I didn't defend Fox, I merely pointed out a fact. That you admit to not having watched them "for years" yet still slam them because they don't share your ideology says a lot about you. That you got so defensive says even more.

I don't know if there is any North American media outlet that "shares my ideology", and as such I prefer to get my news from European sources usually.

I find it curious that you called me "obsessed" but only mentioned one outlet, when if you hung around more you would know that I pick on any media outlet as I see fit, and that one usually seems to provide more fodder. But it came off as you getting bent out of shape over Fox when my first comment on any outlet in this thread was more towards CNN.

Pot, meet kettle.

No new news in awhile...guess that's a good thing.

I actually dont know the context to this picture but I love it all the same. and yes I get its not even remotely the same situation. I dont think harper was drinking wine

I could use a drink just reading about everything that happened today. I can't fault him for having one.

I don't think that's a wine glass - to me that is a fancy spittoon

/also, one sort of silver lining if there are any in a tragedy and crisis like this - at least Rob Ford is the mayor of Toronto and not Ottawa

After Jackson's swearing-in ceremony and address to Congress, the new president returned to the White House to meet and greet a flock of politicians, celebrities and citizens. Very shortly, the crowd swelled to more than 20,000, turning the usually dignified White House into a boisterous mob scene. Some guests stood on furniture in muddy shoes while others rummaged through rooms looking for the president--breaking dishes, crystal and grinding food into the carpet along the way. (White House staff reported the carpets smelled of cheese for months after the party.) In an attempt to draw partygoers out of the building, servants set up washtubs full of juice and whiskey on the White House lawn.

My favorite prez.

Well, they're still searching for a suspect, so maybe not.

Worry now is probably that he high-tails it to Montreal or Toronto. Becomes much more difficult to find him in the bigger centres.

A buddy of mine in Co. Springs, Co. that lives down the mountain from NORAD said he has been seeing fighter jets fly over and can hear the rumble of engines on the ground.

NORAD has increased its number of planes on high alert.

You are twisting yourself into a pretzel on this one fella. You mentioned one particular media source multiple times and I noted it. That's all, no more no less. Not sure what your beef is with a station that you don't watch, but.......................................................

ISIS better hope this isn't related to them, or else this probably will be the catalyst for significant ground forces. Once that happens, they're toast in their current incarnation. Their ideology will survive, but their organization won't.

That they (pretty much all media) focus on trivially stupid things instead of informing the public on things that really matter.

News is not entertainment. At least, it shouldn't be.

Fox Focuses on a coffee cup salute when we seem on the brink of war with a nebulous enemy in an area that we have royally fucked up in the past in the same way that MSNBC focuses on the color of skin of a police-involved shooting victim when we should be trying to understand why police forces feel the need to have body armo(u)r, long range weapons and anti land mine vehicles in the first place (not to mention how they are getting them). And CNN... well, hell. Have they gotten any facts right at first report this calendar year?

Sorry, but it came across that you were only interested in defending Fox.

I've been listening to CBC ONE on satellite today and have been impressed by how well they have resisted speculating and have been focusing on the known facts.

No worries, I don't watch any news except for my local station and only when I need a more locaized weather forecast than Intellicast gives me. Hell, I don't even watch TV at all unless there is a hockey, football or maybe baseball game on. If there was a quiz about current television programming I would fail miserably.

local news coverage finally stopped. I guess they finally figured out showing the exact same video and imagery for the last 6 hours.

Yeah, scary situation given the (likely) motive and target, but in the end it's just one of thousands of murders that'll happen worldwide today.

*sigh* That must be nice.

"Nothing new to talk about. So we'll stop."



On another note, good on ya Pens and Flyers

Canadian anthem to be sung at Flyers-Pens - Broad Street Hockey

[dash]
