Outfoxed Fox... or some other.

I know this post has nothing to do with customer’s but it does have a lot to do with dealing with people, so in some ways it does relate. However, this is just merely a response paper that I am required to post for class reasons.
I’ve always heard the jokes related to Fox News, and that most of it is just complete fabricated bull. It is funny when people say, “oh did you hear such and such” and it’s completely off the charts in realistic factors that people immediately ask what news station they heard it from. The immediate reaction after hearing ‘Fox News’ is the rolling of eyes. During the entire viewing of the film Outfoxed, nothing really caught my attention more then the interview with Jeremey Glick. Jeremey Glick was asked to appear on the O’Riley show after he had started a protest against the war of 9/11 even though his life was directly altered due to the twin towers destruction. Long story short his father was killed.
He was encouraged to go on the show, knowing that Fox would get a huge story out of this, and a big reaction from O’Riley himself. His reaction not only baflled me but made me laugh as to how stupid he looked in this video. Of course most people would assume what O’Riley said was true, but I also laugh at how funny he looks and makes himself seem like a tool when he starts twisting Jeremey’s words around. It just goes to show how twisted the media is, and how much we have to question what it is were watching , reading and listening too. If anything it makes a lot of people pretty paranoid. Not me of course, I barely watch the news at it is.
