If FOX news ignoring the Nigerian terrorist attempt

[JimH52]

So I turn on FOX last night, after watching non-stop coverage on the terrorist attempt on CNN, and Bill O was conducting some kind of game show with other FOX host on celebrity spouses. Then I turned FOX on later and they were covering Charlie Sheene and another domestic violence arrest. This morning they were covering health care reform.

Finally, they interview the internationally famous terrorism expert, Karl "I helped a Chimp be elected" Rove. His insight was just sooo deep.

Is it just me or is FOX trying to ignore a failed terrorism attempt. Had he been successful, FOX would be trumpeting the news!

And if Fox News had covered it as extensively as CNN, they would have been accused of "fear mongering". Everybody's a critic.

 

[JimH52]

Had he been successful, it would have been non-stop coverage. or as you said, fear mongering.

 

[chanel]

That would certainly be bigger news than Michael Jackson. I'm getting on a plane tomorrow out of Phila. which is a security nightmare on a good day.

It appears the the media, on both sides, has become as cut throat as any politician. If there is an advantage to be made, they will make it.

Fox covered it when it was breaking news...CNN didn't pick it up until it was old hat....too bad you are too fucking stupid to tune in to news when it's actually happening.

Of course they did! Then when they found it is was a failure, they started showing Bill O, the pervert, and his silly game show. Karl Rove, the terrorism expert!

I suppose you wanted the device to work right you sick fuck? Just so you could start a thread about how Fox would be fear mongering by covering it 24/7.

Grow up!

FAUX Noise only "reports" what they think is going to be entertaining for the people who adore Limp Idiot and the Wasilla Chihuahua.

But then again............some people are easily distracted. If you're a FAUX News viewer, please stay indoors when it's raining.........

We don't want to see you drown yourselves like a bunch of turkeys.

Yes, it was a failure but not because somebody stopped him. It was a failure because his device failed, or he failed to set it off properly. We got lucky.

Yeah......when Bush was in office (according to Dana Perino), there were no attacks on America (other than 9/11 of course, but according to her, that didn't count).

Cheney, Rove and Bush Jr. have been saying that the only reason we've not been attacked yet, is because we've been lucky and following the procedures of Bush Jr. and Cheney.

Obama started to undo some of the wrong bullshit done by the last admin, and Cheney and the others have been squeaking that we're gonna be attacked again, because there are no safety procedures in place.

Obama has stopped several, and oh yeah.........let's not forget about his decision with the Somali pirates.

Do we know if he was on the "no fly" list or not?

 

[JimH52]

I heard he was on the "watch list" but not the "no fly" list....????

 

[Missourian]

I heard he was on the "watch list" but not the "no fly" list....????

That's what I heard too. He wasn't deemed important enough to make the 'no fly' list.

How can someone with this name be overlooked?

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab

 

[ABikerSailor]

According to what I'd seen on the news this morning, he was on the watch list because he'd had one incident that made him a person to be watched, but according to Homeland Security, one doesn't do it.

You have to have more than one incident to be on the no fly list.

But, then again, what else could you expect from that major abortion of government bureaucracy known as Homeland Security?

Here in the States, that name can be noticed easily. However, go to Saudi, Dubai, or any other middle east country, and it becomes almost as common as Robert Wilson is over here, because it's a fairly common name over there.
