BUSTED! FOX coverage parodied, eviscerated by savage French humor...must see! LOL!

FOX's breathless, ignorant fear-mongering torn to shreds by French drôlerie.

Some French, but with subtitles.

ETA:
I live in the 'no-go' Quartier Père Lachaise mentioned in the clip, so it's doubly hilarious for me! LOL!

[tridim]

1. Rupert has probably already sent his Faux Security force to France. nt

[Surya Gayatri]

3. Let him just try to twist arms here. Good luck with that!

As poster Fred Sanders so memorably said in another thread:

"Fuck you Fox. France is going to hand you your ass as to how to react to a terrorist assault. "

[lame54]

2. fox is the root of all satire

[Surya Gayatri]

4. What a gold mine for comics the world over...

Comedians must give thanks daily to the Gods of Humor for the BS dished out by these clowns.

[lunasun]

5. FOX news is so stupid * I wish their stupid listeners/fans would enlighten themselves

Thanks for the laugh but it is sad.


Anywhere there is one Moroccan is a no go zone because it is just like Iraq or something else just as incorrect and stupid with these FOX clowns

[Surya Gayatri]

6. Better to laugh than cry, I guess, lunasun. Best way

to deal with them. Marginalize them through ridicule.

[Enthusiast]

25. Fox "News" viewers are a product of willful ignorance.

[fredamae]

7. Oh God-lol-hahahaha-Thanks

I so needed that today
The French-Keeping "it" Real!

[Surya Gayatri]

8. Sometimes I get frustrated with my adopted compatriots

and their blasé penchant for constantly criticizing everything.

But, boy howdy, do they know their satire. Need a sacred cow skewered? Call the French! LOL!

[fredamae]

18. Oh, hell yes! It's an art

they have perfected and they are amongst the few who can say "FU with a smile" ......

[Surya Gayatri]

20. Polite to a fault while making you look like a complete ass...LOL! n/t

[glasshouses]

9. That was funny

[Surya Gayatri]

10. Hi glasshouses! Welcome to DU! May satirical rock-throwing

someday destroy FAUX News.

[glasshouses]

12. thank you for the welcome

[ChazInAz]

11. The expressions!

The jaw-dropped, astonished reactions of many of the interviewed people to the idiotic questions was wonderful. You could almost read their minds. "How is it possible for anyone to be so stupid and still be alive?
I love the French, they gave us Voltaire and Moliere.

[Surya Gayatri]

13. Absolutely priceless, because sincere and spontaneous...! n/t

ETA:
Speaking of Voltaire, have you seen this? He's baaaack! a rock star once again, 300 years later! LOL!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026088156

[Hekate]

75. How wonderful is that?

[KansDem]

14. That's the difference between "feet on the ground" reporting and...

..."feet in the mouth" reporting.

[Surya Gayatri]

15. And they aren't even embarrassed by their bare-assed,

lying stupidity.

Their mouth-breathing devotees won't question a word. Hilarious, but alarming at the same time.

[PatrynXX]

16. now for a foreigner I have no idea

but if your french eh bit of a joke. although there are some outright areas I'd be more afraid of Natalie Portman living there but I'm sure Ben helps out.

Now going to certain neighborhoods at night anywhere? in America everywhere. Unless you work at night at which you get to know the underground and they don't consider you a threat or maybe they do thus you dress your car up to fit in (Rammstein sticker ) eh traditionally America is much more violent place compared to others. No Go Zones good grief

[Surya Gayatri]

28. Precisely, where do these Barbie and Ken dolls get off?

You want to play 'no-go' zones?

I'll see your Père Lachaise and raise you a south central Los Angeles.

I'll see your Barbés and raise you an inner Detroit.

[MadDAsHell]

17. "Eviscerated" "torn to shreds"

Unfortunately I would say that's pretty strong language considering the people that will see it are in another country and probably aren't even familiar with Fox Snooze, and the people that are familiar won't see it.

It's kind of hard to "tear someone to shreds" when they're not even there to realize it.

[Surya Gayatri]

19. Whaaaaa? Don't follow you. You don't have to be

a regular FOX watcher to see the scathing juxtaposition of FOX's lies and the French anchor's withering riposte, ripping apart FOX's ignorant BS.

And yes, the French are generally much better infomed about the US media than vice versa.
Most of them have at least heard of FOX and its shameful reputation.

