The thread did originally have the more informative and serious title "Norwegian party, FRP calls for Norwegian version of Fox news" or something along those lines.FalloutJack said:
I figured I'd change it to something that'd get the thread a couple more views.
Norway is asking for Fox News?
That's like going to a brothel and asking specifically for the girl with herpes.

Yes because the world needs more bullshit. "News" programs out there fail to convey any sort of relevant information to the viewer opting instead to entertain those who choose to tune in. This is why whenever a scientists suspects there might be evidence of life on mars every single news outlet in the world will have a big headline saying "LIFE ON MARS FOUND!".
You clearly do not know Norwegian politics, and perhaps not even conservative politics at all. Breivik attacked the AP youth organization because of their liberal approach to immigration. To attribute his conservative radicalism to leftist manners seems very reactionary to me, a futile attack against the left. I know many leftists are idiots, but at least they are useful idiots and do not support entirely an idiotic direction which is backwards.Blablahb said:
While I'm not a supporter of Fox News in ANY way, I can however acknowledge that the left has isn't own zealots...the problem is that even the zealots seems to be partially reasonable, unlike Fox who can't be swayed and believe that taxing poor people and cutting public programs is the way to "pave america to a golden future"...it makes me mad listening to them, and I'm from Canada.
John Stewart explained it very well when he was interviewed in Fox. No other news network has the same right-wing agenda that channel has. Some are trying to achieve a left-wing variant, but Fox is still in a category of its own. The problem with calling it "good for democracy" is that part of the idea of a news station that is not in any kind of government other than democracy is that it is free to say what it wants, but is appreciated best without any bias. It's unavoidable, but CNN and other networks, while obviously being left-wing, do not have the same agenda of trying to convince you through false facts and fallacies that their point of view is the correct one, and most of the time show both sides of the story. Read: objectivity.
I disdain Fox News with a passion. There's a difference between being right wing and just being poison. If it's true that Norway doesn't have a right wing newspaper then I believe that it's only fair they do indeed get one.
However, I find it just a bit fucking funny that the best place in the world doesn't even have a conservative newspaper. If I wanted to I could even use the fallicious argument that it's because a country has the right wing that they suck.
