Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Ok, I know it's big news that Mohammed Aldouri (I believe that is his name) has left New York in hopes of going back home. His main reason being, he hasn't heard from his family since the war began, but I happened to notice this. On Fox News, they were showing the interview he was giving getting in his limo to leave, (in which he said to the Iraqi fighters that they need peace, no more war), and as we went to his limo, he turned back around before getting in it and said "Hey Richard, good luck!" and then went up to the man and hugged him with big smiles on their faces. The Richard he was saying goodbye too, was what is said to be his favorite reporter, a reporter from CNN. Now on Fox News they showed his "speach", then went back to the newsroom and then REPLAYED the end part of it, just to show and to pinpoint the man saying goodbye to this Richard. After they showed it, the Fox News anchor simply said... ..."Ok folks, I'm not even going to touch that one!" I just found it very amusing that Fox News would do this, trying once again to make CNN look like morons, and very partial towards Iraq and the such. Did anyone else notice this one? Sincerely, ...Downhome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SP-1 Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Ghey. Not the thread, but how Fox apparently handled it. I don't really have a reason to have beef with Fox, but anytime I've tuned into them for War coverage it's been entertaining but not really informative. Kinda like watching WB's morning show only with better production values. I'd take CNN over that any day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crazy Dan Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Sometimes it feels like Fox is a lil too much "rah, rah, rah USA" for my liking. I just feel that Fox sometimes is not as objective as I would like. Also, does anyone else find it tacky for Fox to run war highlights of the week, set to this uplifting music. This was The Daily Show's moment of Zen a few days ago. I have to agree with Spider that Fox seems like they are trying to go for more entertainment, than information coverage of the war. And I don't blame them, the more entertaining, the better the ratings. But, I rather be informed, so I will read the paper and watch CNN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MD2020 Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Well, of course the Iraqi UN guy said a special thanks to CNN. They've helped cover up torture and murder for years--check out JOTW's thread below. I usually flip between CNN and Fox. Fox may be a little more entertaining, but going between both of them you can usually get the whole story. However, Fox definately has CNN beat when it comes to hot female anchors. Laurie Dhue=Ratings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fo Life, liberty and the pursuit of those who threaten it Krotchenjudge How is being on the left=wrong and right=right? Please explain that to me? I am just curious how you came to that conclusion. Albeit there are some idiots who are on the left. But there are some complete nut jobs who consider themselves on the right. To label everyone who doesn't share conservative ideals as wrong, is very intolerant and ignorant. What makes this country so great, is that you have different ideals and opinions comming together. When you only have one, it makes a country weaker and it is steps towards a totaltarianism. You are not wrong to be obviously conservative, but your attitude does not help the matter. Accusing people of being commies just stupid. People will always have conflicting views, even in times of war. But to put down those who share different views than your own, is ignorant.
