Can Faux News get anything right?

Last night during their little college football show I heard two different announcers say Appa lay chian State. It's Appa lach ian State, soft a.

If they can't pronounce a prominent geographic feature of the Eastern United States then how can they be trusted to know anything about the world outside the United States?

Or do they just make shit up?

The Selection show was on Fox TV. My father works for 20th Century Fox Movies, and like FOx TV, they are not conservative propaganda like Fox News.

Germany thinks they live in a place called Deutschland.

People pronounce things differently in different parts of the country.

And either way, I still say I'm right.

"By the way, it is pronounced app-uh-LATCH-un, not app-uh-LAYCH-un, and that goes for the mountains, too, not just the university."

I moved from California to East Tennessee.

Then I learned for sure that it's app-uh-LATCH-un State U., according to the locals.

Will falsely believe that they're getting unbiased "news" from the other corporate outlets, when in fact the others are indeed quite similar to the FOX model.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! :rofl:

Everone in NC knows the
correct term is UCLA....
University of Cullowhee Left
of Asheville. ;)

Appalachian State is in Boone
But why let facts stand in the way of a good post

That's how the media works: The story is more important than reality

To watch Bears games I have to suffer through Faux Sports broadcasts...and I do mean suffer. If its not some washed-up coach or overpaid baseball announcer (Joe Buck), it's some rejects from the Mens Warehouse attempting to sound "cute" and "expert". Oh for the days of Ray Scott.

Be lucky these morons can even come close to pronouncing the name...don't dare give them a map and have them point out where the school (or the mountains for that matter) are located. Also, be assured they have no clue as to how the school's academics shapes up. Hell, someone at that school may have come up with the cure for cancer, but that doesn't matter if the team doesn't have a good running game.

:rofl:

You get penalized at Faux for stating any true facts.
