Title: crybabies at fox news
Post by: inode_buddha on May 25, 2012, 03:58:46 AM
Anyone up for a fox news bash thread? Yah I know its too easy, and affords little satisfavtion. Like shooting fish in a barrel, only with dynamite. But sometimes you're just too tired and can't be arsed for anything more challenging, and you need a quick giggle before sleepytime.

Here's the latest I've got from them: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/05/25/0037256/fox-sues-dish-over-auto-hop-ad-skipping-feature

I smell all *kinds* of hypocrisy opportunity under the surface of this situation... ever notice how "competition" and "free market" is great, as long as its happening to someone else? (actually TV and telco is anything but a free market at least in the US)

I remember when the cable execs said that a subscription would mean fewer ads (this was back in the 1980's when they first incorporated and chartered their monopoly rights of way.)

Aahahahahaha :horrormirth: :horrormirth:

You know, I'm really tempted to say something here, but I'm not sure if it's the product of a bad mood and too little sleep or not, so I'm going to leave it, but I'm posting this here, now to remind myself to check once I've had a good night's sleep and my mood is improved as to whether or not it's justified.

So, commercials are like an endangered species in the "broadcast television ecosystem"? that Fox are trying to protect. Noble really. I always knew Fox News are a bunch of fucking greenies!

It gets even funnier when you recall that Fux is owned by Rupert Murdoch... and all the uber-capitalists suddenly don't like business so much now, do they?
