    Default Amsterdam: FOX news vs. reality

    http://www.boingboing.net/2009/07/29...reilly-fa.html

    Bill O'Reilly recently invited a couple of pert blond Republican strategists to frighten Fox viewers about Amsterdam's lax pot laws, which have made the city a "mess," and "cesspool of corruption."

    I honestly don't understand why U.S. government haven't done anything about FOX news yet, you see this kind of reports of FOX every single day, haters and liars, especially that Hannity idiot.

    I especially love how they claim that the rest of US media is left wing and that they bring balance by being so right wing...

    Claiming to bring balanced news when they admit they have a right wing slant is like claiming to be a moderate... but also demanding the brutal and immediate deaths of all your enemies.

    Jeez the US government going after Fox. What weed you smoking. Don't you know the Joos and bilderbugers would not let that happen.

    The constitution is a bitch aint it.

    And on a serious note how many Fox News related threads are we going to have. Lets put up a sticky thread to cry and bitch about the media, maybe that will please the folks.

    Freedom of the press.

    If you don't like it, change the channel or don't re-post it and making it viral throughout the web.

    Otherwise you become an unwitting promoter of Fox news.

    Because that's freedom of Speech and Press...

    US Constitution and its darn Amendaments! It's like having one or two thousand assault rifles home, you can because of the Constitution.

    BTW, if it bothers you, you just turn the TV off.

    Edit: Ordie beat me to it.

    Really? Some of the UK gutter press makes FOX look respectable.

    You should see their report on Brussels.
    According to them, it's a almost like downtown Jerusalem, except that the Muslims throw rocks on anything with white skin.

    Slight exaggeration.

    I just feel sorry for the poor people who believe this crap.

    I live in Amsterdam and I don't know about the "mess" and "cesspool of corruption" he and his "strategists" are talking about.

    Political shows are for bean-bags. Read the News and move along... no need for somebody else to interprete it for you (one way or another)
