So I just finished watching Fox News talk about a kid arrested I believe Florida for making threats about starting a Virginia Tech style massacre. Well this kid had 20 some guns and 5,000 rounds of ammunition in the house. And on that little display table of seized firearms they had his four AKs and glocks.

Anyways, the hosts of the show talked about how they had armor piercing bullets that could shoot down airplanes and take out tanks. :rolleyes: And they had officer friendly talking about the gunshow loopholes and the loophole for assault weapons (18 to purchase vs 21 for handguns).

Considering that this kid lived at home with his parents and the officer brought up the age issue, I have to wonder how many of those weapons were actually his. But really the only things that made me feel sick was the fact that they talked about bullets taking out tanks and airplanes. :barf:
 
FOX NEWS- was the key in that statement. they NEVER portray the real news its alwasy an alaboration/exageration of what they report on... and armor peircing, well the 7.62 rd. will peirce i think IIa and even III. i might but wrong its been a while since i've been on the box o truth. but tanks....NOOO and he didnt have any rpgs did he? then the plane thing is farfetched to say the least. MEDIA sucks for us gunnies
 
Fox News tries to be fair & balanced between the two major political parties, and usually achieve that ... but that doesn't mean they know anything about guns. Plus, individual reporters have their own ideas. With regards to guns you're much more likely to get fairplay with Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly than Geraldo Rivera and Alan Colmes.
 
Don't be doggin' on HAIRaldo now, his "street instincts " might kick in.

Perhaps you've forgotten Al Capone's vaults the epitomé of HAIRaldos career

So long as he doesn't put on his black shirt and start flexing for the camera like he did during his Katrina coverage, we'll be safe...
 
To think at one time I was an idiot/sheepal that somehow believed Fox News was really "Fair & Balanced".....

About a year or so ago I came to the realization that Fox is anything but fair and balanced. Fox is behind all this police state crap whole heartedly and absolutely disgust me anymore:barf: They are truly the enemy to a free press!

Their continual talk of "home grown/blond haired/blue eyed terrorist" is enough to make any red blooded American :fire:

They even have a show with that Edie Hill lady narrating it. It's called something like "Jihad-Home Grown Terrorism" and they end the show with a statement that goes something like this "and we know for a fact there is home grown terrorist in every small village and community across the entire USA" :uhoh:


FAUX NEWS: WE DISTORT, YOU COMPLY......
 
Anti-Gun News, whether it be FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC. They are either all dishonest or incompetent. FOX seems to be a little more honest, though just as ill-informed as the others.
 
Isn't it wonderful and i suspect coincidental that out of all the 24/7 news channels you chose to bring FOX to task for being " anti gun " .
Just my opinion but if the past is any indication Fox is far more likely to give gunowners a fair shake than MSNBC or CNN . Yea they had Officer Idiot on , but the newsdrone shut him down with the " you cant blame the guns , millions of americans dont own guns and dont make threats" , She in fact asked as to why if the guy was a threat it was only a $7500 bond and why he is out of jail .

I guess you have your take on the coverage and i have mine .
 
*shrugs*

I doubt their choice of coverage for that gun piece was politically motivated one way or the other. Footage of stacked Glocks and AKs sells air-time. That's pretty much the motive - sensationalism = green stuff. Making them sound extra scary just boosts the effect.

I've often found Fox irritating due to their tabloid front-page story selection (foxnews.com) - not made up stuff, but news that isn't. Does anybody really care that some person was stuck in a bathtub for 5 days??? Really?? Is there so little news from Washington/Moscow/Jerusalem/Tibet that that gets to take up space on a national news page?

They'll push anything that they think will attract customers.
 
This kid is a NUT CASE. He was on the Florida Shooters network forum as well as AR15 forum under various aliases trying to buy firearms in the BST sections of both. Most cases he was outed and the sellers walked away once he was id'ed, but it does appear that he was able to buy some stuff, maybe through a straw purchase.

Search for 305boi on Florida shooters network . . . it is hilarious!!!
 
Fox is Fair and Balanced most of the time. The other alternatives.....CNN (Clinton News Network), MSNBC (about as liberal as CNN). Give me a break.

Fox news is simply a rotting branch on the opposite side of the other branches that all sag limply from the same diseased tree of TV "news".

Also, I like cake! :)
 
In before the lock also.

All those news groups are weak and all their base are belong to us!
