He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Bret Baier’s Fox News crew was busted by Beijing’s cameras for illegal parking during Donald Trump’s state visit—and locals filmed the team blocking traffic too.

One Fox News viewer offered a more measured perspective, "Cool, that's how parking enforcement works in NYC, DC, Chicago, LA, London, and basically every major city with cameras," adding, "You park illegally, the system catches it, you get a ticket."

The same commenter elaborated, "The only difference is the speed of the notification. Most US cities mail you the ticket a few days later. Beijing sends a text the same day. The technology is faster. The system is the same.

If "automated parking enforcement that texts you when you violate the rules" is communism, then NYC's $238 million in annual camera-issued parking tickets is the largest communist enterprise in North America."

I'm getting a kick out of this comment because I just got a ticket from NYC because their 30x20 pixel camera decided someone else's plate looked like mine. I live in a different state and haven't been to NYC since middle school. The car is completely different from mine. /rant

Fuck Fox and its viewers though.

I one time got a ticket from one of the Carolinas. The farthest east I've ever been is Arkansas and the farthest east any of my cars have been is Utah.

Parking illegally is a sport in NYC

Some schmucks will even play the game of "maybe this loser will pay my ticket."

I was legally parked with a work van and came back to a ticket on my windshield tucked under the wiper blade. I knew I was parked legally so I opened it kinda pissed off only to see the ticket was written for a red truck and I was in a white van lol what a prick...

Those scumbags will ticket work vans if they are below quota b/c they assume you're too busy to fight it.

Anyone working at Fox news lacks the emotional capacity to feel humiliation or embarrassment.

I wouldn't mind China arresting fox news for being political agitators. Those "Press" badges are fake.

They themselves argued successfully in court that they're entertainment, not news. So yes.

[–] CoolSouthpaw@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Good. Fuck Fox News.

Hahahahaha suck it Faux.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

I'm just glad Faux "News" was humiliated

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

The world would be a better place if everyone in the US treated these bigots and freaks as heavy handedly as Chinese citizens do
