dude, it's hard to articulate my anger at this, since it clearly points to the general attitude of most of america. say what you will about Fox News being a fringe network that spouts editorial content under the guise of newscasting. the fact is, there's a reason they're so successfull: what they say reasonates with people. this hostile ignorance mixed with a combination of sanctimonious posturing, self-righteousness, and anti-intellectualism seems so impenetrable and so ubiquitous . . . seriously, i can handle a lot of bullshit but this is the one thing that makes me really hate it in this country. the uk is turning into a "nanny state", yes, but at least it's okay to be smart there.

sorry, had to rant a little. it's not the video game thing that pisses me off, its the whole damn policy this culture seems to have.

It totally makes sense. To "reasonate with" would mean to resonate with, due to sounding reasonable.

IT could be worse, you could live in Canada and put up with the extremely biased Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Par for the Fox News course. You should have seen their report on Doom II (1994) being the cause of the Columbine massacre (1999)....pure genius, complete with screen captures of...wait for it...Half-Life.

Anyone who trusts Fox News is likely too far gone to bring back anyway.

It's true. One of the things that scares me the most is when people are unaware that there are even opposing ideas than the ones they know simply because they've never been exposed to them. That's why things like being able to customize your news headlines, relevance feedback systems (sort of like amazon's) and other things like that scare me. They're not bad if you know there is other stuff out there and you just want quick updates or a place to start, but for a lot of people it can make their already narrow range of information sources even more narrow.

Aside of the sex/nudie tripe that was shovelled. What I got from it was another febble attempt at emasculinating men/young boys. The whole argument of boys becoming more violent because of video games is complete horseshit because I come from the pre-Atari era and I tell you what, FOX would shit their pants if they did a story on some of the crap we pulled as kids.
They did a social experiment on young boys at the University of Washington recently where the boys could only play with girl toys such as Barbie, tea sets, etc. for a long period of time. You know what happened? The boys made weapons out of the Barbies.
The blatant hypocrisy of FOX and the liberal media never ceases to amaze me.

That reminds me, I have to go by that book!!

(There is a "Dangerous book for Girls" out now also.)

Make sure that you get that book with the laminated edges, or your child might get a PAPERCUT!

Dangerous Book for Boys is awesome!

PAPERCUT!

Ok so, update on the thread topic:

One of the reporters apologizes after actually seeing the game played. >_> (and also after having people spam all of her books on Amazon.com with negative reviews)

That's pretty cool. Props to her.

But about the Fox report it is kinda funny that they messed up on their data and at most watched the trailers. It is resaonable that EA didn't make them pay any repercussions but a corporation as big as Fox can do mostly anything they want to do unless enough people object to it. Not sure if I'm roo accurate about this but although the Daily Show and Colbert Report are liberally biased they do have plenty of people from the other party come on and talk, sometimes they get into a heated debate and sometimes they have good discussions(and sometimes the guests are made fun of without them even noticing). But with all things, "Cum grano salis"

lol yeah, although I do use them as news >.<
then again all the 'real' news is this person died, this criminal did that, or politics...guess there are sometimes some interesting things on but the only news i really need is G4's game info stuff >.<
