'Jesus was a white man, too. It's like we have, he's a historical figure that's a verifiable fact, as is Santa, I just want kids to know that. How do you revise it in the middle of the legacy in the story and change Santa from white to black?'
What made it particularly wrong is that while historically Jesus was probably not anglo-saxon, neither was Saint Nicholas who was from Turkey.

Originally posted by AdriftSo, this wasn't actually a news program, it was just a mindless talking heads bit?
I'm only asking as those are the only impressions I have of Fox News.

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostAren't those the whole point of Fox News? Glenn Beck, Megyn Kelly, and other people saying anti-pc stuff and making nazi comparisons? Trolling liberals, which tickles conservatives in lieu of being actually funny?

Originally posted by Adrift View PostI don't have cable, but from the brief periods I've seen it, it was my understanding that Fox News actually has news programming, and then around the programming they have talking heads shows that are just pure entertainment. Pretty sure that's true for all of their competitors too. So you have one channel of anti-pc stuff, trolling liberals, and tickling conservatives, and then three or four other networks are doing the exact opposite, saying super pc stuff, trolling conservatives, and tickling liberals. Absolutely nothing for us middle of the road guys."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostSounds weird, danish news certianly aren't like that. Interspering political comments and entertainment with news reporting. We just have the news, nationally sponsored. At best we have the program called The Debate, where some intellectuals together with a strong moderator discuss a particular issue.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostRegular network news is like that. But Fox News like CNN is a 24/7 news channel. They can't just report the news 24 hours a day. It would be too boring.
DR - Danish Radio (our official nationally sponsored news channel - this is a social democracy afterall)

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostDR Update is like that. Just news. My mom's husband loves having that channel running constantly in their house. When it runs out of news, it just loops the last hour or so of whatever came in.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostIf I recall, CNN used to do that when it first came out back in the 80s. All news all day. But like Mtv they realized they could attract more viewers, and thus more advertisers, if they added shows to the lineup.

I get most of my news by reading Starlight's posts.
