What the fuck is wrong with these people?

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

I get that people are upset about the bill in Wisconsin but you have NO RIGHT to heckle a reporter doing his job and screaming FOX NEWS LIES! Like that's ever gonna accomplish anything!


GOOD GOD PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS!

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

People have every right to do that. The press isn't the only group of people with the right to express their feelings on subjects.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Not when they do everything possible to try and interrupt a live broadcast. Even hitting the reporter.

 

[Coco]

I bet you would be singing a different tune if he were heckling MSNBC.

Fifteen minutes saved.

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

Hitting a reporter is wrong, yes. But screaming Fox News lies break's absolutely no laws or moral values.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

No I won't. It's a horribly immoral thing to do regardless of who works for who.

 

[Thriller Ant]

If anyone did anything wrong, it was the reporter for openly insulting the guy. It doesn't matter how unprofessional your interview subject is, you have to stay professional.

Then again, it's Fox News, so when have they ever cared about journalistic integrity?

 

[Thriller Ant]

No I won't. It's a horribly immoral thing to do regardless of who works for who.

Immoral?

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

Is it any more immoral than slandering against other groups of people like every source of media seems to do.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

Actually, they do have every right to yell at whomever they want to. You're just mad because it was Fox News.

Hitting? No.
Heckling? Yes.

 

[UltimateHitman]

Yeah, the hitting is wrong. On the flip side, though, if people can't get their voices heard, sometimes heckling or yelling things (especially if it's on a live broadcast) is the only way.

And another thing, the reporter, if insulting somebody that hit him (haven't seen the vid, don't know which came first) is only human too. You can only put up w/so much ignorance before you sometimes blow your top.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

If FNC is going to take an ideological stance, and they have, these people have the right to call them liars. Hitting people, no. That's wrong. The Tea Party did the same shit to CNN reporters, and most of the time the correspondent hadn't said anything yet. It happens on both sides, and to me, these people who had to endure that Tea Party shit for two years are absolutely allowed to hit back.

I'd like to make the point that Doug's face is immoral.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

I'd like to make the point that Doug's face is immoral.

I'd like to make the point that nobody gives a shit about what you think.

 

[justinsayne]

I'd like to make the point that Doug's face is immoral.

Is that why he's always trying to hide in his palm?

 

[JGlass]

I'd like to make the point that nobody gives a shit about what you think.

I'd like to make it a point that literally nobody gives a shit about what you think.

And last I checked Fox News was freedom of speech central. So according to Fox News it's okay to make semi-racist comments on the air but not to criticize a journalist's integrity? Interesting. Here's my alternative point of view.

so I'm full of shit when I condemn the morons for trying everything possible to interrupt a legitimate live broadcast?

 

[JGlass]

Bingo

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Bingo

Wow.... Just Wow. I'm not gonna even dignify that with a response.

 

[Thriller Ant]

It's cute how you completely ignored his point there.

Wow.... Just Wow. I'm not gonna even dignify that with a response.

...and this would be a response. Swing and a miss

 

[JGlass]

Doug, I hate to break it to you, but you and dignity go together just about as well as ammonia and bleach.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

You can condemn anybody you want to, but you can't say "they don't have the right," because you'd be wrong.

You also have the freedom to write to your local congressperson and ask them to propose a constitutional amendment to congress that would prohibit people from "interrupting live Fox News broadcasts," and assuming your local congressperson is a Tea Party-backed Republican, you might just have some success in that area.

But until that happens, you don't really get to decide on peoples' rights.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Wow.... Just Wow. I'm not gonna even dignify that with a response.

uh

then what was the you just posted

 

[Thriller Ant]

I think we are all ignoring the most important part of this story:

The guy yelling about Fox lying was telling the truth. http://mediamatters.org/blog/201102100007

 

[Shocky]

Anonymous Source = not legit.

Besides, I still don't get all the hate on Fox News. MSNBC does the same exact thing, yet gets none of the garbage that people pile on Fox.
