Fox Business Criticizes Studio Ghibli's Latest

[LostintheWick]

People just want the right to be selfish without looking like a villian.

Teaching kids to respect our only home and environment at a young age is a good thing. Even if you like to litter, you can still appreciate your neighbors trying to take care of the neighborhood.

 

[Urameshi13]

Oooh, somebody is dissing something I like or has a different opinion than me, I'm going to personally insult him.

What a hack thing to do. Have fun never being taken seriously.

 

[Wintermoot]

BREAKING NEWS!
FOX IS RUN BY RIGHT WING DIPSHITS!
I,m not insulting people that support the right wing (I don't agree with them) but these idiots are saying that kids movies brainwash people!

 

[Wintermoot]

I'm amazed.
How are they even getting away with calling themselves a news show?
Their bias is not only obvious, they flaunt it with pride.
This shit isn't news.
It's propaganda.

they aren't a news show right?
this is comedy like The Onion right?

 

[rayen020]

has anyone posted this yet?


You can't take them seriously just watch fox like it's truTV or something.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

Oh, Faux Noose. You so crazy.

I swear, they're reminding me of the stereotype of the paranoid village idiot nobody really cares about but everyone would loathe to see leave, because there's nobody else quite like them in the world, which makes them so special.

I just wish you could take the entire network, put it in a vacuum and let it jabber on about EVIL LIBERAL AGENDAS until it finally sinks in that they've lost all credibility ages ago.

Just about the only thing I watched Fox for was cartoons and Deep Space Nine, as a kid.

After this commercial break we'll be back with our news team's analysis of the Republican debates. If they can ever stop laughing.

Oh did they NOT try to diss Studio Ghibli??!!!!

What next? They going to complain about one of Pixar films had a sinister secret agenda hidden in the film????

Man the warmachines! We shall not let them slander Ghibli.

I'm surprised Finding Nemo was never targetted for showing animals attacking a private business owner. What's that? He was Australian? Never mind, screw him.

OT: I know I should laugh it off, but something still pisses me off whenever Fox News 'reports' on this sort of thing. They're the one troll which gets a rise out of me. Haven't seen the Lorax, but saw Arrietty and thought it was actually one of Ghibli's less environmentally-focused works, especially compared with stuff like Ponyo, Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa.

 

[MyNameIsNowNotMyName]

...well? Sorry to be a low-content post, but hasn't this happened before...? Like, lots of times?

 

[MyNameIsNowNotMyName]

As a Brit, can some Americans explain why being a liberal is as bad as **** punting an old woman? "Oh noes, this film says be nice to the enviroment PROTECT THE CHILDREN! BURN THE FILM!"

"Are you thinking of helping your fellow man Timmy?" "Yes, Pa." "That's the wrong thing to do son! You should stomp them into the dirt and climb to the top on their bodies!"

Yeah... There's nothing actually wrong with being a liberal if you're a liberal, but if you're a conservative shit-storm show, like Fox, it is. Not that all conservatives are as wrong as Fox News mind you...

 

[Weaver]

So why is protecting the environment bad again? I'm not a saintly, pollution free kind of guy; but I do what I can within by budget. I drive a fuel efficient car, recycle and turn off lights when I'm not using them.

I just don't see why not destroying the eivonment; you know the thing that keeps the planet running, is a bad thing. I also really doubt Ghibli is going to portray anything as bad as say, Captain Planet did. He was fighting (literally) capitalists who raped the environment for profit. It doesn't get any more obvious than that, and that's the stuff we grew up with.

With a dramatic shift to the right in the political discourse of America, Fox News has had to shift further and further right to be able to hold attention of their viewers. They went over the derp end ages ago.

 

[MB202]

Oh just die already, Fox News.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Can someone explain to me in a logical smart way (without hurting my brain) WHY THE FUCK FOX NEWS IS STILL AROUND?

 

[Palademon]

I love how Fox News quite openly thinks things are an evil "agenda" if they promote fairness, sharing, and thinking of the environment...

Seriously, Fox News, I want you people to take a moment to write down what you believe, andread it, and then consider whether you'd still think you're right if you were one of the memebers of the "occupy" movement. If you think you'd stick to your beliefs of "We have no job because we obviously don't deserve them", you are talking out your ass.

 

[Treblaine]

I'd love to hear what Fox News' take on Bioshock is. I suspect a potent combination of outrage and arousal.

 

[Gigano]

Well, I hear that there are a ton of churches trying to brainwash more or less crazy values into young children, surely that's something you should report o...

Oh, it's only bad when you believe liberals are doing it?

I see.

Breaking news, Jack! Not satisfied with attacking Dr. Seuss and Studio Ghibli, the Republicans have moved on to the Girl Scouts [http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/21/10469492-lawmaker-radical-girl-scouts-out-to-destroy-american-family-values], with claims of hidden feminist, lesbian, and communist agendas.

I hate being fair to Fox even though I haven't seen Arrietty, but given most Ghibli fims, comments about blatent liberal agendas and environmentalism aren't surprising in the least. He'd probably lose his shit over Laputa, Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke.

The one thing about Princess Monoke though, was that it, at least to me, made a very clear attempt to portray both sides of the argument fairly. The workers who were destroying the forest weren't demonized, they were just people making their living. One of the lasting feelings I got out of Monoke, though I doubt Fox would agree, was that there isn't always an easy answer.
