Cruel is fate, oh so cruel.

In other words, this isn't the death of Rayman, but rather the Rabbid's presence in his series.

You weren't foolish to think that. Ubi had a lot of people fooled up until the game's release as the original Rayman Raving Rabbids WAS supposed to be the next Rayman adventure. I still have the issue where Nintendo Power previewed the game and talked about all the adventure elements like riding spiders to get through a cave, fighting a horde of rabbids in a field and one section of a game that was an on rails section against the first wave of the Rabbid invasion that was very "halo esque." Some features that were supposed to be in the real Rayman game like earning new skills from donning costumes was integrated as a minor customization feature (accessed in Rayman's jail cell) in the Rabbids minigames games.
I think even Ancel left the project when another studio or team at Ubi commandeered the project and gave us the Rabbid games we know now. I would have preferred the actual Rayman game but I liked the Rabbids as characters themselves, so hopefully this one here turns out well.

Seriously though, the best way to deal with O'Reilly's publicity stunts is to not give them, well, publicity. Bashing on O'Reilly's techniques by doing the same exact thing? Watch out, Alanis Morissette is about to break out singing any second now.
I know it's "politics" (or at least innarnetz politics) but the ends don't justify the means, especially when the ends is nothing more than putting O'Reilly's name on everyone's lips.

Yeah, I know, not on the same level as assassinating a president. But saying that one network is more balanced than another is like saying firebombing is less deadly than nuking.

I have to say though, that I remember the remark made during the campaign. It was a rather strange remark that Hillary Clinton made about RFK in reference to Obama's newfound lead in the polls halfway through '08
Here's the New York Times article putting the HuffPo column in perspective. It's so easy to make people look bad if you shave off a few seconds here and there and avoid researching. That was just one commentor on Fox News making a rather ill-mannered remark about another senator's tasteless comment during an election cycle.
I think this is a clear case of "lurk moar".

That's funny because it's exactly what Fox News does every day!
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not under any delusions that the same tactics aren't exercised by every corporate news source. It's only good business when they edit statements and video in just the right way to accentuate what they believe the viewers want to see. However, having watched plenty of live Fox News broadcasts in their entirety, they seem to do it to the point of transparency. It's as if they don't even care to PRETEND that they're actually balanced, fair, or unbiased.
Fox is a great source for a laugh though.

I'm sorry but most gamers are fairly ignorant about politics, and have only enough passing interest to be easily swayed by sound bites and bumper sticker slogans. This makes them easily persuaded by advertising, and the arguments with the most money behind them (which they mistake for respectability). Thus all the 'libertarians' in this thread, and all the so called conservatives who are nothing more than uniformed dolts driven to their beliefs not from an educated understanding of politics and sociology, but by a blinding hatred of 'hippy liberal lefty communist homos', this comical caricature of anyone who isn't conservative or (ugh) libertarian. It's this straw man that corporatist propaganda outlets like Fox News keep propping up to facilitate the hate fest that drives modern 'conservatives'. Because your beliefs are not driven by a rational support for conservative policy (obviously, since it has failed so disastrously since Reagan), but by your opposition to a position you don't understand, because you only know the comic book version of it propagated by a network and movement who have a monetary incentive to lie to you.
If you really understood what progressives are, and have done for this country, you'd find that you're not as opposed to it as you thought (in fact you might even find out you're a dirty librool yourslef). But there isn't a progressive television network, newspaper, or think tanks funded by billionaire robber barons that distribute talking points to a network of talk radio hosts. There aren't bumper stickers, or 30 second sound bites. If you want to learn anything resembling the truth, you're going to have to open a book.
And if you can't be bothered to really educate yourself about something as complicated and nuanced as politics, sociology, history, and economics, if you're really gullible enough to believe Fox News is an actual news network, or that you even know what it means to be 'conservative' or 'libertarian' in this era, then maybe you should spare us all your pointlessly regurgitated 'opinion' until you actually know what you're talking about.
/End Rant, now back to some more falafel jokes.

Seriously, attacking commentators on the internet for being too conservative? On a viddyo game blog no less?

Later Rinse Repeat. The first part of his or her message was great. Then... Oops, Zombie Belvedere hit the hypocrite branch on the way down.
It's OK, though... Everyone's a hypocrite in some way.

Remember: Everyone is a hypocrite in SOME fashion in their life. Hypocrisy is human nature, because we need SOMETHING to say about our enemies, so if they're just like us we'll pretend we're not. This is pretty universal.
I'm by no means defending hypocrisy just supplying a null to this...
