Coupland opines:
Quote:This is absolutely amazing to me. Can you guys even step out of the box for a moment and see what's going on? Who's really buying everything the corporate machine is selling.
Ignorance makes me more angry than hate.
This has NOTHING to do with ignorance, Coupland. Sorry you missed that.
This has EVERYTHING to do with FOX's miserable attempt at getting an untruth into their paper, because as straight satire, the article was extremely unfunny. So, if the whole thing was a parody, why is the author, Carl Cameron, apologizing? I thought it was the editors who decided what went in and what stayed out? And why apologize for something that was intended as humor to being with?
You really need to buy a clue here. Dan Rather got burned by a man who despised Bush and did something so egregious in modern journalism that it has now permanently tainted the business (IMO).
If you consider yourself a free thinker, than freely rent (or buy) Oufoxed at Outfoxed.com, and you'll see for yourself, by testimonials of former FOX employees who decided not to play the game, the policies and methods that FOX uses in promoting their one-sided Republican talking points.
FOX shamelessly takes it to a whole new level, and has been for a while now.
If you want good satire, read theonion.com, or watch John Stewart's Daily Show. Now THAT'S good satire.
THIS is why people such as myself get our "panties in a knot." The fact that you used that hysterical phrase speaks volumes.
