Did somebody mention Fox News?

Don't know how we missed this one, but they apparently won a ruling saying they could legally lie to people all they goddamn want

Ha ha ha! That's just great! That really needs to be fixed! Jesus-fucking-christ!

I can see the reasoning, but just NO.

Well this looks familiar-

Well it seems some people didn't know about it so whatever.

The death of journalistic integrity is nigh.

Cue Fox News airing a report that they won a court case against someone who wanted them to stop reporting the truth.

Huh. That wasn't very smart of them. I assume this whole thing with Fox is relatively new and not well spread. Once it gets widespread enough they will end up losing a huge amount of viewership and essentially become the Enquirer Channel. Who would believe someone who blatently claims to have fought for the right to lie to them? That seems like a really dumb move on there part to destroy whatever mock credibility they had built up.

I am pretty good at bullshitting and even I am having trouble coming up with a way to spin this for them to not look bad.

EDIT: Haha, this is an old story. That is disheartening

Not to change the subject... but hey, that's what I do.

Old whitey in Missouri won't have anything to do with bus-ridin' socialist witches.

Thanks for embarrassing the US once again, the South. Please hurry up and fall into the sea.

I would like to once again reinforce my terror that these are people who absolutely adore guns and think they can solve problems.

Nutcase at Las Vegas town hall(??) shouts "Heil Hitler" at a Jew as he confesses his love for Israel's veteran/healthcare system

Once again getting that feeling of waking up on a different planet. I think I have an easier time figuring out temperamental machines than these lunatics.

ZOMG UPDATE: Turns out she was wearing an Israel Defense Force t-shirt.

The worst part is that I can't tell if she's a conservative or a 4channer.

I'm not sensing any mutual exclusivity there, sorry.

It'd be fun to see a breakdown of political affiliation by sub-board, though.

Brentai · « **Reply #192 on:** August 18, 2009, 02:19:18 PM »

Well the fundamental difference is that 4channers don't actually believe in whatever the fuck they're talking about.

...oh. Oh I see.

How come we haven't seen Anonymous out protesting this? Did they stop selling the "V" masks?

4chan is not a demographic whose laziness you should bother to bemoan.

I don't normally say this, but I think it's appropriate in this case.
PWNED

I saw that last night, and it made my father-in-law laugh out loud.

Barney brings up a good point, asking what planet she's from. Maybe I didn't wake up on a different planet, but just got invaded by nutbags pouring out of some Combine-esque portal from another dimension. Makes more sense to me, anyway.

The "Obama is like Hitler" party line has spread like wildfire through the right wing masses, proving both that they are in fact just repeating what their peers say without thinking, and that somebody somewhere has a terrible sense of humor.

It's just like 4chan, but with more rage and less sarcasm.
