It seems a lot of Pagans are pissed about this. As an advocate of free speech and opponent of media fascism, I don't want Fox News to be censored, nor do I want any empty apologies forced out of them. Let them display their ignorance.
I cannot figure out how to post youtube videos, in spite of the fact that I've seen you all spell it out before, so here's the link.

I heard a lot of personal opinions being broadcasted there and only little facts. I think that these anchors need to familiarize themselves with what they're reporting before making themselves look foolish. Though, from what I hear, Fox News seems to be pro at that anyway.

He sounds so smug at 0:10
Back in High School I had a teacher who was such a huge conservative that he made us watch 30 minutes of Fox News every class. I gained a whole new level of hatred for Fox that year. I didn't think it could frustrate me any more than it already did. Then I saw this.
Buncha self righteous, intellectually dishonest, obnoxious dicks as far as I'm concerned. I have absolutely no respect for their organization.

The woman at 1:30ish refers to recognizing pagan holidays as "anti-tradition". The holidays celebrated by pagans are much older than the holidays celebrated by mainstream christianity. Talk about irony.
I'm more offended by their abuse of media, voicing their ignorant, uneducated opinions on a NEWS network. Voice your opinions elsewhere... twitter, facebook, hell buy a goddamn Fox Opinion Network. but keep the news network for news, for facts. and leave the ignorance out of it. I know the news has always juiced up stories to try to make them more interesting, and slightly misleading people even while providing the facts... why are they allowed to voice personal opinions? its their job to provide us with news, not propaganda.... or antipaganda?

Agreed. If they want a soapbox to stand on that ought to be the kind of show they have, not their biased, uneducated opinions masqueraded as news. But then, Facebook wouldn't pay them to go off on tangents.Originally Posted by Dufonce

Yup, that's totally how I chose my religion - the number of holidays it involved.

Any press is good press, even bad press.
I especially like the part where we are being controlled by the whatsit agendas.
Yes, but those are not AMERICAN traditions. As we all know this Country was founded, by Fundamentalist Christian Conservatives, to be a Christian Nation.
Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.
I am so sorry, I forgot that all of the founding fathers were pro-life, anti-gay Christians whose example we should all follow, lest the country fall into the hands of atheists and *gasp* lesbians.
Actually, I thought it was hilarious - like watching an American version of "An Idiot Abroad," using smug sophists in place of the looser.
Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
