Fox news bashes games for being environmentally friendly

September 08, 2011 in Video comments 5

Fox news has once again dropped many jaws. They claim that games such as Sim City Societies are promoting a liberal agenda because of the fact that you're encouraged to use green energy in the game to base your city infrastructure on.

They use the example of Sim City Societies, where you must build environmentally friendly houses or pay a fine. Sounds pretty terrible, right? What? It doesn’t? Oh, that’s probably because it’s notterrible. The world does need to be more green, at least according to all those really smart people in the lab coats who do years upon years of research and studies to prove such theories, so what’s the harm in including that in a game?

    I was so befuddled by the video. There's just no winning with Fox. I like how they shove 'liberal agenda' in anywhere. But the cake was when he said that the games are so boring and not fit for your 5 year old. It's a simulator, of course it isn't...

    Fox News is so pathetically full of shit that it's almost laughable. But I'm not laughing because they claim that they air "fair and balanced news," even though their news broadcasts clearly state otherwise.

    not to defend Fox News at all, but it seems the point they are trying to get at is more the way the games are going about it, especially if marketed to kids, not the message itself. its fine to teach kids about being responsible towards the environment and all that, but its going a bit overboard when they resort to using fear-mongering tactics, like trying to scare kids into "going green". using the word "slaughter" when referring to cutting down trees is pretty ridiculous and unnecessary TBH.

    let kids be kids for frick's sake, if you really need to scare people into taking care of the planet, do it in junior high or high school.

    @Shinobi_razor good feedback however the truth is the green movement it self is a really radical movement. its a extremist movement. green peace one of Americas 1st green places is thought of as radical and they control some of how we do things.

    i think you must teach kids about the world the population and how to do things. in 60 years from now there will be water wars commonly not just the water wars we know of now where money gets you water and some citys left dry. every state in usa does cloud seeding for 40 years and most 50 60 years. cloud seeding is a way of providing a "vitamin" that helps clouds become water producing clouds to rain and to help us keep up with population that is out of control.

    a great watch on fox is outfoxed check it out.

    "using the word "slaughter" when referring to cutting down trees is pretty ridiculous and unnecessary TBH."
    to be fair they are male and female just like you and i and i think its good we are starting to value there life too. there life does provide us life. more trees less green house gases. forest are cut down all the time for homes. our homes kill others homes we must understand that.
