Thats exactly why the criticism of Fox news is all f***ed up. EVERY news organization, and I'm not being hyperbolic, has an editorial slant. People just rant about Fox because they slant right. I get my news from a lot of different sources, and the hard news coverage on Fox is no more skewed than it is on CNN, the NBC nightly news, the local paper, etc.

during the war in lebanon fox's website had the heading "Islamist terrorists complain about 'unjust war'"

Go in and read it and it was Muslims from all over the world condeming Israels actions.

Can you really call that unbiased?

Yes,its no more biased than all the negative press Israel was getting despite the fact it was Hezbollah that assulated the Israelie military and Leabanon that violated a UN resolution.

Besides, a link would be nice.

Im not gonna go trawling through websites just to prove something i know is true. Israel were the ones at fault. Lebanon was infairly punished, and Fox News was too ignorant to even give that side of the story, a good news channal like four news, or even BBC news, gives both sides.

You can't possibly make a post like that and claim to be open minded.

Israel was at fault for livig up to its end of the resolution by vacating land that they only occupied in the first place because they were assulated?

Israel was at fault for Hezzbolah kidnapping its soldiers?

Israel was at fault for Hezzbolah mixing civilian and military targets?

This is the wrong thread, go onto the right one if you want to argue about that situation. Hezzbolah were at fault, but Israels actions were alot worse than the provocation.

Back on topic suggesting a Muslim only airplane thing is utterly rediculous and would just inspire the terrorists to make the next terrorist a sweet old lady, who doesnt look like a Muslim extremist.

The issue here is not that someone on a left sided news channel said this. I hate Fox for allowing this guy to say these things!!!

I hate all news channels bc of the bias to one side or the other, but I don't think that a channel should be supportitng the veiws of this guy.

I've heard somewhere that the percentage of terrorist attacks on
America has been from Americans, but I am yet to find a link to prove that, so I'm looking, don't hold stock in that yet, but the point is, if I can find the statistical proof, would it be fair to put the common descripton of some one like Tim McVegh and seperated them?

When the troubles were going strong here in Ireland I had an occassion to visit London.

When we arrived at the airport we where checked in like everyone else, BUT, we the people from Northern Ireland were put into a seperate lounge until ready for the flight. We were then allowed on the plane, AND the plane was escorted down the runway by the police.

The was the British Government doings its bit on Irish people in the 1970's - 1980's let alone airports doing it with Muslims today.

As of today people boarding a plane to Northern Ireland still have their photographs taken by security before boarding a plane.

How the hell do they tell? how can you tell and a muslim is a muslim? is it the beard? is it the way they dress? Without stereotyping we can't really be 100% sure that someone is muslim or not, and even if they were who the hell are we too make them feel different just because of what religious views they have??? It's like the McCarthy era all over again

So, then how did you feel about being seperated like that, and treated like the criminal that you aren't?

Not only are you ignorant, your also a hypocrite.

An old woman, or a young child, or a respectable looking white man could easily be a muslim extremist.

First off, that claim in completely and totally unsubstantiated. Secondly, you clearly don't know what the word "hypocrite" means. Finally, your a mean spirited person who would rather attack someone you disagree with than have a debate with them.

As it was the British Government that did this it made you feel like a criminal. It was awful. You would have thought that a plane load of people were being extradited when you seen the police escorting the plane down the runway. It made me very very angry.
