Six Great Moments in Fox News Getting Video Games Completely Wrong

Where would modern comedy be without Fox News? This is a serious question, by the way. However you may feel about their coverage of political events, the one-two punch of catering to an older audience (the average age of a Fox News viewer is 65) and being utterly out of touch with every single trend on the planet has led to comedy gold. Now, instead of the old man screaming hilariously about those damn kids on his lawn, we have 24 hours of it, on cable, every day, easily uploaded to YouTube.

And nowhere is it funnier than when they start yelling about video games.

[Iroquois_Pliskin]

I also remember when GTA was released some news presenter reported you could have sex with a prostitute and cut her in half with a chainsaw. Half right, eh?

It bothers me that people that discuss gaming on the news still refer to 'points'. In GTA you apprently get points for running people over, or in MW2 you got points for gunning down innocent people. Wrong and wrong. I just wish someone that knows their stuff would go on the news when a story like this pops up and verbally bitch slap some of the ignorant news presenters.

Fox news is how rich people tell dumb people to stop progress

[coolbeans]

That just makes all other news channels rich people who tell dumb people what "progress" is.

Edit: From what I've seen

smart guy. "try" the govt as a whole is a shame

[coolbeans]

^I can agree with that as well. My first reply wasn't meant as a defense of Fox News, it was a defense of half-truths. Sure Fox is really just a microphone for the Republican party 90% of the time (when talking politics); however, why do bs commercials from MSNBC rarely get smudged?

Example:

You have a 15-30 second monologue of Rachel Maddow in front of the Hoover Dam saying "These projects can't be done without gov't", when in actuality ALL man-made projects were done through human ingenuity; not necessarily all were made by some gov't. My point being: if a news channel mistakes the term "government" for "human ingenuity", who's to say their definition of "progress" isn't skewed either?

I can't wait until Saints Row: The Third gets on their radar LOL

[SeraphimBlade]

If this happens, everyone here has to call in, tell them that you weren't going to buy the game, but after seeing the clips they showed, decided you should. Or, if you're feeling brave, that you'll buy it for your ten-year-old son.

Aha ha ha ha...I hate Fox News. If anyone is going to send us back to barbaric times, it's them.

[Strikepackage Bravo]

Fox news is no different from all the others, with the exception that Fox news reports on things that more conservative people care about, and that includes what kind of "trash" their kids are being exposed to.

Sadly just like CNN MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC, the View and Jon Stewart. Fox news too, gets half the sh%t they report WRONG. They all do it, the media is a joke, this is why we have a moron in the White House because the media didn't do their job.

[mixelon]

He's clearly less of a moron than the last guy, so that's progress at least?

Agreed about the media being ineffectual though.

[Mrmagnumman357]

Your kiddig right ? Obams has added 7 trillion debt, also his foreign and war policies have made us weaker as a country... Bush was okay until his second term...

[5119ent]

If he is a "moron" that makes the last guy "retarded" ...and trust me that debt is only going one way no matter who is in office....

[Mrmagnumman357]

Are there any news stations that don't suck ? No, CNN and MSNBC are extremely liberal and politically correct, also if you dont like obama your racist. ABC im not sure about, and Fox News they are not extremely horrible on politics, but when it comes to stuff like video games, and movies they are extremely conservative and dont know crap...

[cl1983]

They may not know everything that goes on in a video game, but neither do parents. At least with their stories, whether you believe they are in the right side or wrong side of the issue, they at least get information out there that can lead parents to look at the games, and try to control what their child plays. This last week, I laughed at the number of people, who I know who have 5-15 year old's, whom where taking them out at midnight and letting them get cod.

[Nunchez]

Seriously don't they have anything else in the world to "report" on? So annoying.
