Memo to Fox News...

Just fuck off. No, really. If that's what passes for "fair and balanced" in your news room, then we'd all be a lot better off if you just packed it in and died in a ditch somewhere.

UPDATE - Let Fox News know what you think - go to their web page, and on the bottom right is a "Send News Tips to Fox News" box - just type in something like "

Saw it on Canada AM this morning. Even Seamus O'Regan was pissed about it when he was interviewing Geoff Norquay.
I agree completely, Fox should just fuck right off.

I sometimes forget that I have quite a few Canadian friend until y'all post the same thing. :)

Infuriating. They say stupid things daily, but I honestly think this one takes the cake for ignorance.

Apparently, the Canadian government has asked Fox News for an apology. I've been scanning the news all day, and so far the American press is ignoring it, while the Canadian press is pretty much livid. What do you want to bet that even when it does get picked up by the American press, Fox News will either ignore or minimize it? Or say "Our Red Eye program is so controversial, it even pisses off the CANADIANS!!!" or something to that effect.

I saw the clip early yesterday. Is it possible that you missed the coverage of it on American News? I can't imagine Olbermann would pass up an opportunity to comment on that. I haven't seen any, but I've been writing a paper with the tv off for the last day and a half.

I'll keep my eyes open and let you know if I find anything. I'm curious to see what we do with it. I'll be royally pissed off if nothing is said. That would be almost worse than if they'd never said these things in the first place.

Getting angry about it will, of course, benefit them completely.

Yeah, it's kind of what they do, I know. But I think they've crossed a line on this one, and I think they need to know that they've crossed that line.