[Enthusiast]

22. Your response is a bit curious.

[Surya Gayatri]

23. N'est-ce pas ? Sounds like a surreptitious

FOX apologist, maybe?

[Enthusiast]

27. Fox apologists are rare on DU. Strange.

[Surya Gayatri]

29. Go figure....

[Enthusiast]

21. That is hilarious!

Fox "News" lies!

That's all they do!

[Surya Gayatri]

26. Proudly lying to the mouth-breathing masses since 1996. n/t

[m-lekktor]

24. lol that was funny! thanks for posting this.

[Surya Gayatri]

34. Couldn't resist posting in GD, but original credit for the heads-up

goes to poster Kire in Video & Multimedia:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017238131

[rustbeltvoice]

30. The French people on the street

were polite to the questioner, but incredulous at the question; they dismissed the scenario of the question by politely contradicting it; all except the last woman who immediately called the question stupid, and then dismissed its premise. Now, we do not know how many were asked; but we don't know how many are asked in America in man in the street interviews. How many Americans will dismiss, or call out, a stupid question?

[Surya Gayatri]

32. Quintessentially French...polite to a fault while making you

look like a complete ass.

[Iliyah]

31. K & R

f u n n y!!!!!

hahahahahahaha, Ken and Barbie, nailed it!

[tblue]

33. Parfait! We need a show--no, a NETWORK

dedicated to doing just that. Love that clip! Thanks for sharing. Vive la France!

[Surya Gayatri]

37. Vive l'humour français ! Vive l'ésprit cartésien !

[Roland99]

35. Brilliant!

so, is that like a French Jon Stewart?

[Surya Gayatri]

39. Didn't know the site and had never seen the 'anchor'...

But, if he did the subtitles, hats off!

[ffr]

36. The video not found.

Or maybe it's too busy.

Do you have another link?

[Surya Gayatri]

38. Sorry, only link I've found. Maybe the server has crashed?

I'll try to find it on YouTube. Stand by...

ETA: Nope, no luck on YT, but the link appears to be working now...

[flamingdem]

40. Barbie and Ken

skewered!

[SmittynMo]

41. FAUX at it again - Let's brainwash the masses

SOS with FAUX - I NEVER listen to them to keep my sanity.

[mehrrh]

42. I LOVE it

Fox News (Faux Noise) parodied and mocked outside of the US! What a reputation -- Murdoch and Ailes must be so proud.
Fox is not a news channel, it is a propaganda channel, anchored by nitwits, and believed by nitwits.

[Surya Gayatri]

43. Oh, yes. As I said up thread, FOX's shameful reputation

has made it 'outre-atlantique'. Quel honte !

[War Horse]

47. It sure has

Seemed pretty well known in the UK the last time I was downstream there, and it's even well known up here in Norway.

[Surya Gayatri]

48. Their ignominy knows no bounds--Assholes Without Borders....

or Trous de Cul Sans Frontières! LOL!

[War Horse]

53. I guess that sums it up as well as anything :) n/t

[lunasun]

44. France IS On fire! Massive take down of sections of Paris by terrorist Muslim No go zones

in their sickest dreams is there that much chaos and hate in Paris .

[Hekate]

45. That's hysterical -- hysterically funny, as opposed to hysterical fear-mongering. Jon Stewart....

...would LOVE this.

Thank you so much, Surya Gayatri!

[Surya Gayatri]

46. Laughter IS the best medicine--and we all need some right now!

The "anchor's" mocking take is so hilarious in French--just the right dismissive tone, with a 'soupçon' of incredulity...LOL!

[Hekate]

76. His tone and gestures need no translation. I loved it. nt

[Douglas Carpenter]

49. fabulous

[Surya Gayatri]

50. A satirical jewel!

[workinclasszero]

51. Fox "news" lies

Busted again assholes!

The rest of the world must think the USA is insane!

[Surya Gayatri]

52. My French friends are much too polite

to say so out loud, but they will admit that that's what they think, if asked.

[CatWoman]

54. I enjoyed this so much

I watched at least 4 times

[Surya Gayatri]

57. Me too! Maybe half a dozen times...especially as one

of the people in the street is interviewed not far from my place! LOL!

[LiberalLovinLug]

55. I wish this was on YouTube

More Americans could see this. Not sure how much Live Leak site is used. Love to see Jon Stewart run with this.

[Surya Gayatri]

58. I searched all over YT but couldn't find it. Maybe the

creator will discover how popular its becoming, and think to put it up over there.

