OMG. Fox is outraged, outraged, over he family of Captain Phillips

[cali]

refusing to speak with them. On Thursday the Phillips family kicked all the media off their property (an that includes across the road from their house, which is also their property). Fox saying that the family promised to speak with them when the Captain was safe, so the poor wittle foxy reporters went back to the house and the family told them to beat it.

1. Good on them

[MadMaddie]

2. Faux News.....poutraged again

As if citizens of America are obligated to share their joy or grief with them......I hope they never talk to Faux news.

[malaise]

24. Don't forget that Faux never went to the homes

of dead soldiers.

[MadMaddie]

28. You are absolutely right about that.

[alsame]

3. Coming up on Fox News:

"Does the Phillips family hate America?"

[CTyankee]

17. Well, they DO live in Vermont, the first state to legalize gay marriage by its legislature!

And now a near total blue state (gotta get that governor, tho).

I'm sure the freepers would have liked the captain to be from a deep South red state so he could be celebrated as a "real" American.

Hah!

[alsame]

19. You're right! I'm sure they hate the fact that a

liberal commie/socialist, gay-friendly blue stater is a hero!!

Poor Freepers - it just doesn't fit their stereotype. :crazy:

[cali]

27. yeah, suck on it freeps. there's no state the freeps hate more than

Vermont. I've seen comments over there hoping the whole state is wiped out.

[CTyankee]

30. They are jealous cuz Vermont is so great. n/t

[Political Tiger]

4. Leave it to Faux to harass the family first chance they get. n/t

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Harumph! Harumph!

[jobycom]

6. I think in Texas they could shoot them.

[Ikonoklast]

9. Waste of expensive ammo.

Let loose the hounds.

[Vidar]

25. That would have thrown FOX viewers into a state of cognitive dissonance.

[Arkana]

7. CLEARLY THEY MUST BE LIBRULS.

[cali]

12. actually, that's quite likely.

69% of Vermonters voted for Obama, and Underhill, as I recall, voted in Town Meeting a few years ago, to impeach Bush. And Mrs. Phillips is an RN.

[jpak]

8. I guess the pirate outfits were not appropriate

:evilgrin:

[emilyg]

10. I'm listening to Fox - did not hear that.

[cali]

13. well, you must have missed it.

because that's exactly what was said by the reporter.

[emilyg]

15. Perhaps I did. Slept late.

[MineralMan]

11. Hey, Faux News: Fox You!

[SpiralHawk]

14. I guess the family only wanted to talk with American reporters

And would have no dealing with Republicon Homelander propaganda puppets.

America wins. The Homelanders lose.

[CitizenPatriot]

36. your post made my day

rebublicon homelanders indeed:-) good one!!!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

16. But, but, but....

You're supposed to be willing ratings fodder for us!

At least until there's another breaking story, and we've left your lawn a mess.

Hooray for the Phillips family.

[cali]

18. heh, heh. New England reticence. The family has no statement

for the press today according to a Maersk spokesperson in Underhill, but thanks the American people for their well wishes and prayes and is sure they understand the family's desire for privacy at this time. The statement was given 3/4 of a mile from the family home.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

20. This woud be a media trend I'd welcome.

Keep your distance and show some respect for a change.

Hey, I can dream, right? :)

[Politicalboi]

21. Damn you Phillips family

Now we are going to have to send out Bill O's army of ambushers. :sarcasm: And if they thought the pirates her husband had to deal with are bad just wait.

[cali]

22. now the staties are guarding the privacy of the Phillips family.

tough beans, vultures.

[malaise]

23. The CNN bimbo seemed annoyed that the family

had been informed hours before she knocked on their door with 'the news'. I swear M$Greedia is batshit crazy.

[cali]

26. I love that this family isn't letting the media bullies, bully them.

And I wouldn't be surprised if Captain Phillips didn't let himself be turned into a media plaything.

[Liberal_in_LA]

29. I'll bet the Captain will be doing interviews soon enough. similar to the pilot that landed on water

book deals and such will follow

[SoCalDem]

31. I hope the captain is invited to the White House BEFORE he goes on the media merry-go-round..

Can you imagine the FoxFiends' heads exploding when there is footage of the captain thanking P.Obama for issuing the rescue order:)

[cali]

32. My fantasy is that he's an Obama voter and he says so. Freeper heads explode (more)

[Enthusiast]

38. Now that would be funny. nt

[SmileyRose]

35. I hope he never goes on the media merry go round.

and tells them all to go suck it.

[SoCalDem]

37. He probably will get time off from Maersk, and will probably

take advantage of his adventure... Everyone needs an extra buck or two these days,,

I would not put aside the idea that he might even write a book about it... You know there's a movie in this too..

At his age, why not cash in?

[BlooInBloo]

33. I'm sure we'll hear from glenn beck about how much he hates that captain.

[comrade snarky]

34. I'm outraged too!

I need to see the families cry pretty tears. Joy or anguish it doesn't matter so long as I get to watch. It's my right! :sarcasm:


Good for them! Enough with the media vultures, whatever channel. Though it is funny it's FOX.
