Default Fox News Report on Flashy Porsches....

You guys better watch out. Fox News today is reporting on old guys buying flashy Porsches to get attention. They then interview women on their thoughts.

wow - I'm not sure whether that deserves a Pulitzer or a Nobel.

What insight, brilliantly delivered!

Fox never fails to amaze me. I am in awe.

A stupid article written by someone drooling to own a Porsche. It is pathetic and not even funny. Fox News is the low scum of dis-information agencies, anyway.

Fox "News" very often presents agendas and opinions as news. They often interview members of their own organization rather than outside experts to control the discssion. I believe this was the only "news" organization to imply or state that WMDs in Iraq were a given. They are the lowest of the low.

In this case ( re: Porsches), I think someone has a personal axe to grind.

Reads to me as if they are just reporting what our tax $$ were used for in a study done by......

Rice, University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of Minnesota.

So, I'd say it was more stupid of us tax payers to allow crap like this to be done, than by Fox reporting it.


They looked into the age-old question of whether a man with a Porsche is more attractive to women than a man with – say – a Honda Civic (in much the same way that a peacock with an extraordinary tail might be more likely to hook up with a peahen).

The clear and unequivocal answer was -- yes.

Makes me wonder how many of you actually read the piece before spouting anti_Fox_News rants.

I am actually shocked at the Far Left Liberal comments made at FOX. I noticed the article on foxnews.com but didn't bother reading since I have better things to do. Why are you all so afraid of a real news agency? How about keeping the politic's to yourselves and use Rennlist for it's true purpose.

If one wastes their time in reading the stupid article (as I did),you would notice in the third paragraph they are reporting on the above mentioned university study.
You might in the future do your due diligence before blindly attacking any news organization.

Would that be the same type of University study that determined that Fox viewers were the most misinformed about the issues of the day ?

Seriously...the OP with the skittles blue car doesn't need a Fox study to tell him he's an old guy, looking for attention.

Pure fluff.
"Scientific study?" Sounds more like a Freshman Psych project.
Pul-eeze.
Fox ain't the only culprit here...all the networks report this pap like it's important. It isn't.
