THobern Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 "Dino shark tooth" - I'm going to lose sleep over that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cousin it Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I can't believe that they included Tiktaalik, and described it as an intermediate form between fish and amphibians that lived 375 million years ago. Wow, just wow! Apparently, the producers over there aren't as brain dead as some of the hosts of "Fox and Friends". http://soliussymbiosus.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakaritai Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) I can't believe that they included Tiktaalik, and described it as an intermediate form between fish and amphibians that lived 375 million years ago. Wow, just wow! Apparently, the producers over there aren't as brain dead as some of the hosts of "Fox and Friends". I would be willing to bet that such comments were rote. I would be very surprised if they didn't copy it verbatim from wherever they got the information. Granted, I wouldn't expect journalists to know much about the subject in the first place. After all, it is Fox. Take the dino shark tooth comment... yep. They're clueless. It is a perfect example of the media in general, and Fox in particular, of exaggerating or altering stories to make them more appealing (and profitable) at the cost of truth as of late. The problem is getting worse constantly. It is all making us get even dumber even faster. I rarely watch anything FOX because of that, but the other news orgs are fast approaching, I must say.

Well, it is Murdoch. News Corp. has been a joke among journalists for years. Objectivism? Sure. Have you seen the latest "Sun", "Sunday Times", "News of the World", or "Fox NewsFaux News" lately? Yeah, it is a joke... Edited May 6, 2010 by cousin it http://soliussymbiosus.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