[Hekate]

77. I'm hoping someone from DU will send Jon Stewart the link!

[valerief]

56. Love it! Merci France! nt

[amuse bouche]

59. That was great

He referred to the Foxbots as Barbje and Ken and clowns

[Surya Gayatri]

60. Brilliantly done, just the right tone of insulted incredulity! LOL!

And, hats off to the translator. Subtitles are spot on in French and English.

[Douglas Carpenter]

61. I posted this on my Facebook page I hope everyone does. This needs to go viral. Americans need to

know just what an outrageous scam Fox News is and just how much Fox News disgraces the United States of America.

Looking at the comments responding to the Video can be a bit of a hoot. There are people who won't believe this story is nonsense. Here is one such comment:

I think France is just in denial. Like a senile old bastard laughing at people who point out he has pissed his pants and says, no I have not pissed my pants.

[Surya Gayatri]

63. Good move, DC. I don't 'do' Facebook, but this needs to be seen across the Web.

'Quel honte' that this ignominious excuse for a "news" service represents America around the world.

A sad laughing stock. Incomprehensible that legitimate mainstream journalists, any who may still live and work in the States, don't denounce this affront to their profession.

[Moonwalk]

62. This really isn't fair. French mockery vs. Fox? Might as well..

...match up a couch potato with a professional kick boxer

Granted that Fox New richly deserves it. Speaking of which, on our behalf (i.e. U.S. citizens with half a brain) I do hope you'll tender our profound and embarrassed apologies to any and all French citizens who have seen Fox News. I wish we could deny responsibility for this national shame, but our GOP congress makes that pretty well impossible

[Surya Gayatri]

64. Totally out-matched. No contest. Like I said

in another thread, "Nobody does surgical satire like the heirs of Descartes and Voltaire."

(That being said, they also have an unfortunate and inexplicable fondness for slapstick à la Jerry Lewis--go figure.)

Fatally funny...just the ticket in these sad times.

I've tried to explain away the existence of the intellectual blight that is FOX, but French people have trouble understanding why FN is not ridiculed off the air.

[Moonwalk]

65. Well, it is regularly ridiculed by Bill Maher, John Oliver and Jon Stewart....

...What's hard to explain is why the rest of the News Channels emulate it.

[Surya Gayatri]

66. But, where are the serious mainstream journalists,

who should be calling FOX out every minute of every newsday?

Stewart and Co. are satirists--without the supposed gravitas of 'real' journalists.

Even Maddow is a 'commentator' rather than a bona fide investigative journo. She does her best, but she's a lone voice in the intellectual wasteland.

[rpannier]

67. That was funny

Reminded me of Kent Brockman on the Simpsons episode Kamp Krusty

Ladies and gentlemen, I've been to Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and I can say without hyperbole that this is a million times worse than all of them put together.

[Surya Gayatri]

68. Loved the 'helmet' bit...'Our team on the ground ran a big

risk--they went in with riot helmets'.

[mountain grammy]

69. Just fair and balanced fox giving us the other side of the story

you know, the made up side.

[Surya Gayatri]

70. They inhabit a parallel world, where up is down, black is white...

Real-life practioners of NEWSPEAK à la 1984.

The bigger the lie the more it becomes truth in their universe.

[DFW]

71. Did the following occur to anyone reading this thread?

They were mocking a Fox broadcast in the States, in English, because THERE IS NO FOX FRANCE, just as there is no Fox Germany. Murdoch would love to be broadcasting his filth in both markets.

Certain countries take their laws seriously about what is news and what is hate propaganda. The USA can overlook their "Truth In Advertising" laws and let Fox continue to call itself a "news" station even though we all know it isn't. France and Germany are not so willing. Germany, especially, is still extremely sensitive about letting anything that even remotely resembles Nazi propaganda on their airwaves, so Fox has no chance of starting up a German language version of what they do in the USA, and the French aren't too keen on it, either.

[Surya Gayatri]

81. FOX News is unvailable in any cable TV or internet

subscription package in France, afaik. It's nowhere to be found in my 400+ fiber optic TV channels.

OTOH, I have access to Al-Jazeera English (and Arabic, too, if only I could understand it...)

Can also get the excellent news channel France 24 (in French, English and Arabic).

I have to stream FN on-line if I want to see what they're up to.

That being said, most media-saavy French people are aware of FOX's regrettable existence.

