Fragonys description of Fox news proves to me he's just taking the piss. Nobody could be that ridiculous as to take that bunch of jokers seriously.
This wouldnt be the same news station that went to court and asserted that they had the right to distory the news, and even outright lie its reports. (After it sacked two members of staff for refusing to distort a story and include biassed information that were provably scientifcally false.
Or the same station that "accidentally" has labled the last five republican politicians to have been caught up in corruption scandals as being democrats?
Oh for those of you who want something sensible, have the latest update of the current science pre-Copenhagen

...distory the news..
I assume you meant distort
But I initially read it as destroy, which I thought was rather apt.;)

Fragony's debate skills make me look like a master deliberater. Hell, even CCChoad and Thief13x look good in comparison.
Coming from somebody who's current argument is "Its from FOX, therefore its untrue". This is the approximate level of intellectual sophistication exhibited by a drunken football fan! "Go Packers!!! Oh, Matt Ryan?! He plays for the Falcons, So Therefore he sucks!!! WOOOHOO PACKERS!!!"
Description of (http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-ridicule.html) Appeal to RidiculeThe Appeal to Ridicule is a fallacy in which ridicule or mockery is substituted for evidence in an "argument." This line of "reasoning" has the following form:
X, which is some form of ridicule is presented (typically directed at the claim).
Therefore claim C is false.That pretty much describes the entirety of Dethtolls legendary "debate skills". It simply doesn't work anywhere except the internet and on Fox News.

Aside from the fact that I've never actually said that...
Ain't factchecking grand?

Comes in 3 flavours here, somewhat leftist, very leftist, and extremely leftist, if you ant insightful political discussion I would skip the Netherlands, much better of where you are when it comes to that
