[Chaohord]

The comments are siding more and more against Fox's shit

I guess things are really starting to look up

[Lazor]

[quote=Comment by ridgewolf]I heard Candie crowley was caught faxing the questions to Obama. You KNOW they are gonna prop him up somehow. He can't lose 2 in a row cause he will surely lose the next one.[/quote]

Ridgewolf is getting all uppity, it's pretty funny.

what exactly did they do wrong here?

maybe it's just me, but it appears they accurately reported on who won what as far as ordering goes

or am I not supposed to read it and skip straight to making a "fuck fox" comment

While that's true, what exactly is smoking about a coin toss? "Romney Smokes Obama In Pre-Debate Coin Tosses", along with the way they phrased it, makes it seem like Romney has some advantage over Obama in this respect.

player one smokes player two in a game based 100 percent in chance

[draugur]

IT'S BECAUSE OBAMA PROMISED CHANGE RIGHTS AND HE DIDN'T GIVE IT ANY! SO CHANGE IS NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM!

No it's not, it's a clearly biased game!
Romney is like, a friend to money, and Obama failed to deliver rights to change, it only makes sense that he'd lose the coin toss!

[karbine]

Honestly I felt they both did better in this debate; I was surprised how neutral CNN has been in all these debates; they're a pretty liberal news outlet. At least obama wasn't a zombie this time, but he still fucking dodges every question. Romney should've called him on it.

or it could be ~a joke headline~

have you never seen one before? have you browsed this forum before?

I'm not defending fox but there's no reason anyone should have to in this case

facepunch's little bandwagon can keep on truckin right off a cliff if it wants, I don't really care, but some of you are getting so worked up over something so insignificant I thought I might try to stem the tide of anger before it swells into a roiling tsunami of rage like most foxnation threads do

woah bro that's so edgy

[bohb]

That debate was hilarious. Obama kept raising the pitch of his voice to crackling point during most of the debate while stuttering and stumbling along. He was basically whining throughout most of the debate. It was also pretty funny he kept deferring topic questions and changing the subject while at the same time lying through his teeth.

Romney definitely won in the sense that he didn't turn into a nervous wreck by the end of the debate.

Not to say Romney is any better, he was also laying it on thick and flip flopping more than an IHOP on a busy day.

Yeah, personally I dislike both of them, but I certainly dislike Obama a lot less.

Obama was doing the same thing.

They were both wording their sentences in such a way that you couldn't pin some ideology on them that could potentially damage their reputation, not that either of their reputations were that great to begin with.

[ewitwins]

I wonder what the Russians think of all this bullshit, considering that they're still relatively "new" to democracy.

IF you can call that one-horse joke show a democracy.

[NuclearJesus]

My favorite part of the debate was when Romney was bareknuckle boxing a Darfur war orphan to get an erection.

. . .I really need to stop falling asleep during the debates.

[TheTalon]

My favorite part was when Romney stuttered and couldn't formulate a sentence when he got smacked about the Terrorist act in Libya comment. Just shut the fuck up Romney, you were wrong so man up and stop trying to rewind as if people don't have memories

[Conely]

My heart literally fucking sank when I read the title. I don't know what I'd do if that shitbird won [I]anything[/I], much less a presidential debate.

this is the image they put in the article, right below the "Romney Smokes Obama In Pre-Debate Coin Tosses" headline

Could you be a little more subtle when you're implying dumb shit, fox? Oh wait, your viewers wouldn't notice.

[TheChantzGuy]

i'd rather watch fox news than all the obama dick riding that goes on with all the other networks

[MBB]

Guys please stop posting FOX Nation stuff. It's not FOX News, not even FOX News is that bad. It's a blog that a bunch of people put dumb shit on. It's not reliable.

I think you're giving Fox Nation (Not even fox news, as previously stated) too much credit. I ultimately doubt that the headline was a joke; if so they'd probably use something else than the sensationalist title they had. Claim it a bandwagon all you want, it was a dumb thing for them to do. (By the way, it was also dumb of you to go as far to say that I haven't seen joke headlines in this forum, nonetheless browsed them. Facepunch isn't a news site, or trying to claim to be one like Foxnation does. Just take a look at their website and you'll see that it's no joke headline. [url]http://nation.foxnews.com[/url] )

the comments made me feel better, then this came along and I remembered what site I was on
