Here is a follow-up to Captain Fog's article, Fox and Hounds, posted earlier this week. What U.S. audiences have not seen thus far are reactions from Canada, specifically how our neighbors to the north feel about this Fox insult.
How low did Fox go? In the same week Canada mourned four dead soldiers killed in Afganistan on a single day, Fox News belittled and mocked the Canadian military. Did other cable news channels cover this Fox abomination? Did Fox News apologize for this outrage? A begrudging but not widely publicized apology in Canada; nothing broadcast to a U.S. audience.
What a narcissistic, egocentric country we have become to have one of our major cable news networks so dishonor and disrespect Canada’s war dead and not even give more than a half-assed mea culpa.
Well, I want someone to apologize to me everytime Fox News insults my intelligence.
ReplyDeleteI am going to roll my guillotine to their studios first and let heads roll there...
With news like theirs, and the commentaries and commentators what need do we have for any educational system.
Careful with the guillotine thing TAO. I made a quip about my trusty scab beating ax handle and Grace Explosion threatened to call Elaine Chow.
ReplyDeleteWell, the Fox has been dishonoring everything they could touch for years, why not the Canadians, and as long as there are stupid people, their formula will continue to be profitable.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny to think that without those French surrender monkeys, we might actually be Canada.
It's ridiculously ignorant to act the way Fox did. Are some people really enjoying to be offensive or what? Plus when the Minister of National Defense asks for an apology and Fox comes up with a lame "we're sorry" that is just insulting. How can people be that disrespectful?
ReplyDeleteTake care, Lorne
I think that's just it - some people enjoy being offensive, or more often enjoy someone else, like Fox, doing it for them as sort of a spectator sport.
