Recently, Fox News attacked
US Olympians for not wearing more red, white, and blue claiming the
uniforms they are wearing are not patriotic enough. Well it seems the US
Olympians have a question to ask Fox News. They are curious as to how
Fox News can call themselves news, and act as though they offer
competitive journalism when all they offer to their viewership is
pandered “bullshit.”
In an interview with Jason Lindsay from the US Olympic Badminton team, FWP asked the young man what he thought of Fox News’ remarks regarding the patriotism of the US team’s uniforms. Lindsay replied, ”I
have no idea what the color of our uniforms has to do with anything. We
are representing our nation the best that we can, and our uniforms
should really have nothing to do with the conversation. Was Fox News
having a slow news day or something? I mean really, with stories like
that, how can they even call themselves news. They should call
themselves Fox Opinion and Deliberately Trying to Piss People Off For No
Reason.”
Catching up with marathon runner Jessica Kellons, FWP asked what her
take on Fox News making a big deal of the uniforms was. Kellons
responded, “They what?! They are questioning our patriotism? Really?
Is that all they have to report on? Wondering if we wear enough red,
white, and blue? I thought there was an economic crisis going on, and a
presidential race underway, and this is what they choose to focus on?
Pathetic.” The sentiment held by these two competitors seemed to carry through
to everyone else interviewed. This non-story of apparent lack of
patriotism not only seemed un-newsworthy, but also seemed to offend many
athletes who have worked for years to perfect their ability to
represent the nation we all love and call home.
Someone should probably notify Fox News that those “unpatriotic”
Americans are neck in neck with China for number of medals earned, and
maybe focus on the actual Olympic competition and not comment like Joan
Rivers about what our athletes are wearing.

@nowhereman1 Yeah, I keep hearing that lately. But if Canada is allowing the other so called news outlets that are continually busted lying, then it's nothing but hypocritical propaganda.

@God_Himself That case was honestly the most mind blowing shit I have ever heard. But they aren't "lying". I believe the wording is "they have the right to "misinform" their viewers"

That's not what happened. That website is made up of leftist hack writers who distorted the court findings.
I'm not here to defend any news agency.But please link me to substantiated fact based links. Not bullshit from the likes of Keith Olbermann.

For those of you who think this yellow piece of desperation hack piece of writing and upload is real...
There are NO US Olympians named Jason Lindsay or Jessica Kellons on any Olympic teams past or present. You have been lied to.
AGAIN

Red white and blue.
Hey, that's the colours on the Australian flag!
They would be supporting us then. Yay!
Now, if only this story wasn't complete bullshit. A search for "Jessica Kellons" + olympics 2012 only comes up with this article on: http://www.freewoodpost.com/2012/08/06/us-olympians-wonder-why-fox-news-calls-themselves-news/
There are no Olympians with the two names stated above.

Do any of the cable news channels actually report news? They all carry commentary 24/7. Except MSNBC, who doesn't want to pay people on weekends and runs weekend long Lockup marathons.
Expecting news channels to report news, is like expecting MTV to play music videos.

FOX largest shareholder and primary owner is an Australian Jew. The second largest owner is a Saudi Sunni Prince. So American they are.

It's getting so hard to make fun of the conservative movement. They do such an outstanding job of making themselves look stupid. I'm surprised they aren't accusing American athletes of harboring communist sympathies because they congratulate Chinese athletes.
Oh. Maybe they're saving that story for another slow news day...

If you look back while communism was alive and well, would you have expected anything but red from the USSR? Atheletes reperesent their country, not their choice in style.
