Watching the Fox News Channel (on purpose) should only be done by the very
brave: I think that their programming can actually account for ninety percent of all
cases of sudden cranial hemorrhaging (SCH).

For anyone who hasn't seen the story in question, Fox News ran a segment analyzing
Mass Effect and its power to destroy America's children. Now, when I think of credible
journalism, the Fox News Channel is something that never enters my pretty little head for
any reason... but the lies!

I'm not sure what game Fox News was playing, but I don't remember any 'full digital nudity'
or 'graphic sex' in Mass Effect. Did I miss it? Was this some sort of hidden achievement?

No, it wasn't. It was a lie.

I put over 40 hours into Mass Effect. If there was anything in that game even close
what Fox News said, I've obviously missed something.

One thing I haven't missed is that Fox News has been overrun by Nazis Of Credibility,
who are always willing to tell outright lies for a spike in their ratings. Don't forget, these are
the same people who let the clinically insane 'Wacko Jacko' Thompson on national
television for the sole purpose of capitalizing on the deaths of innocent people in the
Virginia Tech shootings. I'm sure that when the news broke, all the Fox News anchors
started rubbing their hands together in sick glee.



Thankfully, people are taking action against this latest breach in news journalism and the
standards it should carry. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope Microsoft sues
somebody for this. EA should be putting each and every single one of their
lawyers to work on this, but they chose to take the high road and simply ask for a
retraction.

Yeah, like that will ever happen.

Cooper Lawrence, author of some book, put her two cents into Fox News's report by adding
another string of lies about video games and the people who play them. At least Geoff
Keighley was there to provide some factual balance. Unfortunately, Cooper and her
verbal diarrhea could not stopped.

"... And the research says there's a new study out of University of Maryland right now
that says that boys who play video games cannot tell the difference between what
seeing in the video game and the real world if they don't have a real experience."

Poppycock. What a load of tripe.
