Do you think Fox will ever apologize for airing Sibrel's moon hoax documentary?

no.

fox are a channel run by idiots, for idiots. they will run anything to make a buck. they don't care.

later: the mythbusters moon hoax episode was one of the best they have ever done. there are clips from it on youtube. anybody who would argue with the methodology and the results is beyond reason.

a good example was how the astronuts moved around in lunar gravity. shooting adam in a replica space suit in slow motion wasn't even close. using an acrobat rig to reduce his effective weight was better, but still clearly wrong. 1/6 gee on a vomit comet produced results indistinguishable from nasa footage. qed. the nasa footage was shot on the moon, and could not have been shot anywhere else.

No, I don't think so.

We're just lucky that Mythbusters recently tackled the subject, since it's a popular show with a large audience. I haven't seen this episode yet, but I've heard nothing but good about it.

I still have a TV set, but here in the boonies we don't get cable, so are reduced to pulling three channels out of the air, none of which carries Mythbusters. We do get CBC, which carried the brilliant "Dark Side of the Moon." That can be seen on YouTube, though the conspiracy theory believers don't seem to realize that it's a mockumentary. If you watch it, be sure to watch the closing credits, which contain the outtakes which reveal that the whole thing is fake. Also, the lady who introduces the program is none other than Michaelle Jean, who is now Governor General of Canada.

No. And I don't think the Hysteria channel will recant their nonsense either.

Like you, I gave up T.V. I don't have cable, and when they switch over to digital, I wont care either.

My T.V. is more of an accessory. It provides nothing more that a use of space in my living room. As far as FOX et.al., they will keep airing this horse hockey as long as an advertiser will pay for the spot. They don't care about accuracy or fact. If they were to be able to get viewers and advertisers to sponsor and support some holocaust denier, they would put it on 24/7.

T.V.....the opiate of the ignorant! PERIOD.

EDIT:

Please, let me add this. I am in no way saying that someone who watches TV is an ignoramus! BUT...I have seen how it impacts people.

As a profession, I deal with troubled youth. All of which have been in jail or in an institution. Some of these kids come to me worried about the "end of the world" in 2012.

Why? Because they seen it on the Hysteria channel, and even worse one of their teachers made them watch videos on the subject in class while they were locked up. Right now I am trying to get this son of a ***** fired or at least have his teaching license yanked! It is reprehensible to tell these kids this! They are already problematic, but then to tell them they have no hope of surviving after 4 years...is ...good gawd, I have no words for it.

A star for you!

If you get a petition going I will be more than happy to send it out to all my contacts. My view on Fox is they will air anything that will increase their ratings. They have no moral values to their viewers and they should have the moral appitude to at least air both sides of this controversary. Mr. Sibrel is a dime short of reality. He worships the almighty…dollar! Viewers that believe this crap need a reality check as well!

Mr. Sibrel makes a living at nonsense by filming one-sided "documentaries" on the subject. It's not clear whether he actually believes it, or is just saying he does to get publicity and notoriety. What is clear is that he makes himself a nuisance to the men who he should instead be honoring.

This so-called attack on him by Buzz Aldrin is sheer nonsense.

By all reports, Mr. Sibrel is much larger than Buzz. Astronauts were always shorter than average in stature, because they had to fit first into fighter cockpits, and later into small cramped spacecraft. He's also much younger. Buzz is into his eighth decade, while Sibrel is 37, a little over half Buzz's age. Yet we're supposed to believe that Buzz, a Ph.D from MIT, would risk a fight with a younger, stronger man? It defies physics and common sense.

By his own admission, he walked up to a man who risked his life to help us win the Cold War, and called him a liar and a thief to his face. Is this sufficient provocation for an assault? I don't know what the legal situation is in Beverly Hills, and I'm not generally in favor of fisticuffs. Buzz the next beer is on me! As far as the videotype…no shocker there! A man who makes his living creating documentaries has videotape. He also probably has an expensive production studio, or knows people who do. How hard is it these days, with fancy computer-generated imagery, to fake up a video showing the impossible--a 72-year-old fist reaching up to strike a 37-year-old jaw?

Of course, the hardest part of the theory to buy is that NASA, an organization of thousands of people in a position to know, and its contractors, were all paid off, or threatened into never talking about how the lunar landings were staged. If NASA could actually pull that off, it would be a greater achievement than landing people on the moon. This would be one of the biggest stories of the century, but we're asked to believe that in a government that leaks to the press like a shot gunned sieve, not only is no one talking, but also that all of the astronauts are lying as well. None of them will break ranks.

I doubt that anything intentionally done to make money will ever warrant an apology from the offender.

TV is no part of my life either... at least not voluntarily. At this time, my computer is in the kitchen and I can hear the TV quite clearly in the living room as my wife watches it. Ick.

At least I am going deaf.

naw, I'd say we all go down to 1211 Avenue of the Americas, NYC New York and pull a couple of Buzz es and just punch

oh, and some ones going to have to bail me out... send Buzz

Bill O'Reilly once apologized for being wrong about the alleged existence of WMDs (weapons of mass destruction) in Iraq several years after they were proven to not exist. For all the good it did. In general, you shouldn't expect apologies from FOX news, and it is seldom that other "news" organizations apologize either.

No

as Geoff pointed out, the Mythbusters segment was a godsend, as it fueled the rational arguments of the masses (who, after all, wants to visit Clavius and study pixels and lens shadows? Its much easier to say "Jamie said so!")

the bad news is... MAYBE 10% of the rabid Moon Hoaxers were convinced they were wrong.

As to Fox... I think we are seeing a pattern here, as I don't watch TV anymore, unless I am in a sports bar, where its a novelty. (its a fad... just you wait) but I have seen some of the atrocious "reporting" done on Fox News, where they pretty much have decided that the "facts" are whatever they WANT them to be... and that's the NEWS division of Fox!

I remember that "The X-Files" used to air on Fox... maybe they watched too many re-runs and they convinced themselves that aliens and government conspiracies were ALL REAL!

One of the advantages of not owning a TV since 1981 is not having been exposed to Rupert Murdoch's brand of "News and Information."

Having said that, it will be interesting to see if I keep my subscription to WSJ.
