Fox apologizes to Jews for poll on who murdered JesusBy Dan Gilgoff, CNN.com Religion Editor (CNN) - Fox Latin America has pulled and apologized for an online poll that asked who was responsible for Jesus’ death and included Jews as a possible response. The poll had been posted on a Facebook page for National Geographic Cable TV in Latin America as part of a promotional effort for a Christmas special on the channel, according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish group. The National Geographic Channel in Latin America is a member of Fox International Channels, part of News Corp. “Christmas Special is coming to Nat Geo… Who do you think responsible for the death of Jesus?” the Spanish-language poll asked, according to the Wiesenthal Center. The multiple-choice responses were “Pontius Pilate; The Jewish People; the High Priests.” On Wednesday, the Wiesenthal Center announced that the National Geographic Channel in Latin America had removed the poll and apologized for it. "We sincerely apologize for the publication of a poll on our website that might have unintentionally given place to interpretations, opinions or expressions of intolerance that might affect the Jewish community," Fox Latin America’s vice president for corporate communications and PR said in a statement. “This would contradict the mission and spirit of National Geographic worldwide, which focuses on education for diversity through shows questioning our world,” said the vice president, Guadalupe Lucero. "We have also taken appropriate measures to prevent such incidents in the future,” he said. soundoff (1,653 Responses)« Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35

What else would you expect from Noticias Falsas?
I want to say something about this, but I'm waiting to see "hinduism source of hindufilthyracism"'s take on this.
Great items from you, man. I have be aware your stuff prior to and you're just too fantastic. I actually like what you've acquired here, certainly like what you're saying and the best way in which you are saying it. You are making it entertaining and you continue to take care of to keep it wise. I can't wait to read far more from you. This is really a wonderful website.
I think we only have to look at the LOTR movies for the anwser to your question, Jonathan. I should probably first clarify that I'm a very big fan of the movies, and have seen them all multiple times. Yet there are aspects of the movies that annoy me a little.Jackson threw a lot of violence into the movies. Battles scenes are epic and prolonged.The romance had to be drawn out. I wonder if I was the only one who didn't like the scene where Aragorn falls off the cliff? Arwen/ his horse kiss him and wake him up (I mean seriously, what is up with that?)Or the fact that even the best of characters in Tolkien's novels must have more bad attributes, like Farimir taking Frodo to Osgiliath.And Jackson has to add more drama to the tales. Frodo sends Sam away, and Sam actually leaves. Or the skulls in the Paths of the Dead, which pour out onto Aragorn, Legolas and Gimil.There are also instances that I think are more justified, such as Gimli as the comic relief dwarf (imagine watching 12 hours of film without a laugh. Or the omission of Tom Bombadil (another character who appears only shortly would probably just be confusing).However, my point, is that Jackson wanted to/ felt he had to sensationalize the story for our audience.
