Some good yucks: If FOX NEWS had been around in the past to cover major historical events.... World History, through Fox News's "Fair and Balanced" Eyes "Fair and Balanced" it may claim to be, but many would argue that Fox News, the US 24-hour news channel, has a distinctly conservative agenda, or at least a right-wing slant. Now a Web site takes a new look at some of history's biggest moments, and how the Rupert Murdoch-owned broadcaster might have covered them. It's supposed to be a television still, showing a news report from an event in Alabama. The black-and-white film shows firemen pointing a high-pressure hose at black protesters sitting on a sidewalk. But in this "what if Fox had been there?" world, the talk is not of civil rights demonstrations or discrimination. Instead, words on the screen scream: "Negroes Attack Police, Demand Special Rights." The crawl at the bottom on the screen lets it be known that segregationist Governor George C. Wallace is not going to negotiate with "terrorists." It's just one of the site's takes on how events might be seen through the Fox News prism . Others include the sacking of Troy, the sinking of the Titanic, and the crucifixion of Jesus, which this fantasy Fox describes as a "carpentry accident" while announcing its next program, "Rome's Scariest Chariot Races." While the site might not be appreciated by Fox fans, for those who think the news channel tends to stretch the bounds of journalistic objectivity, it's a riot. service.spiegel.de ----------------------------------------------- mysite.verizon.net Kent State: The O'Reilly Factor: Kent State Natl Guard fends off violent protestors. MLK: African-American or Anti-American?? Heroic police fend off Negro protestors Selma: Negroes attack police, demand special rights. Wallace defiant: We will not negotiate with terrorists. Civil War: Bill O'Reilly Talking Points: Slavery is essential for a healthy functioning agrarian economy. Mr. Lincoln seems to forget that. He should remember where the cloth for his suits comes from - cotton from the prosperous south. Boston Tea Party: Terrorism in Boston Harbor. Terrorists seize B.E.I. tea. King George: "They hate America." Troops sent to quell liberal protestors. War in the Pacific: Homikaze attacks increase. Nobody buys the "Homikaze thing". Titanic: Titanic under attack. Captain's alcohol addiction. Crucifiction of Christ: Death ruled "carpentry accident" Pilate: "We found him like that" Next: Rome's scariest chariot chases Last Supper: Infidel's last supper. "King of the Jews" to be crucified... Major storm approaches. The Spanish Inquisition... Persia attacks Greece, etc. LOL!
