Asmodai Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Okay, so it doesn't really inflame me, (like people who piss on toilet seats) but it does irritate me. I could handle being required to read conservatively biased articles at school, as long as they were counterbalanced with some from the other side. I, personally, am too independent and arrogant to not be able to think for myself, but the principle of the thing is rather sickening. Just because my teacher is a card-carrying member of the christian right doesn't mean us kids should only be exposed to one viewpoint at school. The actual activities and articles are fairly harmless, but the concept itself is bordering on criminal. Only reading things that you KNOW you'll completely agree with is like masturbation. Perfectly alright - but if it's all you ever do, you're one sorry motherfucker. Quote I'm not angry. I'm an asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbuk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 How is FOX news, (laughs at the word news coming after the word FOX), integrated into your studies? Under what pretext?

Crispy Critter Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Fox news is refreshing to CNN and other cable news networks... The bias must be defined in facts and Fox allows you to decide the facts and offers differing points of view on news... If you are interested in spinn or balance PM me and I'll send you a list of addresses from both political parties that will surely scare you in their bias... I subscribe to DNC and RNC and their puppies and you can read and decide what scares you the most from day to day... Did you know there are reduced rates on republican hotel rooms for the counter anti war thing in DC in Sept. when cindy and crowd show up they will be blown out of the water? News shouldn't have a slant but it does and if you have a problem with Fox it is because you have been on a diet of selected feeding...

Cogito Ergo Sum Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Fox News is the biggest piece of propaganda you could ever watch. CNN is slightly but not much better. If you want to watch a real news broadcast worth watching, watch BBC. Quote . I put no stock in religion. By the word "religion" I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much "religion" in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness.

pjbuk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Well I for one don't like FOX news and I really dislike people like Bill O'Reilly. OUTFOXED!

Unfair & Unbalanced Bill is my favorite news guy even though I often dissagree with his analsys of the war... What kind of filtered news do you like? Bill is on a rampage on child molestors and has confronted several governors what are the other stations doing? I like to look at the news on the Internet and Fox, CNN, CMBC and so on... for balance... If it hurts to listen and watch it probably is some truth being subjected to an unwilling mind...

Asmodai Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Actually, Critter, I make it a point to occasionally read/watch news that's slanted every which way, and if I had to make a personal judgement call, I'd say that Fox was "the biggest peice of propaganda you could ever watch". It pisses me off the way you can't just go to any one news source and get all the information because they all have their own interests to look out for. It depresses me so much that sometimes I don't even bother. 1 Quote I'm not angry. I'm an asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParasiteGod Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm in that class too. Said teacher gets pissed off if you have an opinion other than hers. So I save myself the crap and don't participate in her discussions. Anyway, want some good news? I JUST SAVED A BUNCH OF MONEY ON MY CAR INSURANCE BY SWITCHING TO GEICO!!! But no, really. I like to get my news from The Daily Rotten. The articles are user submitted, so you get stuff from all sorts of newspapers from around the world. For instance, Joe Blow wants to submit an article he found in a newspaper from his hometown, he submits the link, bam. Done. Granted, you get some, uh, strange articles, but you do get more than you would from FOX or CNN. Quote I want to report a double murder. If you go one mile east on Columbus Parkway to the public park, you will find kids in a brown car. They were shot with a 9mm Luger. I also killed those kids last year. Good bye Brooks, I like you. Now get out of here. Go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope you don't have that high of an opinion of peanut butter... I hate Bill O'Reilly. Well, not really hate - he doesn't deserve that. The point is he's a goddamn idiot and he really, really annoys me. And to quote Patton Oswald... Why do the conservative extremist assholes have all the good music? "And next on Bill O'Reilly - why black people smell funny! DA-NA-NA-NA-RAAHHH!" Quote I'm not angry. I'm an asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
