I'm surprised Fox news hasn't spun this as a terrorist plot yet...

How does it relate to kryptonite? Did they just fucking make this up? I think my shit is more like kryptonite than this, its green and superman definitley doesn't want to go near it.

What have they said that wasn't accurate? I keep hearing this shit, but the only thing I can think of is Rathergate.... which no one mentions...

refering to barack obama as barack osama a few times took down their credibility for me. i still trust npr or the bbc the most.

[Edit] refering to mark foley as a democrat after the whole him being into boy thing

[Edit]http://noquarter.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/03/fox_news_crazy_.html

has quite a few funny screen shots. I bet 80% are taken out of context, and 10% are actual errors that you see on cnn and everything like that. but i bet 10% are them just being fucktards

Also, it is kinda cool, but i was disappointed in the name.

oh goodness......npr is marginally ok, the bbc is so far gone I would hardly trust them on soccer scores.....


EDIT: To back up my point about the BBC

Hero's Tale 'too positive' for the BBC

Comment on the bias in the BBC

A compilation of complaints of bias against the BBC (I have not personally checked all of them, so I cannot vouch for complete authenticity. However, the ones I did check were legit)

The BBC used to be real good. They got the good stuff that no American media ever picked up on. Now it seems like they just sort of blended into the bland boring American media.

Yeah, but fox news claims to be fair and balanced. CNN never claimed anything, and I think they try to be a little more fair. What's the balance on fox news? Hannity and Colmes? They might as well call it "Our personal God and the whiny stereotypical liberal new york jew."

p.s. Ann Coulter. lol

Except by attempting to be a respected journalist they ALL should be fair and balanced. Does fox go a bit too far to the right? Well, yes. However, while I'm not justifying their bias, it hardly begins to outweigh CNN's to the left.

Oh, and if Ann Coulter is your only argument, just don't start. Each side has their famous nutjobs, so if we want to go there, well, what's the point? She has very little credibility in the conservative establishment, just like Rosie O'Donnell has very little in the liberal establishment.


Edit: grammar

De-thread jacking this:
Fox News wrote:
"We went to check [the mineral composition] out and found that in the 'Superman Returns' movie of 2006, Lex Luthor steals a rock fragment from a museum and it zooms in on the fragment and it lists the chemistry of the mineral and that happens to be exactly the same — or almost exactly the same — as what we had found," Rumsey said.

So, according to 'Superman Returns' kryptonite is sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide

although Ann Coulter is a helluva lot easier on the eyes and ears. Both of mine bleed when given any exposure to the other one.
