1. Yeah I heard it several times yesterday
But can you really call anyone who works for Fox a Journalist? I think they were just employees.

2. I was just about to post the same thing.
It really jumped out at me. The words "FOX News" and "journalist" don't belong in the same sentence.

5. I was thinking that since it's propaganda
they can't be called Journalists.

8. It hasn't been publicized much
I think they're trying to negotiate for their release.

16. The Palestinians say they haven't seen any lost Fox employees
I trust the Palestinians a hell of a lot more than I trust a couple of Fox employees.

Someone needs to check the bars.

17. Ooh, yes
nothing as liberal and democratic as a good purge. Hey, let's root for the deaths and disappearances of all our political opponents.

15. i hope nothing for the best for those poor people
seriously. though i have nothing but scorn for their employer.

in any case, fox news may well have just lost 10% of its entire journalism staff.
