Fuck you Fox News
 

Why does ANYONE pay attention to these idiots?

Check this out:

NASA reports that the Sun's Magnetic Polarity is about to flip:

Now, here is how the fuckheads at Fox News report the exact same story:

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/...-peak-in-2013/

But with no kidding, words including Perfect Solar Storm, Eruptions, Massive, Extensive Damage, High Radiation, etc...

If there was ever proof that Fox slants news reports to keep people in a constant state of fear, this is it.


'fucksakes...

"FOX: There’s nothing that mankind can do to prevent the storm. But humanity can prepare."

Note to self: self, buy big umbrella after todays liquor store run.


.

I can picture some idiots panicking already...

Why do you even read or watch fox news buddy ;)

when will this happen, i expect movie about it :)

Fox is for cartoons, not the news.. :2 cents:

Imagine what they would say if they knew that the magnetic polarity does the same thing on Earth..

Why does anyone watch fox?

People (Idiots) love to be shocked and outraged. :2 cents:

Fox wants two reactions, just like most politicians;
- sheep that follows
- oposition they can debate and fight

Just ignore and move along. And stop giving them free backlinks.

I don't like Fox news. I don't like MSNBC. I don't like CNN.

I don't watch any of them.

Seems quite simple to me. Apparently not.

I try to read and watch them all.
They all slant things, and mostly the Headlines to get you to read the article.
Most have also looked so dumb, I say see the Movie Idiocracy..

Who do you suggest to watch?

I watch Fox News for a laugh sometimes. It only takes about 2 minutes before they say something hilarious.

Fox News is not the place to go for science reporting. This is a much better place for science news: http://www.scientificamerican.com/

I don't watch FoxNews for the reason's you mention.

That said, an intense solar flare pointed at us does pose a credible threat. Read up on the Carrington Event, when one such situation happened. Now, think about what that would mean today when we are much more dependent on electricity and satellites than we were then.

Im no fan of Fox news but.

If you know your solar physics you know that the sun is on an 11 year cycle for increased solar flare activity, that 11 year cycle corresponds directly to the same 11 year cycle the sun has for its magnetic field swapping polarity. The physics are extremely complicated but the swapping of the magnetic field does increase the emission of solar flares and increased solar activity that can and does cause widespread blackouts when it happens to be on a collision path with earth.

It also causes the Northern Lights to be visible as far south as Washington DC under the right circumstances

For the record NOAA monitors these solar flares and issues warnings to power companies so that they can take measures to counter them older satellites are on their own

That's when the Earth's magnetic field weakens during the shift, not the sun, right?..

No. During the Carrington Event, the northern lights were reported to have been seen in Cuba.

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius...

Probably Manwin caused those solar flares, someone might want to look into that

This page is very good for predicting aurora borealis sighting.

I will never understand the mentality that causes people like Prince to watch programming he hates.

ironically, NASA scientist downplayed it, fox news reported it correctly.

to say this will cause only '2 billion' in damage, is significantly under reporting what is going on.

Post corrected. You're welcome. :1orglaugh

When the Earth's poles shift, they weaken the most about halfway through the cycle and causes stronger Northern Lights. :thumbsup

I guess stronger sun flares can do it, too... :upsidedow

Why not change it to I will never understand Canadians?

Apparently you do :2 cents:

Yeah, a weaker magnetic field would have the same result since the aurora is caused by charged particles entering the atmosphere. My response before was more in terms of what MikeSouth had written concerning it being more widely visible as a direct result of the increased barrage of particles.

:winkwink: that too

i agree with your suggestion.. why digress?

I can tell you why people watch Fox News....

I watch the news channels at night before I go to bed. They are all showing "re-runs" of their "news" shows from that day.

So last night I had Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN and OReilly on FNC.

OReilly drives me nuts when he starts pontificating...but last night he had a woman guest hosting for him.

Anyway...I tuned in a the start of the shows.
Anderson Coopers TOP STORY: ARod and his suspension from baseball for steroids. :(

I switched channels to FNC. Top story on OReilly: The closing of the consuls on the African continent. The guests were former CIA and NSA top people. They went in depth on the story.

At 20 minutes after the beginning of the show I switched back to see what CNN was doing.
Anderson was interviewing an ex-steroid dealer who was discussing how easy it was over the years to get baseball players some fucking testosterone. :(

And THAT is why people watch Fox News. Sometimes they are the only ones following a real story. Not all the time of course. But just saying. Instead of you going berserk CONSTANTLY about Fox News...maybe you should just actually watch it sometimes instead of cherry picking the occassional dumb shit that happens on any 24 hour a day cable network news show

Wait, people here still watch cable news other than when there is a mega disaster?

Every night in bed as I'm falling asleep. :)

I watch the Golden Girls. That Rose, she gets me every time!

Fox news! Asking Questions, getting answers.

It's all a bunch of bull shit.

the only thing that is news here is the exposure of how ignorant people like you and the rest of the public is of such things. Every 11 years genius...


You keep on learning from reddit there chief, seems to be doing wonders for you.

Ouch!

When somebody gets called "chief" or "sparky" or "sport"...IT'S ON BITCH!!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You mean "Faux" News.. lol

Sometimes I flip between The Daily Show and Fox, and while I know The Daily Show is more accurate, the ironic thing is I end up having a hard time deciding which is funnier. lol

It's REALLY nice just using a good old antenna to receive television programming. I switched to it long ago and it's like breathing mountain air. Also free, but mainly it clears the head of a lot of nonsense. Truth doesn't require believers. Some of these TV channels do though. Take the hint, haha.

like me?

why don't you tell everyone here why you think oil doesn't come from dinosaurs

hahahaha :thumbsup

One of those things I don't understand about Canadians.

Only thing TV / cable news good for is my next domain registration. Thanks AnthonysWeiner.com - FuckBillOReilly.com - MSNBCLies.com

Respect though: Cable news talkin heads biggest pimps goin. Scare the crap outta you so your relieved when commercial comes on sellin fuckin Snuggies.

i love to watch the Golden Girls - and i am not ashamed to admit it :1orglaugh :helpme

I don't...! but after I read the first article at Nasa.gov I googled it to look for more, and sure enough, Fox News appeared on the first page of the Google results.


Of course..!! And http://www.popsci.com, http://www.nasa.gov, etc...




Of course it does: It can affect Satellites, cellphones and even knock out power like it did here in Quebec a long time ago.

What's more important is that this is a cycle that happens every 11 years or so. Whats important is that if you live far enough north, you can get a pretty nice light show. What's stupid as hell is Fox using a natural and recurring event to scare the stupid.

Fucking fag...

So does http://spaceweather.com



I never watch their programming. They just happen to be everywhere. And if you watch it, you are not doing your brain ANY favours.



We are a complicated yet loveable bunch. Once you pick us up you can't put us down without petting us. We're like Kittens.


D'oh! Snap!

I hope he knows I was just joking:upsidedow...
