Re: FoxNews in Philly.
That is really big for Fox news to be covering this, since they are known as ultra conservative!

Re: FoxNews in Philly.
It's Fox local, though, not the big cable network. I think the local stations tend to be less conservative.Freedomforall wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 12:32 am That is really big for Fox news to be covering this, since they are known as ultra conservative!
I gotta say though - that was a weird segment. I think it was good in that it is changing the tone at which skirts on men are being discussed, expecially pointing out other male celebrities normalizing it.
Also - a lot of these sorts of segments are paid advertising or syndicated - I wonder how many other stations are going to follow suit.

I agree. It seems to be getting more prevalent.Coder wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 12:43 amIt's Fox local, though, not the big cable network.

Re: FoxNews in Philly.
Agreed, odd segment. But what I liked about it was the fact that men wearing skirts was just one part and it was pretty positive.

Get the male weather dudes into skirts on air and that would have way more mileage.

Hmm pearls huh....?
Interesting. I'm feeling it!
That guy in the dark purple.... man, he rocked it! Not sure if he was wearing dark pants under that, but imagine that couple with one of those long floor sweepers like Carl has....

Re: FoxNews in Philly.
I was surprised how natural the pearls looked - never would have thought that if you had just told me.

...................and the next question
If so, that seems a bit sneaky and dare I say it, unethical, Foxy even.

Is that without the "a word from our sponsors", type announcement Coder?

Perhaps this video added to my general cynicism in life:

It's a bit crass, but gets the point across.

There's more than enough in general life to make one cynical, one only has to pay attention for a few minutes.Coder wrote: ↑Sun Oct 09, 2022 1:28 pmPerhaps this video added to my general cynicism in life:

As to the video, Yes, it was a bit "crass", but that's the way that we seem to communicate these days, and the notion of "sponsored content" or "product placement" is not a new one; it's been going on for years.
And yeah, the guy in the blue suit was definitely boinking that ham.
Oliver's good. He's nowhere near as good as George Carlin was, but he's certainly not as bad as many current "comedians".

Re: FoxNews in Philly.
That long, really?
From my side of the pond, product placement has been around forever too, hell the Brits probably invented it.
However, commercials have to be clearly that and any other content easily distinguishable.
Individual broadcasters are also governed in what they are allowed to promote to prevent any blurring of the intent of the message.
Now where can I order the blanket and the rocket. They must be OK, the guy off the telly said so.
