FOX Comments Roundup

April 19th, 2011

So. I have said it before and it bears repeating; I do not know how the watchdogs at FoxNewsComments can stand it. It's been a banner month so far for Murdoch's moderators. What have they NOT been deeming inappropriate lately?

Headline: Principal Apologizes For Mock Auction of Black Students in Virginia 



Headline: Mexican Authorities Find Mass Grave Holding 59 Bodies
20 people clicked "like" on this last one.







Sleep tight all you folks who might be foolish enough to think we are living in the 21st Century.

Disgusting Fox Comment Of The Week Award


Feb 2nd, 2011

Once again, it's time to thank the good people over at Fox News Comments for keeping a watchful eye on the very questionable lack of moderation at Murdoch's website. This DFCOTW was for a story under the banner headline:
"Not Known to Be Diet Food, Michelle Obama Hails ‘Great Barbecue’ in N.C."

Fox News Comments

Dec 19th, 2010

Well, it actually was news that The Murdoch Device's viewers have some fairly interesting opinions. Just last week, there were reports about a University of Maryland study that demonstrated the disconnect between their loyal demographic and facts. There has been a response from the network as was reported in the New York Times:
"Asked for comment on the study, Fox News seemingly dismissed the findings. In a statement, Michael Clemente, who is the senior vice president of news editorial for the network, said: “The latest Princeton Review ranked the University of Maryland among the top schools for having ‘Students Who Study The Least’ and being the ‘Best Party School’ – given these fine academic distinctions, we’ll regard the study with the same level of veracity it was ‘researched’ with.”

Figures.

We are adding a link to our Reader's Companion list on the right that is worth checking out. It is simply a watchdog called Fox News Comments. If only as a reminder for progressives to stay motivated and push back, it is well worth a click every couple of days or so. We also are following them on Twitter
