Theres only shit on Thai TV so i have been watching Fox News..
 

:helpme :helpme :helpme

75% of the program is just completely disrespectful Obama bashing.

i feel sorry for the loss of american political culture, i havent seen something like that in any other civilized country

'Murca is NUMBA #1 and don't you forget it. you filthy foreigner.

Must be a shock when you realize that USA isn't the "good guys" huh?

You should also get BBC, Al Jazeera and CNN news channels. Not to mention 4 dedicated movie channels and the Universal Channel. Sci Fi channel ... at least 1 dedicated German language channel ... etc... etc.

The only reason to watch Fox news is you want to :2 cents:

yeah, i know :winkwink:

but i got fascinated by that bullshit

It's a good at riling up the sheep. Fascinating how many people buy into nonsense. Hate and negativity are powerful tools.

there's this show called "The Five" with this Greg Gutfeld - i havent seen someone being so arrogant and so stupid at the same time - he makes me want to throw stuff at the TV

Quit talking about it. You're going to make me want to watch it!

:1orglaugh

It;s not the only news programming here in the states, but it is sad to see that;s all you can get over there. Kind of does make us look crazy and insane.

He must be doing something right, he's eliciting a reaction from you ;) Besides, WTF are you doing watching TV for god sakes?? I thought you were out there banging all the hookers ?:winkwink:

i am sorry, but banging hookers was never my thing - i am boring

Too bad you didn't start tuning in when Glenn Beck was on. That was peak FoxNews comedy right there. heh

becks tv pinnacle was this series.

Are you in Pattaya? Go up to the Hilton in at Central for a sunset cocktail. It's a beautiful sight :thumbsup

been there for dinner 2 days ago, very nice indeed :thumbsup

"Pining for the days of Stalin" gets me every time. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

When I first when to Pattaya I met this kooky cat named Dr. Seuss. He was a freaky old dude, used to love eating green eggs on Soi Buakhao. He turned me on to all sorts of things in Pattaya and taught me how to bang hookers the right way. He had this tattooed on his back:


You can bang them in a box, you can bang them with a fox.
You can bang them in the rain, you can bang them on a train.
You can bang them in a boat, you can bang them with a goat. (my favorite)
You can bang them in a house, you can bang them with a mouse.
You can bang them on Soi 6, you can bang them with raw dicks.
You will bang Pattaya hookers you see. You will bang them all with me!


He said those words were going to make him famous but he needed to clean it up a bit. Not sure what ever happened to the guy.

The news has been "arrogant" and "disrespectful" of sitting presidents in the US for a long long time. It was that way during Reagan, Clinton, and both Bushs. Especially since Clinton. Perhaps you are only seeing it in this light since a news source is being that way towards a President that you like. Then again, like you said, you haven't been exposed to much internal US news.

you are watching a propaganda channel and yes it is against obama. thats how the free press works in america.

I had to give up on True Visions years ago, because of horrible, stupid, terrible tv programming

I agree MaDalton, thai tv is SHIT! :(

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

.

i only watched CNN here and there in the past, especially when some catastrophies were happening

but that a TV station spends 75% of its time to bash a president was new to me

especially hilarious: every second news report started with "fair and balanced" and then 2 minutes later they were back how this is Obamas fault.

thats not a news channel, thats a joke

any 'shit' on tv is good in my book... :2 cents:

i like poo...

There's only shit on any TV...

Oh nooose...
Free speech isn't just for lefties any more!

If you had been watching any of the "news magazine / opinion" shows on CNN, or MSNBC, or CBS, ABC, NBC, etc... for the last 25+ years, you would be seeing the same thing. During Reagan and both Bushs they were constantly blaming the president for everything.... and that's fine. In the US, we have always felt that the politicians are supposed to be working for us, and we have no problem being hyper critical of them.



.

Free speech is great, but why the masquerade of pretending to be a real news channel?

This was kinda funny and sad from today...

Thailand must be boring.

hmmm, ok, then i dont like this in general - no matter which side

i am used to somehow fair debates and at least in german TV there's no bias like that at all. tendencies, sometimes a little, but nothing like that what Fox does (and others)

they have nite clubs? why are you watching tv? :helpme

i must entertain myself while sitting with a beer by the pool

uh, actually, most of this is obama's fault. :winkwink:

when you have a group of people lead by the president tearing down america, its good to have at least one of the big 4 news channels calling them out on it.

he is exaggerating because he is a far-rightist. none of those stations compare with the poison and vitriol that fox news spews.

it is one of the reason american politics is so twisted and their politicians on the right are retarded.

