Hay all you in the USA .... FOX News hate star wars

[LordPasty 69]

 

Rupert Murdoch is history's greatest monster.

 

 

Incidentally, how is any of this related in the slightest way to Xwing?

 

 

I hate to be "that guy", but since it's about Star Wars, it is in fact related to X-Wing.  Off topic?  Sure, but still related to X-Wing.

[Sanguinary Dan 468]

Who cares?  Liberals like MSNBC and Conservatives like Fox.  Both are wrong more often than they are right.  And knuckleheads on both channels won't get TFA.  End of story.

Woolly freaking mammoth. 

 

Yes, this is true.  I occasionally watch MSNBC.  I'm one of those people.  The difference?  I don't run around telling everybody it's a great news source or "IT'S TEH TRUTH!!!"  The other difference?  Fox took the time out of their busy schedule slamming minorities, unions, healthcare, the working poor, and.... OK, OK... I'll stop, but they took the time to discuss SW on the air.  They felt it was that important.  That makes it relevant to X-Wing and it's why people care. 

 

End of story.

I could only make it halfway through this garbage.  Oversaturated???  From a "news" source whose talking heads want guns in every elementary school?  The hypocrisy makes me dizzy. 

That's the part I got to and almost had to turn it off.

 

A.  This belongs in the Off-Topic forum.

 

B.  It's Fox News.  Who cares?

A) More on topic than most of the random petitions (which should have been in the rules forums)...and vastly more entertaining.

B) Too many people sadly.

[nathankc 676]

wait - the guy they had for pro-Star-Wars said JJ Abrahms directed Armageddon - 

I think anyone on here could have defended the franchise better than this shlep

[DarthEnderX 5,286]

A) More on topic than most of the random petitions

Completely disagree.  The petitions are at least about the GAME.  This video isn't even that.

That guy was a sad excuse for a person anyways "I was of course covering comic con, not having any personal interest, I never would want to be seen with the nerds! Nerds, aren't they funny and strange? Laugh with me, they are so awkward, right?"

[nathankc 676]

Yeah - pretty much that entire segment was laugh at the nerds time. I'm sure it was followed on a poignant piece on high school bullying.

Here's my attempt at answering their question (though they would have just talked over it or rolled their eyes)

 

Star Wars is an international cross-generational phenomena and has been since it opened on May 25, 1977 where it exploded across the world and in many ways created the modern film industry as we know it today.

Acclaimed philosopher and writer Joseph Campbell outlined the basic hero's journey that has been retold over and over again across all cultures for almost all of recorded history and the characters in Star Wars, particularly Luke Skywalker take this same journey so of course it resonates with us, just like all great stories across time have and still do. Add to that the cultural, emotional, and nostalgic baggage that now almost three generations of fans carry with them as it relates to these stories and you will have massive excitement for stories that parents have been telling their children who tell their children. This new film coming out with the characters that we last saw in 1983 or later, generally when we were children will complete their story. What happened to these people that we have grown up with? We want to know. We want to continue to share in their story.

I can't decide if I hate the "fan" or the woman more.

For blowing up a bunch of Death Stars and an entire planet.

And of course, you, you monster. GlaDOS said so herself:

FOX news: Fox doesn't own Star Wars anymore, so it's over rated, never mind the millions of dollars it made for us under our movie company, 20th century Fox.

[KCDodger 11,041]

what is this doing directly in the XWMG forum

[Dagonet 7,246]

There are so many off-topic topics these days, people don't even bother and mods are absent.

[KCDodger 11,041]

Forumgoers, please.

Please just let this topic die quietly. Please.

[Hobojebus 11,341]

Well that's the problem with 24 hour news, sometimes there's just nothing worth reporting.

[ObiWonka 7,081]

So no one is going to talk about the guy staring in the window?

It's a bank of monitors on a delay so when people do rude stuff they can hide it.

[Marinealver 8,073]

MSNBC is just as bad. FOX is just conservative media using liberal spin tactics.

 

But one question, what disqualifies this from being placed off topic? Did Fox news said the X-wing worlds tournament was a socialist conspiracy or something?

[zathras23 936]

Why is Torquemada on the list?  He was a good singer, dancer and dance choreographer....

 

 

Besides, despite being unexpected, the Spanish Inquisition's methods seemed to be ineffective....

Seemed perfectly fair and balanced to me.

Lol they say the words but they clearly have no clue as to the meaning.

It's pretty sad when you think about that had Fox not taken the gamble to fun the original star wars film they would have gone bankrupt.

[rilesman 249]

If you are not into Star Wars, it is pretty cultist  and I am ALL for that...but this is another example of Business Journalist need to stick to business just like the embarrassing moderation by CNBC for the Republican Debate.  CNBC proved they were morons away from business and 2/3 from Fox proved it too.

 

As for objective, FOX does blow the rest of the news networks out of the water with viewership and every single network have adopted their model in their programming.  So say what you want but just because they don't meet your expectations doesn't give a reason to bash.

 

Let's just agree that Neil and the blonde are losers.
