Fox News: You sure it's not joke news?

To his defence It's a comedy show. I found it extremely dry and unfunny

[QUOTE="MoonMarvel"] I am lost on that too, people need to understand that Red Eye is NOT serious attempt at news. It's just a comedy show and nothing more. People take that show WAY too seriously when even the people on it are just joking around.trix5817

What's a comedy show doing on a news channel?

It's a late night show...

Wow. These posts are a joke, right?

why did you need 4 replies? as far as i know, the show doesn't have one of those disclaimers stating "the views of red eye don't necessarily represent the views of fox news." every broadcaster is responsible for the content they put on their channel no matter what the time. in the youtube age, broadcasters can't get away with excuses like that anymore.

all i know is that if the situation was reversed, and a canadian "late night comedy show" on the cbc made the same comments about american troops, i'm sure some segment of american conservatives would be up in arms.

lol he said USA was the most powerful country in the Universe :lol:

Fox News is crap, but not because of that. That show is supposed to be silly and full of jokes.

Most of you guys just don't get it do you? Red Eye is not a show that was meant to be taken seriously. You all love to jump the "bash fox bandwagon" without realizing that it is and always been, purely for the laughs.

fox news is like pro wrestling pre-scripted and crappy promos ( arguments)

I don't know if this entire thread is compiled with sarcasm or people are that dense about this show.

It airs at 3 in the morning...

You do realize that Red Eye is on at like 2 in the morning and it's not really news, right?

Seriously, this Fox bashing crap is getting to become a joke. Yes, there are people out there who don't have the same views as you. Not everyone is going to have an extreme liberal bias like MSNBC (which was pretty much part of Obama's campaign) and CNN.

MSNBC is much, much, much more biased than Fox is.

And the Fox bashing is old. There are some poor reporters on the show (such as Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter), but there are also good ones, such as Shepard Smith and O'Reilly (oh noez not Bill!!!). If you get past the fact that Fox is a conservative news channel and will report news from a conservative standpoint, you will see that they aren't nearly as unfair as you think. The opposing point of view is always brought on show, and they also have some very good commentators, such as Hiraldo and Juan.

I'm a Canuck and I'm not offended by this. I've had the misfortune to see "Red Eye" in a few airport lounges while waiting for flights. It's obvious that it's FOX New's failed attempt to copy The Daily Show. It's obviously meant to be humourous. It just fails at it.

I'm more offended when the likes of Ann Coulter or Laura Ingraham get on a supposedly serious talking head show with the likes of Tucker Carlson and start spewing much the same idiotic rhetoric, but actually believes it. Too bad the little idiot didn't even know Canada didn't go to war in Vietnam.

Having said all that, the CBC has a regularly scheduled show called Talking to Americans which is basically nothing more than a smarmy Cancuk host going around interviewing regular Americans and then sneering at them for their supposed ignorance about Canada. It embarasses me that the show is so popular here.

The thing I notice when watching the clips is that, yes, most 'average citizens' are stunningly ill-informed but that they're also unfailingly polite and are trying to be friendly. I'm quite sure that a similar show filmed here in Canada would reveal that our own 'average citizen' is just as ill-informed and would come across as looking just as stupid.

Too bad the little idiot didn't even know Canada didn't go to war in Vietnambogaty

Which is relevant how, exactly? What individuals citizens did isnt really of significance as none were intimately connected with institutions that set national policy. Canada, as a nation, did not get involved in the Vietnam conflict.

[QUOTE="helium_flash"]This post speaks much much truth. I watched Red Eye once and it bored the crap out of me. There is a reason it is on a 2am.

Imo, O'Reilly is much better than Anne Coulter, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh. Then, of course, there are guys like Olbermann and Maddow on the liberal side :P.

If you want good TV analysis, watch The News Hour with Jim Lehrer whenever he has Mark Shields and David Brooks on. Honestly, they're just about the only two TV analysts (both are columnists as well) for whom I have any respect.

I hope you're joking. GLen Beck? The guy is a moron. Seriously. He's got the IQ of particularly slow turnip. He had a little cry over the upcoming movie GI Joe and how it's going to brainwash kids into accepting rule by the UN and you think he's the best person on TV?

Stevo_the_gamer

Oh please. Individual citizens signing up for the US armed forces is not "Canada sending troops toe Vietnam." Hell, individual Americans went and fought for the Nazi regime during WWII. Are you intimating that America fought alongside the Nazis?

As for Operation Gallant, sorry, but that was not "Canada sending troops to Vietnam" either. That was Canada sending Peacekeepers under the auspices of the United Nations, AFTER 1973 and the US pullout, and ONLY to act as observers of the ceasefire and to ensure POW repatriation. You know full well that Coulter was not referring to that, but you know, nice attempt to grasp at straws.

[QUOTE="bogaty"]

[QUOTE="remmbermytitans"] O'Reilly is a check to Olbermann, and I don't agree with either of their views. Maddow comes off to me as crazy liberal, but she does have her moments of brilliance. Coulter tends to be right on, but sometimes she has her moments of crazy right-wingness. But I think the best person on TV right now is Glenn Beck. Anyone that says anything bad about him is going to get it.:x

If, by moderate you mean willfully ignorant and therefore dangerous, then I agree. The guy's a danger as he offers nothing but inflammatory rhetoric in little 8 second sound bites that appeal to the lizard brain and fall apart under the slightest scrutiny.

Yeah I don't watch it, they sometimes joke news and sometimes blantantly biased news. The American population should be ashamed that one of their most watched news stations pumps out garbage like this.

Nope, I was merely pointing out obvious factual evidence. You can spout that she's wrong all you such please -- but it won't change the facts. She's right when she said Canada sent troops to Vietnam, she never said they sent troops to fight. But be my guest and hypothesize all you such please. It won't change the facts. Canada sent troops to Vietnam. Period. End of story. Nice try though. :)

Sorry. listen to her blather. She's goes on about Canada sending troops to Vietnam as a loyal ally of the US. But, good job on parrotting the right wing talking points.

Bring back Bill Buckley.

I wasn't aware that news still existed. :? To be less vague, I don't think news exists any longer, and it hasn't existed for some time. What we call "news" today is just another arm of showbiz, and they care more about ratings than actual news.

These "news" stations are owned and operated by just five corporations--that's a very scary thought, considering that we're being fed our daily information from guys who are only concerned about their profits. ;)
