It's been evident for a while now that the many in the mainstream (read: non-gaming) press maybe don't quite know how to cover video games. Evidence of this is in every well-meaning but ill-informed radio segment, every weird newspaper column, and especially in every terrible Fox News talking-heads segment. Gaming has been A Very Big Deal for a long time now, so why should it be so hard for the mainstream press to talk about games in a thoughtful, critical way? More »

Yesterday, several of my friends emailed me links to the video clip above, a "Fox and Friends" segment that aired a few days ago. In their accompanying emails, each person voiced similar sentiments of pissed-off frustration. More »

Here's a video that is uncomfortable to watch on two levels. The first is that I feel terrible for Brian Ambrozy, the editor-in-chief of Icrontic, who is appearing on Fox News to try to explain why and what kind of video games are now eligible for federal arts funding. The second is the nonstop assault Fox and its counterpoint ringer make on one's intelligence. More »

One of the two experts quoted in Fox News' notorious hit-piece on Bulletstorm has clarified his remarks, and while he stands by them, says their presentation lacks context - and that he enjoys playing Mature-rated shooters in his free time as well. More »

Yesterday, FOX News ran a story on Bulletstorm and got pretty much everything wrong. That's not the real story, though. They real story is how they got everything wrong: they did it on purpose. More »

Stephen Totilo has left the building, and is as we speak making a beeline for Fox News studios to talk the top games of 2010 in the Strategy Room. Who wants to watch? More »

I must be inside the bubble, because the idea of playing as the Taliban in Medal of Honor multiplayer didn't hit me as particularly controversial. Fox News noticed. Though it did treat the subject reasonably, the woman they interviewed doesn't. More »

This doesn't qualify as shameless self-promotion because, well, it's not about myself. Kotaku's own Stephen Totilo went on Fox News' "Strategy Room" on Friday to discuss Modern Warfare 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and other hot topics. More »

In Utah last Sunday, young Preston Scarborough took the family sedan for a spin. Instant media sensation, of course. A Fox News anchor was bold enough to ask did teh Grand Theft Auto do it? More »

Despite the odd leading questions and attempts to evoke emotion in a mother who lost her son, today's Fox and Friends roundtable debate on Six Days in Fallujah wasn't much of a debate at all. More »

Last weekend, Chicago saw quite a bit of violence. At the moment, CBS is reporting a total of "37 Shot, 2 Stabbed, 7 Dead," while pointing out that 13 of the victims were Chicago Public School students. Fox News Chicago noticed-in a moment of divine correlation-that Grand Theft Auto advertisements appear on CTA buses and train stations. More »

While the headline for the actual story reads "Parents of Baby Left Alone in Car Seat for 8 Days Face Murder Charges", Fox News decided to go with the much classier "Video Gamers Leave Baby To Die" on the front page of their website today to direct eyes towards the story of a Peoria Illinois couple who left their 5-month-old baby strapped to a carseat in a crib for 8 days while they were home "playing video games, watching TV, feeding and caring for themselves." A truly horrible crime, but why the video gamer hate? As tipster Orrin points out, why not "TV Watchers Leave Baby To Die?" Simple. Because irresponsible video gamers are big news. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=359332&view=rss&microfeed=true Can parody be parodied? That's the question we ask ourselves after watching this spoof of Geoff Keighley's appearance on FOX News. While the skit itself is alright, it was the reporter's opening monologue that made the clip post-worthy. So without giving anything away, we'll just say that, damn, we really wish we'd played the publicized version of Mass Effect. Because it sounds really freakin' hot. More »

Believe it or not Jack Thompson and I email sorta regularly. Granted he usually emails me bizarre, over-the-top press releases (which I often don't post) and I respond with disjointed quotes from movies, which I hope will one day remove that last wobbly hinge of his. (No luck yet). More »

Self help author Cooper Lawrence, along with Fox News came under heavy fire from gamers last week when they mindlessly branded Mass Effect as pornography. While Fox News hasn't come forth with an apology, Lawrence has admitted her mistakes in an interview with the New York Times yesterday after angry gaming fans trashed her book on Amazon. More »

Researchers at the University of Michigan have "found that repeated exposure to violent television shows and video games have a stronger influence on aggressive behavior than being poor, having a substance abuse or growing up with abusive parents", according to a Fox Business report on the findings. Based on over thirty years of research on a sample set of 856 third graders, the study contends that exposure to violent content has "a stronger influence on aggressive behavior than being poor, having a substance abuse or growing up with abusive parents." Virtual violence, researchers found, has "profoundly serious implications for society." More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=330391&view=rss&microfeed=true I've never watched the new Fox News Channel. But if this interview with Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime is any indication, I don't need to watch. The interviewer can hardly say Reggie's title (chief operating officer) and she talks about how it's exceeding "anticipation" (I think she meant expectation). My favorite part, though, is when they post the Super Mario Galaxy metacritic at the bottom of the screen (a 96). More »

The news channel for simpletons brings us a moronic shouting match between some lawyer we've never heard of with a gift for hyperbole and crazy conspiracy theories and some libertarian yokel named Jonathan Hoenig.