Their ignominious reputation preceeds them around the world.

[DFW]

90. Most of Europe knows Fox exists

A good friend of mine was chief correspondent for West German Radio (WDR--regional radio, not as in former East Germany or West Germany) News in Russia for five years. He has never been to the United States in his life, but is completely aware of who they (Fox, Murdoch, etc.) are, what they do, and why they do it.

[alfredo]

72. knr

[Hulk]

73. We can laugh, but....

...these mf-ers are pumping this crap INTERNATIONAL. I was shocked to see fox -nonsense penetrating into Mexico. We have an apartment in central Mexico, and the same ridiculous bull shit is being pumped into empty heads south of the border, with the exception that they have NO commercial breaks! None! They are afraid to lose the viewers, so they have instead "fox extra" moments where they give nutritional, movie-star BS, medical advice, etc; so as NOT to lose the viewers to flick the channel from their insanity. Seriously! ...and they are doing this AROUND THE WORLD!!!

Murdoch knows how to pump the propaganda to his "ex-pats" and the natives. Seriously!! This shit is being pumped in nearly EVERY LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRY !! EVERY ONE !!

These mf-ers are serious about spreading this cancer of propaganda around the world. I wouldn't be surprised if they are pumping it across Russia. After all, they LOVE them some Putin, the biggest totalitarian thug in the world. Watch PBS's documentary on Putin that aired last night. It's a real eye opener. And our dim-witted ex-preznit "looked into his eyes and saw his soul"....puke!! What a complete ass-clown!!!!!

[Surya Gayatri]

82. OMG! They're pumping out their poison in Spanish, too?

FOX News should be taken to the International Court in the Hague and voted down in the UN Security Council for Crimes Against Humanity.

They are a clear and present danger to world peace and stability.

[Hulk]

92. In English...

It's not being broadcast in Spanish; so I'm guessing it's directed to the more educated, top tier of population. It definitely reaches the few fox-trolls that have ventured outside the iron curtain of the USA, but it's playing to the audience at a tremendous financial loss, as there are NO commercials...it's stead fox-BS pumping-time.

There are enough people tuning in to this twisted reality to influence thinking around the globe. I'm not saying it's the major news source, just like it isn't even here in the US, but it's a voice that "looks authentic", and it weighs in the debate of what is reality.

Same legs, cleavage and sensationalism, 24/7. It works all around the world.

[Surya Gayatri]

93. Thanks for taking the trouble to clarify...

"...it's a voice that "looks authentic", and it weighs in the debate of what is reality...", yes, tragically.

[Skittles]

74. hopefully they understand that thinking Americans think Fox News is utter GARBAGE

[Surya Gayatri]

80. They find it confusing that such reprehensible, biased bilge

would be allowed to be broadcast. Hate speech and terrorist apology is severely curtailed by French law--not withstanding Voltaire's classic dictum:

“Je ne suis pas d'accord avec ce que vous dites, mais je me battrai jusqu'à la mort pour que vous ayez le droit de le dire” ...

“I do not agree with what you say, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it”...

[elleng]

78. Merci! Et garde toi!

[Surya Gayatri]

79. Thanks for posting the divine Diva with subtitles...

Whether in French or English I can rarely understand the words in opera. Adore the music, but need a printed program to follow.

"Garde à toi si tu m'aimes !" Classic!

[elleng]

91. Oui, c'est classic!

Moi aussi, I usually can't understand words in opera either!

Glad you enjoy it! Couldn't resist!

[bulloney]

83. This example of BS that Faux Snooze peddles as "news" is hardly an isolated case.

Somebody once defined "expert" by breaking the word down into two parts: "ex" meaning "formerly" and "spurt" being "a big drip."

[Surya Gayatri]

84. Bwaahaaaaa! Good one!

[drynberg]

85. Fox is actually an infotainment channel, so measuring them with "Factual Accounts",

Is not going to bring positive results. Fox and Murdock just present reality in their terms, not reality's terms. Plus, they make a lot of cash presenting such lies, and promote RWers.

[ctsnowman]

86. lol thanks for the post.

[Surya Gayatri]

87. De rien. Le plaisir est pour moi !

[Laura PourMeADrink]

88. Wow - fantastically ignorant - thanks for posting !!! nt

[Surya Gayatri]

89. Quel honte pour l'Amerique ! Glad you enjoyed it.

How shameful for the US!
