Stupidest Faux "news" comment of the day...



Fox News host Bill Hemmer explains missing plane: ‘It took 2,000 years to find Noah’s Ark’

Fox News host Bill Hemmer on Wednesday suggested that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 may never be found because “it took us 2,000 years to find Noah’s Ark.”

Former FAA spokesperson Scott Brenner told Fox News on Tuesday that the pilots of the missing flight had intentions of taking the plane in a different direction before they last spoke to air traffic control.

In his Wednesday coverage of the new details, Hemmer pointed out to aviation attorney Salvatore Lagonia that the plane could have ended up in Pakistan or the Indian Ocean.

“Well, if I knew, I’d tell somebody,” Lagonia replied. “But obviously, it’s hard to tell where he went after that. Once he went below 5,000 feet and really tried to stay clear of radar, that plane could make even more turns.”

“So, what, it took us 100 years to find the Titanic?” Hemmer noted. “It took us 2,000 years to find Noah’s Ark. Do we ever find flight 370?”

we had a pretty good idea where it went down, it was a matter of having the technology to look for it. As for "Noah's Ark", when was it found? Kind of hard to find something that never existed.

about the time of the birth of Christ. Because the flood was supposed to have happened 4,000 years ago.

I think.

That's why we don't find any dinosaur fossils less than 4,000 years old.

It was the location of their special rendezvous. Enquiring minds said so.

etc., that HAVE to watch Fox all f*cking day long in order to report on it.

They must have splitting headaches and go to therapy often in order to stay normal. Makes me wonder how many forced Fox watchers are main-lining heroin to kill the pain.
