Now Fox news is going after Prince!

Ha, ha, our lil buddy is getting dissed by Fox news now that he made his boneheaded comments about burqas:

http://www.foxnews.com/en...test=faces

If you notice, the one picture they use makes P look more darker skinned. Wonder why they did that? Wink.

I guess Prince forgot about the Lovesexy cover. I guess Muslim women don't have the same freedom. I fear this could finally end his career.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Faux news is a frigging joke. They have a reputation for being anti-muslim and spinning news without all the facts.

I like the subject line "Pop Tarts."

Looks like this time Prince may have ticked off more than just us haters on the org.

Wasn't prince pro freedom to wear what you want to wear? He was being critical of the French government outlawing Muslim wear. The women were protesting for their freedom to wear what they wanted?

The link says "singer Prince says all islamic women happy having to wear burqas" and that is clearly not what he said!

Love how people interpret what he says however they want.

He ought to know by now that he shouldn't bring up touchy religious and social topics in an interview promoting his European concert tour. lol

That's Fox news, I mean "Faux" news for you. They've always had a reputation for spinning things backwards just to grab viewers' attention, and of course their clueless followers will believe anything Faux news spoonfeeds them. What else is new? Must be a slow day in their news room. bored

agreed, even though I think he was actually defending freedom, it's not really the kind of thing you just throw out casually without an explanation

Trouble is he is his own worst enemy - if you've got sonething to say and it's controversial or has the potential to be misunderstood or wrongly presented then it's probabl best to allow a journalist to use a notepad

A lot of these "news" agencies use "creative wording" to make interesting "news". The more clicks the more royalties they can demand.

I know, right! Next thing, we'll have Michelle "I'm cuckoo 4 coco puffs" Bachmann railing against her fellow Minnesotan in a desperate move to win the GOP nom. Of course everyone here on the .org knows she gets her rocks off everytime she listens to Darling Nikki in her closet. Of course, knowing her she may blame Obama for the very creation of the song. lol

I knew this would blow up.....publicity for Prince! But I totally understand what he is saying here.....our country is in CHAOS!!!! Noise pollution. Other countries have order and that is something the US needs! It is very simple when there isn't choices to be made, I've lived in a country where their is 1 type of juice to buy, 1 way of living. While freedom is all fun and dandy when its positive outcomes, but there is too much negative outcomes that come with freedom. The US isn't all that its cracked up to be with their so-called "freedoms." The problem with order, there comes evil. You just can't win. People need to think before they jump all over things...

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol

But then, when stuff hits the fan, he can't claim he was misquoted.

You said it all in five words. Journalism, my ass. Sensationalism, aye. Prince just gave them fodder for "yellow" newscasting, which is their modus operandi. razz

Y'all knew Faux News was gonna talk shit, in fact I was expecting it. I think Prince's comments came out Friday so that didn't give them dummies time to air it. lol
