piers Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think Fox is trying to make up for the mistake. They are currently at the additions for the Halloween Horror Nights interviewing the talent that will be part of The Rockey Horror Picture Show. Its Rocky Horror's Media launch day today so I would imagine they were going anyway.. Also, yes, Fox 11 News is AMAZING! They dance to techno music through the weather reports!

jamesdillaman Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 ^ It's still a Fox affiliate. So Fox 11 News is correct. And to be fair, fact-checker ranks Fox News (as a network) lowest of all the cable news channels. Just saying... It's best to get your news from newspaper sources, such as the AP or other traditional journalistic sources. All the 24-hour news channels do is rereport the traditional journalists stories anyway. They rarely have their own journalists covering news events. -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capitalize Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 ^ Exactly, Fox 11 News is correct. Like I said, I'm nitpicking and I'll drop it after this; but I do agree with you for the most part.

Jew Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 ^ Correct. It's the local affiliate. Rupert Murdoch has nothing to do with it except the name.She probably had an underlying condition (faint heart or something) and the ride triggered something fatal. Either that or the T-res ate her. I love the speculation without any details. Then it turns out to be wrong! Actually, this one is owned and operated by FOX... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 ^It's likely a preexisting condition that caused her to faint. Dehydration or fear of dinosaurs? If you visit a doctor, they can inform you of all your pre-existing conditions. Or so I've heard from a reliable source somewhere around these parts.

At least Fox 11 corrected themselves where if any other company such as NBC or CNN would've reported on this, they would've just forgot about it. Most newspapers aren't really honest either since some only report one side of the story (such as the Reading Eagle) mostly on the liberal side. I could go farther into the issue, but I don't feel like it and don't need to since I don't want this to turn into a big flame war. EDIT: Believe it or not, Fox News has much better ratings than CNN and NBC so I wouldn't really criticize them for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccron10 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 ^Those shows are classics. Let me rephrase that. Most newspapers and networks focus on a one-side opinion and sometimes put their own opinion into the story instead of letting the reader and viewer decide their own opinion. There's nothing wrong with being a liberal or conservative, but it just feels like some news networks just try to force their opinion down their throats. Getting back on topic. This is nothing new with news stories getting updated. Some stories start out worse than they really are once more news comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercules Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I met Manute Bol once. He did a speech at my college in regard to one of the organizations he started in his home land. He was a really nice guy. It is too bad he turned more into a circus freak rather than an NBA star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PriestofSyrinx Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 This is a very serious mistake! Even with making up their mistake, They still broke the number one rule "DONT SCREW UP BIG NEWS!" I am really upset that the affiliate did not check up the facts before broadcasting. Its like saying " Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital, so that must mean he's dead!" then later " Oh he is not dead". I only used that example because no one knew if he was dead or not for about four hours!
