wow, i hate biased stories like this, unfortunately it happens all to often. Just like when FOX news had some doctors on and they said, violent video games make people more prone to violence and rape (or something along those lines). the story is labeled "FOX NEWS says games cause rape" when in reality FOX said nothing of the sort.
same case here. its never about who said it, or even what was said, but rather that it was televised on FOX news, the only news source that actually have anchors and commentators, and contributors from both sides of the isle and all accross the political spectrum.
Man the bias in the media is getting ridiculous, i wonder if anyone would know or even care about this, if that person had said that on NBC, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, or CBS. and if we were fortunate to get a story about this, if it was said on the other networks, i wonder if we would be getting titles like "CNN says flower is bad" (even though neither FOX nor the guest mentioned flower)

Flower wasn't even mentioned once, but it was shown off and on repeatedly during the segment.  I am curious why the heck they picked that, since the people doing the show didn't even discuss it.  Is it that it is pretty and makes nice filler when you have nothing else to show?

i really have no clue whhy they showed it, seems stupid. but it was likely that the host of the show knew nothing about it, and neither did the producers. it seems like it may have been stock footage, perhaps given to them by the guest. which he was really grasping at straws. could they be making baised games. Maybe. but it doesnt matter, unless more and more games are pushing an "aganeda" and theres nothing balancing it out. but right now we still have choices and we can avoid those game if we chose.

my only problem was that, articles like that, and the ones that vgchartz "authors" write, make the story about FOX news, and not the story, or who actually says it. and its never a story if another media outlet shows their lack of knowledge about games
