British Takeover

Postby rklenseth » Thu Apr 01, 2004 6:10 am

Alright, what is with that new British anchor on FOX News? It just seems like I am watching the BBC News with the very apparent British accent and even British slang. Did he get kicked off BBC News for being Conservative or something? :?

I think Fox news should seriously consider hiring Baghdad Bob...

BBC would never allow a news anchor to use slang.

Maybe it isn't slang in Britian.

Just another Fox ploy... It's like the documentaries that are all over T.V. in America with the narrator having a British accent to be considered more authorative, scholarly, and generally intelligent. LOL

Everyone knows in America when you watch a documentary with a narrator that speaks in a high or middle English accent what is presented has to be true, correct, and grounded in reason.

More image ploys from the mass media tis all lol.

And who owns fox? Murdoc, and where is Murdoc most interested in know? Britain, why? the BBC is the largest media institution in the world and he doesn't have nothing to do with them.
