Why does Fox news show a weather forecast every 10 minutes or so??

#2 of 23 by twenex on Wed Sep 24 16:14:52 2003:

Because that's the attention span of the intended audience, not including
those who watch it to mimick their betters.

(I have seen FOX News. They show it on British SKy satellite TV).

Because the weather is VERY imprtant t ous didn't you know? I want to know
about every degree drop in temperature, every wind-direction change, every
ray of sun that shows. And I want to know it for all of the country, not only
Columbus! Check out the weather channel.

  re #1:  perhaps some sort of truth-in-advertising law compels them to
  periodically broadcast content which really *is* "Fair and Balanced."

  :-p

Oh damn...  now I have to forget this on two systems.  *sigh*

Re #5 - Fair and Balanced? are you *sure*?

Be very careful about saying the phrase "f**r *nd b*l*nc*d".
It's trademarked by Fox News, and they might sue you.

How can you serve me, my servant?  *snort*

Do scientists still believe that the honey bee worked doing her dance to
communicate where the nectar is is *directionally* communicated, as I believe
we were once taught?

It appears to still be controversial, or at least there are two schools
of thought on the questions, both of which have written books supporting
their hypotheses.

Did you listening to me?How I changes web pages?

#14 of 23 by keesan on Fri Sep 26 02:08:30 2003:

Vipla, I have emailed you explaining how to make a web page.  I don't
understand your question.  You need to telnet to grex in order to read email
or to write a webpage.  You can email me at keesan@grex.org for help.

More on Fox news weather forecast. They show temperature of all 
regions in the world but they skip India. Why?

#16 of 23 by sj2 on Sat Sep 27 10:30:29 2003:

Whats a private individual? 

I am aware that companies/corporations are deemed to be entities 
independant of the shareholders, employees or customers. But does that 
make it a *public* individual?

#17 of 23 by gull on Tue Sep 30 13:37:41 2003:

Re #15: Good question.  I think interpreting it as some kind of
political statement would be crediting Fox News with way too much
subtlety though. ;)

This response has been erased.

Ummm ... that would imply thought behind action. Something, you can't 
accuse Fox of.

whore.

#21 of 23 by naftee on Fri Nov 28 00:30:19 2003:

whack.

re resp:16 : corporations *are* considered to be individuals --- in certain
applications of law, corporations are equivalent to people.

But usually, 'private individual' is used to distinguish between 'ordinary
citizens' and celebrities, who may have very public existences.

Yes, in fact one of the (very few) innovations in the
so-called European Union "Constitution" (which makes the
Articles of Confederation look like a paragon of brevity,
exactness, and utility) is to give the EU real legal
"personality" for the first time. If it passes...

(The EU has survived on the back of a ton of Treaties thus
far).
