Fox News Trashes the Netherlands

EDIT- NOTICE OF NON-INFRINGEMENT: THIS SHORT CLIP FROM FOX NEWS WAS UPLOADED FOR "FAIR USE" PURPOSES OF ANALYSIS/CRITICISM ON A PUBLIC ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO THE TEXTUAL CRITICISM I PROVIDED BELOW, UPLOADING THIS SHORT CLIP ALLOWED HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO COMMENT AND CRITICIZE, INCLUDING MANY FROM THE NETHERLANDS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THIS CLIP AND PARTICIPATE IN THIS IMPORTANT DEBATE.

In part of a special series on the secularization of Europe, Fox News ran this segment trashing the Netherlands. The clip uses Fox News's frequent method of attributing its judgments to "some observers" and "people." One such quote from about halfway through the segment:

"They have become what some observers say is militantly secular, ridiculing anyone who holds religion as important and shunning all public displays of faith."

And be sure to stay tuned for this quote at the end that typifies the Fox News approach:

"After euthanasia and infanticide, the next move in the Netherlands is probably a suicide pill, not for those who are terminally ill, but just tired with life. While it hasn't been legalized and is probably still several years off, people are already talking about the idea."

Notice how this last assertion that "people are already talking about the idea" is self-authenticating...

Actually, I even don't wanted to respond. But special for fox. The rates of: murder, homeless, poorness, raping, drug related deaths, gang membership, gang deads, people in prison and public shootouts are in america, depending on wich of these aspects between 3 till 10 times bigger than in western europe(inlcuding the netherlands). Trash on, we love our country and see the american society as a way WE SHOULD NOT DO IT.

Pathetic broadcasting,spreading lies.

Everyone can have his own religion from me, no matter what.

But i am just disgusted by that American "we do and know everything better" propaganda!

The American propaganda is like a virus, i reckon it is even worse then drugs and the entire world suffers from it by hearing this that america is saying "Oh that country is atheist oh and they are allowing gay people to mary, it is a sin of God".

Well you what.. Fuck.. You!

Homo huwelijk is het toppunt van vrijheid , het topput van democratie waar zij altijd zo over opscheppen , maar nee homo´s hebben geen rechten , zelfde voor het feit dat je met meerdere personen kan trouwen , prostitutie houd het aantal verkrachtingen drastisch omlaag , bovendien zijn die in elk land vinden , en een land als amerika moet toch begrijpen dat ons drugs beleid de enige manier is om Al Capone praktijken te voorkomen , ze zien niet in dat wij op veel punten voorlopen !
