness," becoming a "perversion" of what they were originally intended to be, all in regards to the changed criteria.

...

That's the problem with Fox News. When presented with facts that contradict their opinion, they start to shout and shout until the other party is so annoyed that they just stop talking and leave.
