Fox News is yellow journalism (journalism that exploits, distorts, or exaggerates the news to create sensations and attract readers) and it is not in my opinion funny.

What journalism these days isn't? Every channel has their opinions, you just think it's good journalism if it happens to match yours.

If no one watched Fox as it is, then they'd have to change their "journalism". So who's fault is it really?

@pax: "Yellow" journalism? Are you trying to imply that Fox are COMMUNISTS and not red blooded Americans? That is SLANDER, good sir!

Firstly: Fox News is in most cases, including this one, not journalism at all. It's punditry. This is not a journalistic story, it's a lop-sided debate with a biased mediator.

But much more importantly, not all bias is equal. There is a problem with people picking and choosing only the slant and story they want to hear, but this infantile idea that everybody is equally biased, everyone takes equal pains to cover/exploit that bias, and all reporting or information is of equal value tainted only by whether you the viewer agree or disagree is horse apples.

Horse apples, I tells ya.

Wow, nice job Jon Christensen. You didn't say a goddamn thing to help the situation. Next time FOX will hopefully get someone intelligent enough to actually TALK about the game. But I guess that wouldn't really fit in with their fair and balanced mantra.

Actually Preston, when it is written, it is Libel. But that is besides the point. The point is that Fox News is filled to the brim with douche bags.

I love how these "news outlets" always have to have these stories and always try to paint the only person on the panel who has actually played the game and has first hand knowledge of what he is talking about, as the ignorant one.

Fox is a joke, and no, its not funny!

If you have to have your tagline be "Fair and Balanced", that's pretty strong evidence that you have bias issues.

I'm so sick of media bashing gamers and the gaming community for the so-called violence influence. Games are growing up as are the people playing them...isn't the average gamer age somewhere in their mid/late 20s now?

There comparable to R-rated movies, don't let your fucking 8 year olds watch Apocolypse Now or Pulp Fiction or whatever, don't let them play MW2 or GTA, etc.... simple.

The outcry over FOX's slanted reporting is actually surprising. They ALWAYS DO THIS. People who dont play games telling gamers what they should be playing? Its ridiculous. Its like telling us: "You know what a good game was? PONG! That was back when games were good and safe..." BLAH BLAH BLAH! If there is a gamers' advocacy group we can join, sign me up because I am tired of this. Gamers have been marginalized for far too long when we are the ones paying the taxes and buying the games that hence pay more of the taxes so blowhard politicians can condemn something they know nothing about.

FOX: PLAY THE FUCKING GAME!

If you are offended by that level it is because you are SUPPOSED to be. It doesn't glorify terroritsts! If anything, it shows you the horrible things they do from a first-person perspective and motivates you to pursue and kill them.

Okay I'm done screaming at the wall...

I wish there was someone else that could've been there. There was plenty of positives to. I think no movie can convey the beginning of the game when you head to the Army basic training. Seeing players playing basketball and watching them repair vehicles. I felt a human feeling no movie media ever brought to me in that moment.

This report tells me one thing. It was a slow news day. Whenever there is a slow news day they go for their checklist of go-to topics. Every media outlet does it. Outcry = ratings.

what you fail to realize is that they have MILLIONS of Americans that watch simply because they don't like muslims, black people, people with less money than them, people with MORE money than them, or people that can think for themselves.....which is why Glen Prick, & HO'Reilly can talk all that shit even if shit they said the previous 8 years was the REVERSE of what they are saying now

Fox news controlled by Ruppert Murdock

All the other stations controlled by the Central Banking Interests who in turn control the federal government.

There is not a single news channel I would trust to tell me how to think. More people need to think for themselves.

Oh, to clarify - I think this kind of game fear mongering, and a lot of the bs fear mongering of the station, is total bullshit and messed up - but I think its equally messed up bullshit for the attack that Chris made. That would be as sensible as me saying all who watch MSNBS are terrorists or some bullshit. You need to stop throwing that accusation at everyone.

Let's see, painting the entire channel as fear mongering racists because of four hours of opinion programming. Turn it on around noon and tell me it isn't good reporting. FOX does have the best reporting crew in the media today, if you can look a little further than the simplistic opinion programming during prime time that every other news organization has.

Hmm ... well I can't speak for America, but in the UK our news reporters and programming is actually impartial and intelligent. Fox News is neither of those.

MO, that was a desperate attempt to coat-tail. How many is irrelevant, as its a slanderous and baseless accusation to make about the general populace of those mentioned. Point still holds true - you shouldn't make such wild accusations against people unless they individually have acted to demonstrate it.

@Duke
Your fanboy/reactionary gene has surpassed your reading comprehension gene because Chris wasn't talking necessarily about the general population that watches Fox.

There's a lot of people that watch Fox. Some of them for the reasons Chris listed. No need to pull out your anti-race card card when none was brandished to begin with. Sensitive much?
