"Fox News, as you’re referring to it, is the national “news” channel.
The reporters who did this story work for a Fox affiliate - a completely separate, independent entity."
Why does the nut does not fall far from the tree come to mind?
Fox recurring motif seems to be bash anything union, or funded by tax dollars. Find bad union workers, medicare ripoff artists, unemployment scammers, medicaid scammers, Social security scammers, and throw the baby out with the bath water.
You’re making a completely false conclusion that an affiliate (the nut) must be at all related to Fox News (the tree). I’ve lived in areas where the Fox affiliate was FAR to the left of MSNBC… and others where the NBC affiliate was owned by the Sinclair Group, which is FAR to the right of Fox News.
@ waterboy: So you’re in favor of autoworkers drinking and smoking pot on their lunch break? Perhaps you’ve heard of a union called AFTRA?
“Find bad union workers, medicare ripoff artists, unemployment scammers, medicaid scammers, Social security scammers, and throw the baby out with the bath water.”
Aren’t these the people we should be finding? I do agree with you that there’s no sense throwing out perfectly good bathwater.
“In my years of teaching, this was never a problem. My salary was too low to buy booze.”
Hope your circumstances have improved.
“A signed agreement is not a requirement for drug testing.”
No, but it means you don’t get unemployment if you get fired for not taking a test (I think).
in some places, not taking the test is pretty much an admission of guilt.
I wish to explain that in a auto plant the uaw workers and the supervision of an auto plant are very adversarial, and most of the time both sides have a right to be this way.
I worked as an outside contractor in many auto plants, and 99.9 % of the people working there were just trying to do their very menial jobs and get along, their jobs are not to think but just get their job done, time after time for years on end. The plants are not easy to work in. Understand that these plants are huge, most plants are over a mile long and about 3/4 of mile wide, so there are a whole range of types of people that are inside these plants, most of them are good people. They should follow the rules, but they don’t need to be fired.
Plus this fox channel will do anything for ratings and never admit mistakes like the time a county worker worked through lunch and then sat in the truck to eat his sandwich and this same reporter declared COUNTY WORKERS GOOFING OFF , NEWS AT 10!
Fox isn’t the only guilty party in that scenario tom. ANY media outlet will do stuff for ratings.
But Fox BAD!
Fox news #1 cable news for last 3 yrs,by a HUGE margin!
Fox news #1 cable news for last 3 yrs,by a HUGE margin!
And the newspaper Rupert Murdoch closed in Great Brittan for EXTREME ethics violations and possibly criminal acts was the #1 newspaper in England (by a HUGE margin).
So to answer the question WHY it’s so big/popular…Because there are extremely gullible people who hing on every word Glen Beck and Shawn Hannity say…yet have no idea how many times they’ve been caught LYING to at the very least stretching the truth…People who listen to Fox News exclusively are probably the most uninformed people…Just like the Sara Palin groupies who tried to rewrite Wikipedia article about Paul Revere and his ride to warn the British are coming…After Sara Palin obviously had no idea what she was talking about…her groupies decided that she was right…and therefore they should rewrite historical accounts to match what she said…

Listen sheeple (sheep/people), dems, reps, conserv, libs, indies, etc., etc., All of them pull the same crap on everybody so stop with the party worship and realize they are there to serve themselves and you are a second thought.
With that said why don’t you talk about cars?
I realize my words are course and this is not directed to one person but everybody so you don’t have to agree, just please go to the political forum for this please.
meaneyedcatz, we all like cars, but many also have other interests. This topic is auto-related, sort of, but not really. To me, it is about safety in the workplace. Others don’t seem to think so, but that’s up to them. Not all threads will interest everyone. If you don’t care to read this one, then stop once you find that it isn’t for you. I know that there are many threads I lose interest in, and I just move on to others. I hope that you will do that too.
jtsanders…I know that there are many threads I lose interest in, and I just move on to others. I hope that you will do that too,
Normally that is exactly what I do…I appreciate your mature reponse. I will not beat a dead horse so I will leave it at that.
ive worked years in aircraft mfg speed or meth was the drug of choice .overtime not high union wages, made that all possible
“ive worked years in aircraft mfg speed or meth was the drug of choice .overtime not high union wages, made that all possible”
