Apparently Amazon is deleting the so called "experts' reviews for her book. This morning it had almost 500 reviews and now it's back to around 60.

Just because EA did not come to discuss Mass Effect does not give Fox the right to air uninformed segments on it.

Funny you should say that because that's the mass media's excuse for absolutely every misleading story they run.

"Well, the person we wanted to take the counterpoint didn't show. So we're going to run roughshod over the point we have until it saps us of whatever faux journalistic integrity we had to begin with! And then we'll blame it on the other side - for not coming on to defend themselves."

Gimme a break... if the party who made the product doesn't show, that doesn't mean you can just make up whatever the hell you want about it. Do some bloody research for once, Fox!

EA: This isn't a legal threat, it is an appeal to your sense of fairness.
Fox News: Why don't you come on our show to discuss this?
EA: Now this is a legal threat.

I think you guys need to stop turning this into an indictment against Fox News. Lots of news outlets produced uninformed reports on Mass Effect. Fox had a stupid segment about it, but they brought on a game journalist that made the crazy lady look, well crazy. Seriously I don’t think anyone has a “bias” against Mass Effects. CNN put on Jack Thomson, doesn't mean they are "BIAS AGAINST GAMES MAN!". Anyway, I’m just saying lots of people have irrational hate of Fox News and can't wait to share it, so if you’re going to go off the handle, at least do it on a legit topic.

fox news is an entertainment program especially designed to sir controversy, brew fear, and promote a culture of social and political conservatism. they revel in a culture of ignorance and misinformation, and promote the idea that the last word in the conversation--their word--is the right word.

it's about time the public had the last word, and that's what we are doing, so stop being a fox news homer and stand up for informed discussion. if that means slandering the slanderer, well excuse my hypocrisy but i'm all for it. i fucking hate the fox network.

Irrational hate of Fox News? Are you kidding?

They also just reported that Bush is thinking of his presidency in terms of Lincoln... And that Lincoln, too left his presidency as unpopular as Bush is... well guess what: Lincoln was assassinated right after winning the popular vote.

And that's just one example (today). They revise history to suit their political ideology (Republican) on the regular.

Give me a break... "irrational".

Oh god, please don't call those idiot neocons part of the Republican ideology. They call themselves Republican, but they are not deserving of the title.

You can call them Republicans if you must, simply because they've somehow taken most of the party, but please don't say it's their ideology. The Republican ideology and that of the neocons is completely incompatible.

opnickc,

I agree. Even though I'm not a Republican, but I have respect for them, because they believe in something and honest about it. The neocons are something else, self-serving bastards. Neocons have hijacked the Republican party...what a pity.

Hey, look, it's all the Fox News haters again!

I'm waiting for this same outcry when the other networks inevitably run this type of story. Again.

It does look bad when EA won't send a representative out to set the record straight. It makes it look like they have something to hide, and they DON'T, in this case.

The whole point of EA's argument is that Fox screwed up badly and that they should have to apologise. If you were going to try to make that statement in public, would you really want Fox to be the ones in charge of the editing and broadcast of it?

If EA sent someone to debate the point, I personally think it would make it seem like they were on the defensive, which they shouldn't be.

fox news hater = anyone left of the moderate right

in other words, the only people i know or have heard of who watch fox news on purpose are far right conservatives (ie: old people and religious zealots)

I'm a moderate, in my late twenties, and I often watch Fox News. Don't make accusations on their viewership unless you have solid proof they're all old religious far-right conservatives.

And by proof I mean stuff that isn't spoon-fed to you by radical-leftist blogs.

my assumptions (and yes, i know what happens when you assume) are based on my own observations. never read a leftist blog myself (unless you're counting joystiq??)

also, i said old people AND religious zealots. as an athiest myself, i pretty much consider anyone who goes to church (or "temple" in the case of mormons) and votes republican to be a religious zealot so if you go to church, you fit the bill. if not, then you're the first person i've heard of who watches fox news on purpose that breaks the mold. congratulations

at any rate, its just a broad generalization that i'm making and i wouldn't take it too seriously

Well you must not be paying attention while observing. Because if you did, you know they aren't a mouthpiece for George Bush, O'Reilly doesn't cut people's mics every five minutes, and they do have liberals reporters and correspondents on the channel.

As for overgeneralizations, well just remember it can work both ways - especially for all the tree-hugging, atheist, socialist armchair revolutionist kids on here. =)
