anyone catch ahmadinejad on fox news this morning?

infinite loop · 09-21-2006, 01:26 PM

the caption under his name the entire time while he was speaking was "'axis' pres"

again, fox is to news what pro wrestling is to sports. i can't believe the outrageous partisanship. he's the president of a sovereign nation, how about showing him some respect even if you hate his politics (which i do).

Axis ? As in "Axis of Evil" ?

wow. They should have just called him Cobra Commander and be done with it.

There was one amazing caption on right before Chavez spoke in Harlem. It said something like "<adjective - derogatory i think> leader about to spew more hatred against the US". Had everyone in the office

ing.

How anyone can take Fox news seriously is beyond me. CNN mistakes are not even on the same level as the blatant bias consistently shown on literally every Fox program throughout the day.

beez · 09-21-2006, 03:33 PM

It's sensationalism and they're fantastic at it. I don't like that it's presented as "news" but then again (and someone mentioned it here earlier) if you were to simply present the facts nobody would watch.

motivez · 09-21-2006, 03:57 PM

I like how the defense for this is saying, "oops, CNN made a mistake with leaving an audio recorder on" and "The thing used to align the camera was left on a split second too long" ..both mistakes

This is simply more proof that Fox is an extension of the Republican party -- and and their (The Bush Administration's) effort to link this current conflict with Nazi's any ridiculous way they can.

Yeah, because they NEVER report anything that would put Bush in a bad light

Where did I say that? It's a common practice for Fox News commentators and analysts to parrot the Administration / Republican talking points for the day.

The Daily Show has put together many clips showing it. The President or some top level Republican will say something, and then on Fox News, we hear it over and over and over again.

This is no different. Bush says "Nazi's!!1" and now we're calling him an "Axis" President.

Only because everytime you say it, it's just as ridiculously humorous as the first time you said it. Did I 'scamper away'?

Quite making personal insults.

Oh quite being so melodramatic. Iran is part of the so-called 'Axis of Evil' and he is the president. They are just sensationalizing things as every media outlet does. It has nothing to do with partisan politics. Get over yourself.

motivez · 09-21-2006, 04:08 PM

By pretty much everyone who thinks independently, yep. There's a wealth of information out there that pretty much proves it, but I'm not going to waste my time looking for it to paste here to be greeted by a typical one smiley reply that fails to address any points or think critically about any of the information.

Has nothing to do with me, this is about Fox. Not sure what there is to "get over".

Recent push to link him, terrorism to nazi's + "Axis" President =

Gee. I hope his feelings weren't hurt.
