I saw about a few minutes ago that the US government wanted to fund gaming companies in the name of Education and Arts. Who do you think was the first to jump on the story? Our very good friends at Fox News ofcourse!
Meh... Fox News just pisses me off sometimes, and I'm sure a LOT of you guys out there agree with me. They take a highly uninformed look at something, twist it a bit, grind some poo on there and serve it to us on a platter of faeces. THAT's what they do to news about gaming.
Here's what's basically going on. The NEA is including interactive media in their funding. Now: by interactive media, it refers to games that are EDUCATIONAL and not commercial. These are art games and not these commercial games like CoD. Ofcourse, Fox took things way out of proportion and a really uninformed stance on the matter. If they knew what the hell they were talking about, I wouldn't be pissed off right now.
In the video below is the segment that I'm ranting about. Watch it and let me know what you think.
In my honest opinion, I think Fox is handling this like they did the whole Mass Effect "controversy".
Here's the link to the segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ysYT-rSfw
Baka
Whaat? But Fox News always gives the fairest and most accurate representation of facts?
ReplyDeleteI used to get mad and greatly disappointed. Now I just shake my head. What can you expect from Fox?
ReplyDeleteWho listens to Fox News?
ReplyDeletethats bad.
ReplyDeleteThere is a reason why Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's material is 70% fox news.... because they are the worst 'news' station on TV. FAUX NEWS
ReplyDeleteof course they are!? It got ratings so high you can refer to it as "The Mass Effect Controversy" and we all know what you mean!
ReplyDeleteFair and balanced.
ReplyDeletewell, thats interesting
ReplyDeletefox news + idiocy, nuff said
ReplyDeleteThe government already funds video games for training in the military (in many branches), as well as a recruiting tool (America's Army series). So why so mad Fox?
ReplyDeleteStuff like this makes me rage!
ReplyDeleteMy father watches Fox news to try and "figure" them out. I just stay away from that channel entirely.
ReplyDeleteWhy do people still watch fox news?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree, that was pretty pathetic. I've never seen anything that poorly done from Fox before... that was an eye opener.
ReplyDeletenobody said facts are true, i think it's a lot more how you bring them
ReplyDeleteI could not care less about this :D
