The Onion would be hard pressed to make this work.

To the Attention of Greg Gutless,

I recently viewed an excerpt from your 'news' show, Red Eye, on youtube, in which you make an absolute ass of yourself trying to belittle Canada's efforts in Afghanistan. I am absolutely disgusted by your abuse of freedom of speech, a freedom won for you by tough men and women who fought and died in conflicts around the globe. Tough men and women like them are fighting for freedoms like the one you abuse in Afghanistan, and are VOLUNTARILY there, wearing Canadian uniforms. A disproportionately high number of these Canadians have given their lives ( as said by the US ambassador to Afghanistan http://www.nationalpost.com/story.html?id=399064 - though it was printed by a credible news source, which I assume you have no access to inside the walls of FOX 'news') to the cause, so that Afghanis (many of whom live in conditions that would leave you dead and rotting in the space of a week) can live better lives. Not because the Canadian army is undertrained, underfunded, or underequipped, but because they are fighting in Kandahar, one of the most dangerous areas of a particularly volatile country.

Canada, a country with roughly the same population as California, has consistently stood up for people the world over, in places most people like yourself and your Faux news team couldn't pronounce, let alone find on a map. On the day your piece aired, 4 more Canadian soldiers lost their lives helping the Afghan people. They weren't "running on beaches, wearing white capris," they were working out of austere forward fire bases, wearing CAD PAT uniforms, body amour and carrying weaponry on par with the American soldiers over there along side them. In the same interview linked above, Ambassador Wood (who is actually over there) had the following to say: "there is "no question" Kandahar is a more secure place than it was one year ago". "There's no question that Canadians are doing the whole job," and "There's no question that the Canadians have suffered an extraordinary proportion of losses, bravely and with dedication." Why would you, with no experience outside of your own ego, think Canadian troops are doing anything different?

Men, and I use the term loosely, like you pretty much sicken me to my core. You sit back on freedoms earned in blood by your forefathers, and make light of the efforts of others, and call it entertainment. While it would be easy to wish you harm and ill-will, I'd rather wish you a dose of reality. I wish that you could live a soldiers life in Afghanistan for 6 months or more. I wish you could know the constant unease of being constantly shelled, shot at, lied to by the locals you're trying to save, and under constant threat of attack from roadside explosives and suicide bombers. While I know that bit of reality is unlikely to come to fruition, as you'd have to be actually accepted into the military (even the US Army has minimum standards you'd be hard pressed to meet), I can offer you this small dose of reality: The names of all the Canadians whose lives were lost in the conflict you find so much pleasure in belittling. Think about them and the families and friends they left behind the next time you decide to open your ignorant fucking mouth.

I then copied the infor from this page into the body of my e-mail:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadia...in_Afghanistan

Guy's a douche of epic proportions.

please post the reply you receive from FOX.

Canada's always pawning the USA in war games and all other sorts o training runs



but FOX News has to make the lazy assed rednecks feel good about their military that hides behind airstrikes

slammer111 03-23-2009 03:06 AM

That looks more like a talk show as opposed to a news broadcast?

To add to that, the guy in the Fox News video calls the USA the "most powerful country in the Universe".

I had no idea this was a repost because that other thread's title, "fox news fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu", really doesn't have anything to do with the video. The title on this thread is much more descriptive. It should be a lesson for OP's when figuring out their thread titles.

Eh...Fox is just all tabloid news. Hell, even Americans make fun of Fox as a "news reporting source". Just check out yesterday's Family Guy. :D

chun 03-23-2009 09:09 AM

So not to defend this broadcast (which I think is pretty ignorant and dumb), but Redeye is actually a comedy show. :o

91civicZC 03-23-2009 09:22 AM

Making fun of dead soldiers is not funny, period.

I hope everyone is writing a letter to fox news DEMANDING an apology for this crap. Way to go Black SC2, very well written. Mine will be following shortly.

To be fair, I didn't realize this was a satirical comedy show (a la Colbert Report), but personally, I think he crossed the line.

Fox News host apologizes for comments about Canadian military

A Fox News host is now apologizing to Canadians after outrage over comments he and his guests made on a late-night talk show. Greg Gutfield, the host of the show 'Red Eye', says his comments `may have been misunderstood' and in no way were meant to disrespect 'the brave men, women and families of the Canadian military.'

The recent talk-show segment featured a group of pundits taking turns trashing Canada and its reliability as an ally. They were spurred by comments from Canada's army chief that the military would need one year hiatus to regroup and refurbish after its Kandahar mission ends in 2011.

Fox News issued the Gutfeld statement shortly after the Canadian government demanded an apology for what it called the 'despicable' and 'disgusting' comments. Gutfeld said in the Fox News segment, widely aired on the Internet, that the Canadian military `wants to take a breather to do some yoga, paint landscapes, run on the beach in gorgeous white capri pants.
