Tom & Molly! Please discuss this topic on Buzz!
by Squirrel1081 - 1/23/08 7:49 PMGamers are once again under attack, but this time by Fox News and a psychologist named Lawrence Cooper. They blatantly attacked the game Mass Effect on XBOX360 and how it supposedly glorifies violence and nudity to kids. Anyone who actually played this game knows this isn't true.
Take a look at the news segment, which aired on Monday:

You should tag this to del.icio.us

Give it a try. 
google reader too?

Fox news, pro-censroship....
by Nicholas Buenk - 1/24/08 3:19 AM In reply to: Tom & Molly! Please discuss this topic on Buzz! by Squirrel1081Add that to the list of how they are anti-democracy.
I'm absolutely disgusted...
by Squirrel1081 - 1/24/08 4:39 AM In reply to: Fox news, pro-censroship.... by Nicholas Buenk...that someone was able to generate an opinion on a game they never actually played make false accusations on national television. Fox news should be ashamed. The gaming community has responded, though! Take a look at Lawrence Cooper's reviews of her book on Amazon! If she's able to say negative remarks about a game she never played, we're allowed to 1-star and give horrible reviews to a book we never read. :o)

Oh please
by surfpark - 1/25/08 2:47 PM In reply to: Tom & Molly! Please discuss this topic on Buzz! by Squirrel1081Fox News is silly. Its a tongue-in-cheek approach to news. If they were "fair and balanced" they'd never have to say it...it would be implied. I think the people that watch Fox News are the types that really enjoy the underlying messages the network delivers and not the actual news.
Thank goodness for the freedom of the internet.
I agree
by mementh - 1/25/08 4:32 PM In reply to: Oh please by surfparkfox news has smeared itself and destroyed is name...
right now if i don't hear about it in the tech world (or on A Daily show with John Stweart and the Cobert Report) its not affecting me that much..
Maybe its the election bullhonkey? or the spins that i don't like.
Completely agree...
by Squirrel1081 - 1/25/08 8:53 PM In reply to: I agree by mementh...Fox News is a fraud. Adam Sessler also responded to this mess:
