geraldo/fox presenting "tragedy at sea" on sat at 10pm

[H82seaUgo]

should be less biased than abc. i don`t think they own a boat yet.

[michelle1836]

ah Geraldo, I hope no one punches him in the nose this time

We all know Fox is the least biased news organization out there! (I just threw up in my mouth a little when I said that).

 

I'll DVR both and see what they say.

 

Here is my prediction of the focus of the stories:

 

20/20 story: cruising isn't nearly as safe as people think it is - go through Costa incident, bring up sexual assaults at sea, maybe some Star fire footage, people overboard - and go to drunken parties on deck. They will finish with the fact that you can find some cruise lines that are safe - particularly if you can find a line geared towards families - possibly even one that intentionally has a large rodent on board.

 

Fox story: you will die if you cruise. expert will be that ambulance-chasing, cruise-hating attorney with the 'news' site.

Maybe it's a set-up so he can dive for the safe and reveal it on live tv!

Would not watch Fox if you put a gun to my head.

Lying and making s*** up in a different direction does not make you a 'balance' to CNN, MSNBC, etc.

Doubtful since the news reports say the captain made time to empty out the safe before tripping into a lifeboat. Maybe he tripped on a chain made from inch of gold colored metal. ;)

I think you nailed it.

then you won't know the sinking was not caused by george bush.

While I agree, I will also not watch CNN or MSNBC as they are just as bad just the opposite views.

[vtwoodchucks]

Geraldo! anytime he is on I change the channel.

[micro yaya]

so the mainstream media is fair and balanced. funny you can always tell how someone votes by the remarks they make, before they put their foot in their mouth

Maybe he'll find Al Capone's real safe this time:D

maybe. i still can't believe i got sucked into that and watched it! :eek:

Which post on here said that the mainstream media is fair and balanced? I missed it. It has just been implied that Fox isn't.

 

Funny you can always tell how someone votes when they get offended by comments about Fox News.;)

And yet Geraldo is about as liberal minded as any reporter out there.:rolleyes:

 

And I was going to use the "Al Capone" line until somebody beat me to it!:p

Poor Geraldo. No matter what he accomplishes, he is never going to shake that Al Capone special. It is his legacy now.

 

My deal with news is that I want to hear the news reported. I do not want to hear the network's or anchor's opinion about it. I can form my own opinions.

 

To the news outlets: Just give me the facts, not your spin.

100% agree! dont care to hear the views of any actors or any type of entertainers views of polictics either.

And as I recall there was some equally over hyped thing he did on Houdini, but the details seem to escape my memory.

 

Maybe John Stossel will come along and have Mike Shermer and the Skeptics sort this out for us.

[Indianaseadog]

Why not just have Hannity and Oberman fight it out. Then it will be balanced....may not be accurate on either side but balanced!:D

2 wrongs don't make a middle.:p

The Captain was aboard a minisub that sunk the ship with a torpedo. I know I read that somewhere.

 

 

 

More exploitation for profit.

[H82seaUgo]

Just a reminder...

[maldenmusic]

hmmmm......Fox and Geraldo.....think I'll watch just to see how they mis-report the situation then make sure I shower :D

Must have been true, as it was in print, if you read it somewhere!;)

I looked on my TV guide and none of my Fox channels show this anytime tonight. Any other suggestions? I kind of wanted to watch it and see what kind of mis-information it gave?
