Name Game: Fighting Nonsense with More Nonsense

[Nyrad01]

Huh, Podi makes some strong arguements for state funding of video games there, I really wish Fox had him on to defend gaming. I face palmed, Picard style, when watching this, not because the arguement against Federal funding of gaming, but because people will watch and believe this drivil. Things like this make me glad I live in the Uk and not the USA, I'm sad to say.

Oh and good strip this week

ok, seriously? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 'literally' lol. nice job.

Wonderful comic! Brought the point home.

However, the debate really makes me feel ashamed to be American. These are the morons in our 'news.' Any country up for some immigrants? Plz?

For God's sake, why does Fox keep coming back to games? Do they all honestly think that games are the most evil things in the world that require constant vigillance? Okay, I've vented.
Seriously, someone just give Fox a rubber ball to play with.

Fox, and frankly most of the Republican party, is based entirely on fear. It's hard to make people afraid of things they know about so you have to drum on things they're ignorant of. And since the majority of their viewers are old and technophobic, video games are a VERY easy target.

The entire point of Fox is summed up as this "The world is big and scary! Because we say so. Be afraid! Be very afraid! All these new things are here to destroy everything you hold dear and rip away your money and rights! Are you scared shitless and pissed off now? Good! Worry not true Americans. Trust everything we say without question and we'll protect you from the big scary world."

Ever seen Tangled? The girl is kept locked in her room. Her mother convinced her that if she ever ventured out into the world people would do horrible things to her. Even though she could have left at any time, she was kept captive by fear. She was completely reliant on her mother who made sure that reliance continued by keeping her afraid. This is how the Republican party operates.

Im English so help me out here, does Fox News have anything to do with Fox Kids because I loved Fox Kids when I was younger?

Anyone that can think, knows for a fact that fox news isn't news, its scares. It doesn't try to report straight news, it tells you to think certain things are bad or good, by presenting stupid or straight up made up evidence to make their side look better. Fox Scare, not news.

 

[WaderiAAA]

Hilarious.

Podi actually has the right idea, unfortunately. In a debate like that you can't use reason, it doesn't work. Some well meaning person thinks they're going to elighten people, and acts blindsided when it turns out to not be the case.

Besides being broad casted on the same channel then no. FOX KIDS was freakin' Beastly!

Eek the Cat
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Beetleborgs
Kamen Rider

God those were the days. I'd happily trade Fox News for Fox Kids anyday

let us do some math bullshit together(god believers use it to "prove" stuff and so can i!)

let us take the word "fox"
f=6 o=15 x=24 => fox=45
we have all seen the movie with jim carry about the number 23, turn it around its 32.
you add the two numbers and you get 45+32=77.
77 is also troll! t=20 r=18 o=15 l=12 l=12.

there for fox news are trolling us. this is fact!
i know it is because i messed around with numbers until i was able to connect the two words for no real reason and with no real logic.

....Ouch dude. I believe in God but I don't use Bullshit numbers. If anything I'm one of the more tolerant quiet kind that facepalms everytime an idiotic representative of the church claims to have answers he made up.

Secondly concerning your math skills. All I have to say HOLY JESUS MOTHER OF GOD!! It's true!!!

You have seriously won the internet.

i didnt say all of you do it, i was just making fun of the ones that do.
i respect your right to believe what ever it is you wish to believe in.

Well thank you for the respect and once again Kudos to that hilarious post

nice one, squid!~ you show those hobby killing leeches who's the man... i mean... animal?

This I why I just stopped watching the news a year or so back. All it does is make me angry or scare me. I used to watch the news all the time and it never did me any good, it just stressed me out. Fox is annoying just like all other bias new organizations. Since they tend to all be horribly biased I just look around for independent stuff and statistics.

 

[AbstractStream]

Fox news makes me want to puke sometimes.
Great comic!

 

[whaleswiththumbs]

Stuff em....Any individual with a brain knows that FOX news are always full of shit

That is just it. The large audience they have largely doesn't have much in the way of brains. It's more of a talk loudly till you get your way kind of thing..

 

[brazuca]

The fact that Fox News lies so frequently does not depress me (and let's be serious, they are lying and intentionally misreporting information).

What depresses me is the large segment of the population that takes what Fox News reports at face value.

The only thing about this situation that gives me hope is that the younger generation is much more skeptical about the news media in general and gets their news from multiple resources rather than just one, making them much less susceptible to the infotainment that Fox provides.

I still feel bad for my grandfather getting riled up and misled though.

Only part of this young generation does that. Fox News really did their part on exercising their first amendment, in a sense that they are free to give their vision of thruth. Sad part is that a bulk segment of the society belives that is an inquestionable truth.

A fair and balanced debate...

Podi for president!

Podi with a tie is the best thing I've seen all week.
