I'm pretty sure they all know its pronounced "fo".
Maybe everyone should call them "Fakes News"...
Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
As long as we're discussing language, what is a non-cleaver mispronunciation? Also, why does your Dad feel the word "faux" is an important one? Very funny story. If true, you'll never hear it on Faux News.
Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
MSNBC, CNN FOX, 2, 4, 5, 7, 11 (nightly news)... All of it is trash. Propaganda spun in the direction of each channels political agenda. Journalism is so blatantly bias today it doesn't matter what side your on. If you outright dismiss one channel while proping another up on a pedestal you only come off sounding like a hack or drone.
We need to be critical of the news and question the information fed to us. If we do not examine both sides responsibly we just end up feeding the hysteria delivered on a daily basis.
So the next time you turn on the "news" and see them reporting on the latest reality show I hope you realize that that station is just blowing smoke up your ass and not reporting and real news.

Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?
Im not understanding what someone being safe and in there car has to do with any of this. If somebody got out in the road in my house and said what are you doin i couldnt just go over and start hitting them. Also i wouldnt run when somebody was askin me what i was doin i would just say get outta here or ill call the cops on you. Im not sayin this wasnt a tragedy and i dont think that zimmerman was smart when he got out of his car and im also not sayin that i know every detail of the case but if you just put together those 'basic' facts showing all sides theres not an obvious outcome in a trial or just in really what happened.
Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?

You can't compare any national network or cable news network to Faux News. They exist in their own separate hell of what actual journalism does NOT look like.
Faux News is the propaganda apparatus of the GOP and right wing. They don't just have a difference of opinion on matters, Faux News has a different set of facts than the rest of us are working from.
It's been studied and polled that if you watch Faux News exclusively, you are going to be misinformed about most news related issues.
No deposition for lawyer in Trayvon Martin case
No deposition for lawyer in Trayvon Martin case
Lawyers for George Zimmerman, charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of an unarmed teenager, wanted to question attorney Benjamin Crump about a phone conversation he says he had with the victim's girlfriend.
SANFORD, Fla. — Lawyers for neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman will not be allowed to question an attorney for the parents of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, a judge said Friday.
Lawyers for Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in Martin's shooting death, wanted to question attorney Benjamin Crump. The outspoken attorney has said he talked to Martin's girlfriend and she was on the phone with Martin in the minutes before Zimmerman shot the unarmed teenager to death on the night of Feb. 26, 2012.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty. He has said Martin punched him, they fought and he shot Martin in self-defense.
Zimmerman's attorneys wanted to question Crump in part to ask him about specifics on the circumstances surrounding his recording of the girlfriend, who was identified as witness eight in court.
Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson said Crump didn't have relevant information and questioning him would violate attorney-client privilege.
Nelson also said the defense team has had 10 months to interview the witness and she, not Crump, is the only one who could provide testimony about the phone call.
Crump's attorney, Bruce Blackwell, called the motion "a side show" by the defense. Crump did not attend the hearing.
Don West, an attorney representing Zimmerman, said Crump misrepresented the woman's age as 16 when she was 18.
"She has been cloaked in mystery since the beginning of this," West said.
Also, the judge denied a request to release the addresses of Martin's parents, girlfriend and other witnesses. However, the judge said the defense could ask them for their address during depositions. The state had withheld the addresses to protect the witnesses from public scrutiny.
Following the hearing, defense attorney Mark O'Mara said Zimmerman has talked to him about the one-year anniversary of the shooting.
"He is sorry but every time we say he's sorry and traumatized by Trayvon's death, they say we're being insensitive to the Martin family," O'Mara said. "It's been a traumatic year for both parties. The anniversary will be a sign that this has been a long, long year with no resolution."

Zimmerman Stuns Court, Waives Right to 'Stand Your Ground' Hearing in Trayvon Martin
Zimmerman Stuns Court, Waives Right to 'Stand Your Ground' Hearing in Trayvon Martin Case
George Zimmerman's attorneys stunned court observers Tuesday when they waived their client's right to a "Stand Your Ground" hearing slated for April that might have led to a dismissal of the charges in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin a year ago.
However, the defense lawyers didn't say whether they would waive the immunity hearing outright. They left open the possibility for that hearing to be rolled into Zimmerman's second degree murder trial. Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch captain in his Florida subdivision, shot and killed the teen, who was visiting a house in the area.
The move allows the defense more time to prepare for the trial this summer, but also raises the stakes.
Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law entitles a person to use deadly force if he believes his life is threatened, and absolves them of an obligation to retreat from a confrontation, even if retreat is possible.
In recent weeks, the Zimmerman defense has suffered several legal setbacks. Judge Debra Nelson has ruled in favor of the state that Zimmerman's bail conditions should not be loosened, and that Trayvon Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump was not required to sit for a deposition about his interactions with the state's most important witness, a young woman who was the last known person to speak with Trayvon Martin before his death on February 26 2012.
It was the defense's legal maneuvering which put Judge Nelson on the bench in this murder trial. Last summer Zimmerman's team successfully argued that the previous judge, Kenneth Lester, was unfit to preside over the trial after a caustic bail ruling where he blasted Zimmerman for misleading the court about his financial situation.
Zimmerman contends that he shot and killed the 17-year-old Martin after the teen confronted him as he walked to his father's girlfriend's house. Were Judge Nelson to have accepted his account under Stand Your Ground, all criminal proceedings would have immediately stopped, and Zimmerman would have walked free.
But another unfavorable ruling by Nelson could have been interpreted by jurors as a sign of guilt. Waiving the hearing could also prevent the prosecution from picking apart Zimmerman's testimony.
Before the April hearing was waived, Zimmerman's defense set out to attack the credibility of witness 8, arguably the key witness in the upcoming trial.
Defense attorney Donald West asked the court for more information about the allegedly false account she gave attorneys. According to records obtained by ABC News she was on the phone with Martin as his confrontation with Zimmerman began. She claims he told her that he was scared of a strange man following him.
The state admitted that witness 8 lied when she stated that she did not attend Martin's funeral because of a medical issue and that there are no medical records to support that claim. The defense wanted Nelson to question prosecutors about how they first learned that this claim was not true, but Nelson refused.
The defense also asked for law enforecement biographies of both Zimmerman and Martin, in particular Martin's social media history. "It's time and money to get some of the information here and we are running out of both," said West.
In an earlier hearing the judge ruled that Zimmerman's defense could subpoena Martin's social media history but the undertaking is timely and expensive. Authorities agreed to hand over the documents to the judge so that she could review them and determine if the defense should have them.
