Usama Bin Landen Dead Fox News Confrims

Post by Neo »

Yep, they got him.

I think it's ironic that he was taken down in a surgical attack after so much money and so many lives wasted in stupid-ass wars in the Middle-East. It's also ironic that apart from a sense of fulfilled vengeance, this changes nothing about the sad current state of affairs in the world.

Amazingly, this generated less traffic for BBC News than a certain wedding.

Is it bad that I care more about Faux News spelling his name wrong more than him actually being killed?

Well, at least this will hopefully be a lesson for the USA and they will not repeat their mistake of supporting dangerous militant groups with questionable motives and goals just to opportunistically damage a political adversary, with the outcome of a country being left in turmoil and —

Oh, wait. Hello, Libyan armed rebels!

Usama is a valid romanization of his actual name; it's the one he himself used, and is the one suggested for use by the FBI. Fox is the only news organization to my knowledge that actually uses it, though.

Imagine if they had happened at the same time! We might have had to acknowledge that there was actual news going on.

If there's a silver lining to this colossal mountain of camelshit it's that the icon of terrorism lived long enough to witness that change via peace is possible in the Middle East.

He's referring not to the thread title but this. "Confrims" is most definitely a typo, though.

Who fucking gives a God damn shit about a news entity making a typo. People love pointing out Fox News's error to reinforce their own bias and then conveniently forget that MSNBC, CNN, BBC and several other places made the same mistake at various points last night. People make mistakes. Shut the fuck up.

People hate Fox News because it is a hardcore, Christ-humping, conservative fuck-barn, propaganda mill that makes more effort writing commentary to why America is failing due to the homosexual-atheist-socialists than reporting news. Please, excuse people who pick on them. Fabricators should be bullied.

And Usama is a correct interpretation of his name. You often seen it in the early nineties.

On reflection, I guess I should clarify that it's the obscene amount of time, resources, and, more importantly, manpower it took to rid the world of one shriveled-up turd. He still deserved what came to him.

My dad verbally made the same mistake as that Fox affiliate. Quite a few things raced through my mind during the second that it took him to correct himself.
