FOX News: Stupid A**wipes at "Work"

[Japher]

Why, who's number did he post?

Besides I already know it

I am thinking of the episode where Homer joins the space program with Barney... At the beginning he runs to the phone at Moe's and dials really fast and gets the president or some big-wig and begins yelling at them... They were all; "how did you get this number?"



I guess you have to see it inside my head.

Carlson:
-Giving out false phone number.
-A pretty funny prank though
Total:

FOX:
-Giving out private unlisted number
-Causing the phone calls to his wife
-And then gloating about it
-Using it to levarage (or some other buzzword) their "hard" reputation when they're really just being a bunch of *******s
Total:

If there's some kind of law against giving out PRIVATE UNLISTED PHONE NUMBERS, I really hope Fox gets hit with it. After all, the only thing they care about is money, their journalistic integrity could (already has) gone down the **** and they still couldn't give a damn.

Carlson played a prank, and he got a prank played back on him. That's life, if you can't take it don't start it.

Fox wasn't professional, but when has anyone ever thought of Fox as professional? Come on, FOX did an hour long special "Dogs in Heat." You were expecting professionalism?

I still think its funny.

Oh come on Gatekeeper or whatever silly name you have. "Stupid Asswipes"? What the hell? That is not rational, mature, or even related to what you're talking about. They may be unprofessional or out of line, but you are an idiot if you think your retarded insults mean a god damn thing. Dickhead.

And Tucker Carlson is not a righty. His bowtie is obnoxious and he is a terrorist who should be shot. Anyone who attacks Fox News, especially physically, is a traitor and a spy on both a national and personal level. He is lucky Fox showed restraint and just played fair. They could've gone above and beyond the call of duty and absolutely ruined that loser's life. Cry and moan about the wife's emotional trauma over the telephone calls all you want. I'm sure she'll never be the same.

CNN would fire Carlson if he were not a liberal terrorist spy communist like their whole stupid organization. Wimps...

He said Fox's PUBLICLY LISTED Washington bureau number. Fox posted his PRIVATE UNLISTED HOME number. What's so difficult to understand?

Agreed. If he were in his proper senses, Carlson probably would've known better than to expect decency and integrity from Fox.

IW, the irony was kind of obvious, I thought.

Mr Mitchell, all an unlisted number is is a number you shouldn't put out with malicious intent. Carlson put out Fox's number with malicious intent.

[Verto]

Boohoo.

No. Fox's number was publicly listed, correct?

And btw an unlisted private number is exactly that--PRIVATE.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to avoid some rotten apples when the media is defined as anything from a fringe newsletter to mom-and-pop operations to media conglomerates to Web sites to magazines to newspapers to ... well, the list goes on and on.

You'd think FOX, though, as one of the "heavyweights" out there, would be just a tad bit more responsible, especially with matters as simple as the article outlined. I mean, c'mon, post CNN's phone number for *their* Washington bureau, not somebody's unlisted home phone number.

Really, you (generally speaking) don't need more than a few brain cells to understand that.

While I think that FOX probably should have done the deed to cnn's bureau, to call FOX all sorts of names only highlights your own bias here.

You could weakly argue that they shouldn't haven't done it to Carlson's home number, but you ARE ignoring the fact that he did start the whole thing.

And also, your whole attitude and comments here show that you were just waiting for a reason to blast FOX.

And if you are a democrat, fine, but at least be honest that you don't like a network that doesn't skew to the democrat point of view instead waiting for a moment to pounce through some flawed criticism.

[Wiglaf]

Mitchell -

You missed the point. Putting out any number with malicious intent is wrong. Whether it's listed or not is completely irrelevant. Unlisting a number just makes it harder to carry out malicious intent.

So - Carlson's defense cannot be that Fox's number was listed and his was not. This is not complicated.

Carlson, individualy and spontaneously, acting like an unprofessional jackass isn't in the same league as the Fox organization taking it's time as to how to proceed and deciding to escalate. One would assume it's not just a lowly unauthorized web content staff puke, especially since they kept it on the website.

"But he started it" is a horse**** argument for first graders. Both should act like professionals. And if individuals fail to do so, that's why they have editors and other sorts of managerial types to step in and retain some organizational professionalism.

That's pretty much what I said...except I called them "righties"

[The Emperor Fabulous]

3 to 1 says that Fox was the one calling his wife

I read the 'commie smackdown' link Wiggy provided. Oh, man. Poetry. Pure poetry. And only a truly glorious idiot would post a link to a thread where he looked like an azz.
