Obviously, no one here actually watches Fox News.

The Aussies are funny, but their editing is hardly "Fair and Balanced."

I'm not a fan of Geraldo Rivera, but in the clip that the Aussie's showed, the man pictured was the pedophile, John Evander Couey, who murdered a young girl, Jessica Marie Lunsford, by burying her alive in his backyard.

It wouldn't be necessary to mention that fact in explaining Rivera's sentiments if all you intended to do was to smear a network and get a laugh.

People watch Fox News because for all the network's faults, it is the best at balanced reporting. I'm not talking about the opinion shows, but the hard news.

Anyone who watches Fox News and has been around long enough to have had to live with only the major broadcast network news and who has watched the other cable news networks knows this.

But, of course, you have to actually watch the network to know this, otherwise all you know is what the comedians tell you.

In a videotaped and recorded deposition which later was thrown out by his Florida trial court (see below), he admitted to sexually assaulting Lunsford in his bedroom.[2] The admission stated that she was kept in his bed that evening, where he raped her again in the morning. It further stated that Couey put her in his closet and ordered her to remain there, which she did as he reported for work at "Billy's Truck Lot".[1] Lastly, the admission recounted that three days after he abducted her, Couey bound the child's wrists together with speaker wire, placed her in a garbage bag, placed the bag containing her inside another garbage bag and buried her alive in a shallow grave, where she suffocated to death. Because Couey had asked for an attorney before being interrogated but was not given one, his trial court threw out this statement as being obtained in violation of Couey's Sixth Amendment right to counsel and right to due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment.

On March 19, 2005, police found Lunsford's body at a residence located on West Sparrow Court, buried in a hole approximately 2 1/2' deep and 2' circular, covered with leaves. The body was removed from the ground and transported to the coroner's office. Her body had undergone "moderate" to "severe" decomposition and according to the publicly released autopsy reports was skeletonized on 2 fingers that Lunsford had poked through the bags before suffocating to death. The coroner ruled that death would have happened even in best circumstances within 2-3 minutes from lack of oxygen.

If you liked this one, you should def. check out some of their other stuff! It's really hillarious.

Just type "the chaser" or "the chasers war on everything" on youtube.

Here are some other funny clips:



The Chaser's War On Everything examines how security responds to an American tourist recording a video as opposed to someone dressed "slightly differently".




In this clip the guys tries to enter the APEC-conference dressed as Osama Bin Laden..They actually gets pretty far inside the lockdown area where G.W Bush stays.


Enjoy!

well, maybe they twisted the truth a bit, but the point is that in context this is what fox news(and others) does, just not in that big of a scale..

It's not nice to call members of ATS names like that and furthermore, it is expected that posters will explain themselves unequivocally.
