Retard Reports @ Fox(Faux) News on XBox360's Mass Effect
« on: January 27, 2008, 02:32:43 PM »
I read this while killing time on my lunch break on Friday.

Fox News "Recklessly" Misrepresents Sex, Facts in 'Mass Effect'
Fox News "Recklessly" Misrepresents Sex, Facts in 'Mass Effect'

I own the game and this whole fiasco is pretty damn ridiculous.

What do you think?

An article containing no facts accusing someone of not using facts?

You don't have to read past "Fox News gets it all wrong" to realize that the writer of this "article" doesn't even understand that people wrote and executed the segment. Not a big evil corporation. Yes I'm sure that the evening reporters, specifically that lady with the lazy jaw, misrepresent stories to create stories that are not there. However these are people. This is not evil Exxon killing penguins. In fact if you read this "article" without taking the impression that the writer is a wacked out conspiracy theorist reserved for the supporting role on Die Hard 4, you've definitely get your news from the wrong source.

Not to mention: "don’t get my news from TV anymore, so I only became aware of this when..." followed shortly by "Of course, she has never played Mass Effect." Hello? Why are you accusing people of what you just did?

I'm sorry but whoever wrote the article was taking pot shots at an easy target which generally means your credibility is roughly 0. And to those shocked by the content... Every news agency, especially local, trump up and create stories inside of real news for ratings. It's not a car crash on 4th and grandview. It's a story about why Ford doesn't care about safety!

So please, when you write an article about someone demonizing video gaming, don't have it be written by someone who was already trying to demonize that news agency before that story ever happened. It kind of takes something away from the idea of being unbiased.

It's not a problem for me. I ignore everything with the Fox label on it just like I ignore that crazy guy in the town square that's hooting and hollering with a bible in his hand. It doesn't shock me anymore that people will do such things. In fact, I've come to expect it. We live in a world where people seem to care more about quantity than quality. As time progresses, one would think that human evolution would reach towards new heights of excellence,... but thats not the case. Everything must be formulated and conceived with the lowest common denominator in mind. Wouldn't want the stupid people to be completely lost, ya know. They need the shepherds guiding crook to keep them in formation. Television has become a religion of followers far more devout than any extreme either-wing group of loons. I prefer to fill my head with things that I want there rather than what THEY want there.

Fox? Who?

Not sure. It's dirty laundry. I have also stopped watching television news. I'm just making the point that they are all bad and singling one out doesn't make that person much better. I actualy have no interest in the story because I don't like X-Box and I will probably never play the game. I also have no idea what the situation is because the article was about bashing a news network, not the situation itself. So after reading the first about 7 paragraphs I still have no idea what's going on other than television media is generally wrong. (which I agree with)
