2. Well, if you work for Fox News, you're NOT a journalist, so it doesn't apply.

I was at the bar having lunch today and they had FUX News on the TV, and I could NOT believe the red, flashing "ALERT" and the fucking helicopter shots.

Hey, way to help fight Global Warming there, burning all that Jet A to keep a chopper up to show us some brown building for a fucking hour, guys.

And thanks for the ALERT graphic, too; I'd not have wanted to miss such a vital story.

4. C)
Definitley not B. Life forms on Titan don't deserve to be the latest victims of American attentions.

7. Most likely YOU won't have the choice!
There are station owners and producers who make those decisions for you.
