As for Biscardi, many of you are right, I think he was chosen because he is a joke. Someone like Loren would have responded to questions thoughtfully, which wouldn’t make for good “Fair and Balanced” Fox news. Instead, they needed a dancing monkey. I am saddened that this is where journalism is headed: 24/7 infotainment. Even the old guard of journalism now routinely report on Britney and Paris Hilton. Sad.

On the other hand, even if they did have (let’s say) Loren on Fox, I doubt they would treat the subject honestly and obejctively anyway. I would even venture to say the Fox people know that Biscardi is dubious so they deliberately had him on to further discredit the possibility if the existence of Bigfoot.

This is a pattern for all of their “unusual” news coverage. I remember when the morning news show Fox And Friends had ufologist James Fox on to promote his movie about UFOs. When Fox declared the existence of UFOS (not aliens, UFOS) they totally blew him off and even sort of cut him off at the end. It was that pathetic hack John Scott who did it. Figures. Tabloid show graduates generally have a cynical, dismissive attitude for anything that does not fit into the world-view of their bosses.

I also still remember how they sort of overbombarded the great Nessie researcher Adrian Shine with questions last time he was there. And what Loren went through last time he was there too.

CNN basically does the same thing too. Jim Marrs has it right—the media today is maintaining the “status quo.” Keeping people “happy” and “unquestioning.” No more. No less.

HOOSIERHUNTER says: “On a lighter note (lol) who’s for sending Biscardi to Alaska for an overnight bike ride?”

LOL. But….Dunno, man. Sometimes on this topic it’s good to have something to laugh at. Because the attention it does get is, when viewed from any other standpoint…well, sad.

Couldn’t agree more with every single comment about Fox Nooze. Unless I missed a positive one, for which I don’t apologize.

And in Todd Neiss we have the kind of bigfoot advocate everybody SHOULD be interviewing. Except he doesn’t provide opps for sniggers and yuks. Note this excerpt:

——————————————–
Then the host, Greg Jarrett asked him why nobody has ever been able to prove the existence of a Bigfoot, to which Biscardi rambled on about unexplored regions of the United States (?), the “fact” that nobody has ever found the skeletal remains of a bear (??), and that GPS wouldn’t even work where he was (???).
———————————————

Note how Todd neatly erases just about every handy proponent excuse (in one sentence!). Which is what should be happening. If this animal exists - and the evidence says it does - a substantial reason it’s unconfirmed is all those unnecessary excuses offered by proponents who haven’t thought it through, at all. Hey, Todd. Seriously. Where IS your website?

So, a good time being had by all. Hey, HOOSIERHUNTER, it could be worse. Let’s just smile at this one; the quicker the Biscardis of the world dig themselves holes the quicker they disappear.

Graybear: if it don’t exist, find a dope for the gist.

Hey, that only took a few seconds. Some slack, man.

GPS is satellite based and I wonder if the idiot would have said “Google Earth” doesn’t even show this place if he was given enough time to do so

Not everybody is as stupid as you are Tom

Being an Upstate New Yorker who’s experienced some weird things in the woods, it’s disappointing to hear that the investigation into the sighting in the Catskills is being led by someone with such a “questionable” reputation. Believe me, having grown up in rural, wooded New York State, I know full well how easy it is to hide in those woods, or get lost in them.
