westsider Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Things like this really hurts Fox News' credibility. And it is unfortunate.One of several, really ... Although, like always, if it was a network other than Fox, this probably wouldn't be an issue.No way. If anyone on a national network implied anything like this about a presidential candidate, it would cause an uproar. Ask yourself this ... would any commentator, on Fox or another channel, make that statement about McCain or Clinton? Here's to post #5,000 is in defense of a network that I don't even watch!That puts you in a tough spot ... how can you defend it if you don't watch it?

Obviously not, but then again, they don't have links to the Muslim faith do they? And yes, I know Obama is not Muslim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True blue (and gold) Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Obviously not, but then again, they don't have links to the Muslim faith do they? And yes, I know Obama is not Muslim. Was Timothy McVeigh a Muslim? We limit ourselves greatly if we subscribe to the notion that only Muslims can be terrorists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I know Obama is not Muslim.So ... having a family link to the Muslim faith automatically makes them a target for terrorist jokes? You may have a job waiting for you at Fox ...

westsider Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 1. I don't think the thread would have been started in the first place.I disagree ... then again, I don't think anyone on another network would have ever made the comment, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatz Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I can't to read your reponse to the thread I just started about Bush lying. I'm sure the response will be fair and balanced. Go find a post where I said Bush lied and I'll humbly apologize. :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 So ... having a family link to the Muslim faith automatically makes them a target for terrorist jokes? You may have a job waiting for you at Fox ... Hopefully so, would be a huge pay raise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamprat Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 You would think with all that is going on (gas prices raising by the day, unemployment rate soaring, etc), the media would be busy covering real issues/concerns.Aw, come on, now. Cover real news? You're kidding, right? They'd never make any money doing ridiculous stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75center Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 What a moron. I realize that these guys go for the chest bumping sound bites but he obviously didn't stop to think that in these days where everyone is offended by something, this would be over the top.
