About that suicide on Fox News

[Duer 157099]

Whenever you go into a business that plays Fox News on their TV, remind them of this event, and tell them that you don't want to risk your children (or yourself) seeing something like that and if they continue to play Fox on their TV, you will no longer patronize their business.

It might make a difference, who knows.

1. They were playing Fox News at a children's play facility...

...we went to tonight.

I will let them know about this in the future.

2. Was Fox the only channel that showed the planes crashing into the Twin Towers?

Do all of the other news channels censor the bad stuff? I didn't think so. I don't understand the outrage here.

4. No...I didn't see them on FOX

Thank goodness whe can't get that on our TV.

5. Ditto. And the thing was Fox was trying to censor it and they didn't get the 5 second delay in time

7. Here in PA, we had something like this happen 25 years ago

on live TV, where the rethug State Treasurer (Budd Dwyer) gave a press conference before his sentencing for bribery, then whipped out a gun, put it in his mouth, and fired. And it was broadcast as it happened, and even re-broadcast later across the state (with multiple warnings about the video being graphic). It was quite the spectacle and continues to cause all sorts of discussion regarding the decision to broadcast whenever similar events like this come up,.

17. If I was misinformed, can you direct me to the correct info. It just angered and upset me so much at

the time.

I do apologize for my lack of compassion toward him tonight. I usually am very compassionate, I will try to do better.

Thanks.

18. Here's a good documentary about it

The man whose testimony convicted Dwyer admits he lied under oath.

19. Thank you. I did not know this before. nt

15. I saw that not too long ago -- didn't know what was coming. It may be the most

disturbing and upsetting thing I’ve ever "witnessed".

16. I still have my grandfather's post-card from him

for achieving some milestone birthday ...

8. I've done that at my local oil change place..

The first 3 or 4 times I went in there they had Fox on and then I said something. I asked them why they chose Fox so called News and they told me that's what they thought the people wanted to see you know "the news" I replied that Fox is definitely NOT news and I would take my business elsewhere if he continued to leave it on Fox. Ever since then, The Weather Channel and Judge Judy is what I've seen in the waiting room. Just doing what I can.

10. I just learned who shot himself

on Fox News. At least Shepherd Smith told them to cut it off.
