NBC cuts out part of the Pledge of Allegience during opening montage at US Open
- Thread starter HAWK22
- Start date
Didn't they leave out "indivisible" as well? If so, then it's not so much the same "Under God" debate we've been hearing for a while. It's more just upsetting that they didn't put the entire pledge in their video.
Now, if I disagree with someone I will be accused of calling the others side "wrong and simple-minded"? *shrugs*"
nhelpful rhetoric"? That might be the most fatuous thing I've read today, but what does it even mean? Do I now have to be more helpful in my "rhetoric", with tips on getting the most out of your dollar, best beaches in America, and where to find the shift key on a keyboard?
And I did not question the intelligence of anyone - just pointed out that it would probably be big on Fox (turns out it was #2 on most read - I can't tell on most commented, but at 3,666 comments I'll bet it is holding its own...and there is also a video about it under "Political Videos?"). So far my predictions are coming true; we will have to see if it is brought up by any of the talking heads I referenced. Granted, this is a perfect fit for Fox, in that they spend 10% of their time talking about the other news networks (and how they don't report a particular story!!), 30% criticizing the Dems, 30% on how X or Y are taking away our rights/religious freedom/the 2nd amendment/ etc. The other 30% is salacious stories involving nudity, car chases, or celebrities (actually, my favorite part of Fox, other than the super hot female anchors they have).
I'll throw in a "JMHO", if that makes you feel better. And a smiley -
Oh, and random Megan Kelly shot, too-
Its not your disagreement with people - its the arrogant, condescending, and smart ass tone you use every time you do.
To many people this is cause for concern from a mainstream network, however, I'll stand by my assumption that it was an oversight and that their apology was genuine... You calling the problem "minor" and using hyperbole to describe legitimate reactions from people you don't agree with is amateur. Making the leap that people who have a problem with what happened during the tourney yesterday must be, by default be FNC junkies is also short sighted. Further, your breakdown and summary of FNC can also be used to describe that of almost every other cable news provider out there. For the record, I detest FNC - as well as people who use two dollar words when a nickle would suffice (blovate, fatuous? really?) JMHO and smilies not required.
You have concerns about my smart-ass tone? On this forum? I'll take a line from squeeze, a couple of posts up:
"If your world view and self esteem are so sensitive that this actually bothers you, you need a hobby."
As for my earlier post:
"Especially venting over something so minor (though I'm guessing it is part of the "Top Read" and "Top Commented" sections of Faux News' website). And, I'm guessing, we will see some bloviating from O'Reilly/Hannity/Palin about the godless media."
A quick read shows no hyperbole - just calling it minor (which I still think it is - and my opinion is just as "legitimate" as anyone else's), and a hyperbole-free, (and quickly becoming true) observation about how it will be spun by Fox. Don't think I said that the OP was a Fox watcher, or anyone else for that matter.
Oddly, others have discounted the concerns of people who take issue with the omission, but they don't trip your trigger (hell, someone says "Who gives a fuck?", and I see nothing from you...curious, yet me saying minor lights you up). My advice is either debate the actual facts with me and grow a thicker skin, or just ignore me and move on.
And I think we have beat this to death - feel free to pm me, if you desire.
