Fox News at it again with the fear mongering machine. This time saying Birmingham, UK has "Muslim only zones" in the city. Seems it backfired on them this time as their terrorism "expert" became the laughing stock of Twitter and social media (#FoxNewsFacts). Even getting called an idiot by Prime Minister David Cameron, LOL. I don't understand why people take them seriously.

Well Fox is number one in having the least informed viewers, might as well start 2015 off by trying to dumb them down even more.

Ohh wow, I didn't see the #rupertsfault ones, LOL. I like when Aziz Ansari asked him for a step by step guide for his 60 year old parents to help destroy terrorist groups, LOL. Too funny hahah.

Also in the category of 'complete idiot' would be people who believe that a comment by a single guest (which was later retracted by that guest) is somehow representative of the entire network.

I'm sure I could dig up a wild statement made by Louis Farrakhan on NBC, ABC, or CBS over the years. Is that going to impugn the entire network? Apparently so, according to lib 'logic.'

FOX News labeled this man an expert and their host agreed with him and used him multiple times on the subject.

Did someone label Louis Farrakhan an expert ??????

Thats the only way your argument would even make sense, and even then he would have to be on multiple shows making that claim and having the host of the shows agree with that claim.

No one wrote this. Whether they think it is anyone's guess.

Lots of people make wild statements. That doesn't make this one any less wild. I have other things to impugn FOX, some of which have already been stated. This is just another example.

obaggers sure spend a lot of time worrying about Fox and new MSNBC or CNN or the other network *news* broadcasts. Deflection is a wonderful for an obagger these days.

Oh, look, is that Sarah Palin over there?

Here is sentence 1 from post #1:

You tell me what you think that was intended to convey. To me, it pretty clearly says that the poster believed that this one comment, by this one quest, was reflective of the network as a whole.
