That’s the lesson Fox News and a self-help author learned this week after a program on that channel featured a discussion of the sexual content of the hit video game Mass Effect. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/26/arts/television/26mass.html?_r=3&ref=arts&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin As written on Tim Absath (CTRL-ALT-DEL) blog. "It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside."  | ||

This is talking about the game Mass Effect. She answers "No, I haven't played it before." So people go to Amazon.com and bombard her books with horrible reviews, sometimes noting "I haven't actually read it." It's sad that people are childish enough to do this, and it's worse that broadcasting companies actually take that kind of stuff into account (spamming is what it takes to make someone listen? WTF?). | ||

Attention was needed. That's what did it. I don't think it could have gone any other way. | ||

This situation is pathetic on many levels. Fox has long ago thrown away any sort of credibility a long time ago. Their stories are never researched. They always attach their own opinions and spin to stories. I don't know why they still call Fox News by that name; people watch it for entertainment, not news. Pathetic. And yet people forget this, and spend their time insulting and spamming a fiction producer for producing fiction. Again pathetic. | ||