Very little of the Fox News Channel is spent on news. Do you consider the editorial page of your newspaper "news" or do they even allow an editorial section in your newspapers.

For some reason, Thai beer does not sound very appetizing. Am I wrong?

this is what amazes me about this planet... people all over the world watch US news, care about who we vote for etc... but Americans we dont give a shit who you vote for in your coumntry, we dont watch your news and we dont really care one way or the other... I wonder why that is?

I cant imagine normal americans saying "ok, let me watch the news in oslo this morning, or i wonder whats going on in venezuela tribunal today"

lol but people all around world watching fox news? most americans dont even watch the shit LOL

talking heads have always bashed sitting presidents, but usually that's where it ends. i thought bill maher (who i find kinda funny but is annoyingly far left) had an interesting take on why suddenly it seems ok to bash this president to his face in public.

I don't think many watch it, Its just a shock to us dirty foreigners when we catch a glimpse of it. Ive thought similar to Madalton at what ive seen of it.

And why not watch the news of another country? not caring about whats going on in the rest of the world isnt something to boast about :winkwink:

#1, As Fox is the #1 rated news channel, I think it is safe to assume that more American's watch Fox than the others combined.

#2. When I am in EU I do watch the local news. I may not always understand the words, but with the video it is not too difficult to figure out what they are talking about.

#3. I suspect some foreigners watch Fox (or any other English speaking news station) to help improve their English. I have friends that learned English by watching the news (and cartoons).

Foxnews requires you to think that they're just the right wing equal of what they insist is left wing media (regular media that's not fox fits this category). Luckily it's painfully easy to see through it as you found out. Bullies always try to say "they started it".

my comment was specifically about people in america watching foreign news :thumbsup

im willing to bet there are very very very few americans watching chinese news stations (unless they are immigrants themselves)

many americans dont even watch the news. so popularity of network is not what i referenced, i meant in general... my mom tv stays on lifetime 24/7 lol and i havent watched tv since saints superbowl haha

then they need to call it the "Fox Democrats Slashing Channel" instead. What use is a news channel that doesnt do news


yes. it's actually pretty good. and i am from a beer country and live in another

lol.... wow !!!!!

Most people outside the USA are interested in world events and news. Only about 20% of Americans have a passport.

""For decades we've been reading about how American schoolchildren can't find Mexico or Canada on a map, and yet nothing seems to change," says Ransdell. "These people who don't know the difference between Switzerland and Swaziland then become the main consumers of news. And in poll after poll they tell us that they want less foreign news and more of what I call 'selfish journalism' -- which stocks to buy, sex and beauty tips, 10 steps to a healthier colon and so on. It becomes this horrible feedback loop where people are sent out of our schools in a state of complete ignorance of the rest of the world and then, maybe because they're embarrassed, clamor for even less information on something they know almost nothing about."

Orville Schell, dean of the journalism school at the University of California at Berkeley, says that while "Americans are ever more involved in the world and ever less knowledgeable about it," it's the bosses at U.S. media companies who deserve the blame. "The broadcast media has decided to cut back on foreign news coverage in its infinitely craven efforts to pander to the largest and the lowest common denominator. This last week we've seen what the broadcast media is capable of when they're let out of the constraints of ratings and the bottom line mentality. I'm hearing journalists saying 'Wow, this past two weeks we felt dignified again. We're able to do what we want to do and know how to do. We had the time and the resources and the suits were off our backs.""

37% of Americans can't find America on a map of America

.. Watching just to make sure our country is not up next on the liberation mission ....

I did not say they do not do news, but they are not CNN Headline News. They are a commentary station with a spattering of news thrown in.

And yeah, even though Germans think their beer is all that, very little of it is. ;)

Is Thai beer like a light pilsner or can you get good hoppy brews too?

you dont think theres left-leaning media? have you ever watched MSNBC? or the nightly news on any of the big networks besides Fox?

i feel like its pretty much balanced, because Fox News is unabashedly right to a ridiculous degree, but only because theyre a one-off and pretty much the only place to go on tv if thats what you want to watch. all the left leaning outlets are far more subversive about their politics, but there are a SHITLOAD of them to choose from.

Left leaning is one thing, totally off the hook right wing pocket pal is another.

I should note that I recently got rid of my cable tv anyway. Too much money for too little content.
