Well, you know, by mass-media standards, that interview wasn’t so bad.

My earlier comment went video-unseen. It still stands. But it sure could have been a lot worse.

See when the blonde went, what do you think? Heh heh…think she wanted to say what SHE thought, on the air? There they were, in one of those moments where, if you are on the air for a living, your job might be on the line…

What would YOU say?

FOX should not even be allowed to call their lies “news”..it is quite simply a right wing/Bush PR firm. When have they ever told or accepted the truth? Morons,plain and simple. By the way Loren..great work on “Monster Quest”! Good to see a show that takes a serious and realistic approach to the crypto-world. I have seen more “crypto” news and shows on mainstream television than at any time since probably the early to mid 70’s peak when all the great documentaries first started showing up. Maybe this will “hook” a whole new generation of bigfoot and crypto enthusiasts. I know the documentaries and shows like “In Search Of” are what piqued my interest as a young kid in the early 70’s. Great to see some serious debate going on and a few brave souls like Jeff Meldrum willing to risk their professional lives to seek and tell the truth. Heck, if you turn to FOX for your news, you must love being lied to. Take care Loren and keep up the good work!

Fox has a right to be “skeptical,” but not dismissive. Or cynical.

Interesting excahnge, Loren.

Does not surprise me about Fox News. Like I said before, they (and most of the other media) have a vested interest in “reassuring,” not challenging.

I must correct myself on the “only one print being found” comment in the above post. My bad.

Ok…in further reading of the posts here, I just discovered that the print was made on a riverbank, which to me, gives further validity to my own theory that whatever made the print was on an incline or decline (depending on which direction the creature was traversing). This gives credence to, or perhaps might explain the splayed-toes pattern of the print in question, if in fact, the creature was in the process of weight transfer to the other foot. It is somewhat odd that only one print was found, but this could simply mean that only one print was DISCERNIBLE.

As I said in the previous post, this is pure speculation at this point, because all of the facts are not in on this…yet?

Until all of the facts about this cast (or, casts) come in, I think we should be careful about what we assume. My personal opinion is that while the cast is odd-looking, one has to consider that perhaps the creature that made the print was on an uneven incline, or decline when making the step (or, print) that the cast was made of. To me, this would perhaps explain the splayed-toes pattern in the cast. The creature could have been in the process of shifting or transferring it’s weight to the other foot in an effort to overcome uneven terrain (which makes perfect sense, given the nature of the area where the cast was made). Of course, at this point, this is purely conjecture. But, as I said, we really can’t make these assumptions and speculations, because we simply don’t have all of the details yet.

As for Fox News (or, Faux News as I call it), I would expect nothing different from them, in the way they handled this report.

They put a negative spin on anything that doesn’t fit neatly into the status quo “Neo-Con” box. On the other hand, I suppose that, as others have pointed out, some exposure is better than none at all. However, to the non-discerning viewer, this subject winds up appearing laughable and foolish, which I’m sure is the intended result by Fox News. This is unfortunate and I’m sure that this only happens because “big media” is heavily controlled and censored. To me, objective reporting is pretty much dead, as far as “big media” news, such as presented by Fox.

Thank God for the internet, where one can review information on topics and form their own opinion with far less pre-injected subjectiveness.

I agree with captainadam_21 as far as Walter Cronkite is concerned, but I’m not so sure about Brokaw. JMO.

Well, this is the way science is. The pioneers are always nuts until the evidence is all in.

Science is not done, nor advanced, by the peanut gallery, which pretty much includes everyone who wears a suit for a living.

Scientific American seems to be treating Meldrum with a straight face. That adds much more than the idiots at Fox take away.

Question:What’s that OTHER smaller cast that is shown in the second clip?

I was thinking it was a partial print probably of the heel

deejay,

Because Fox News seems to be the only large cable network putting stories like this one on. I don’t see CNN or MSNBC calling. That’s why they go on. Better to be mocked than ignored.

Say what you want about Fox News, but they are the only ones who even bother with this stuff.
