WTF? Why is Fox Fucking Faux News and what they are reporting all over this DU Forum?
Edited on Fri Aug-22-08 03:02 PM by FrenchieCat
Is there a reason why we should care? And if so, what it is that we are supposed to do about this?

In other words, I don't get it. :shrug:

5. It's just recon.
Knowing what they are saying is important. It's not like we believe it.

9. I think it's because MSNBC has the Olympics so we're just surfing between CNN and Faux...
and surprisingly, CNN's turning into Faux Lite from what I see.

15. I rarely watch it
But I occasionally put it on to see what they are up to.

Plus the guide said MSNBC was showing Olympics, which does not interest me.

19. Respectfully, I believe that we are better off building on our own news,
than feeding theirs to ours.

21. It seems fewer and fewer DUers read the actual threads. All the
dialogue takes place in the subject fields.
We don't even need threads anymore. Everyone can just post a new topic every time they feel like typing something.
What's next? Will all the subject lines just be links to other stories? We'll just be LinkUnderground.com.
Maybe it will able just be abbreviations:

CFN (see Fox News)
YS (you suck)
DPTCH (don't post that crap here)
CCNN (see cnn)
ITSS!!! (It's the same story!)
PUMA
WTF
TPRSTD (this place really sucks these days)
YS
5POTT (5th post on this today)

Poor Mods; no point in locking a thread with only one post.
