While we're at it, can we address the unfair complaints against CNN (the Cassowary News Network)?

This thread is moronic.

  • The title's pun doesn't work, i.e. doesn't exist.
  • The premise is wildly flawed... there are very, very good reasons to not like foxes: consider the company they keep.
Go think about what you've done.

    Also, foxes eat sheep.

    Not entirely sure what's going on here, but I'm going to weigh in. Foxes don't always live up to their reputation as sly, deceitful hunters.

    Take a look at this footage recovered from Alaska: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSEd6O0bBFs
    It's getting along fine with two cats.

    I don't hate foxes. I love foxes. They are adorable and fun. I'd even consider raising one, if I didn't know how difficult they can be to care of.

    They seem alright a lot of the time, but to be honest it usually decays into a yelling contest pretty fast.

    I don't have time to watch the other news networks (and kind of haven't gotten around to it I guess), so I can't really give a truly unbiased opinion here.

    That's even worse... if it's not meant to be a pun as we've seen with other "deceit threads" then it's just plain clickbait. I suppose it could be a clever commentary on the clickbait phenomenon, but Shof loses points for not having managed to get enough posts in the thread to reach a point where he can reveal this. I suggest that the main reason for this is the absent pun.

    Yes, you're right, not all foxes. Just red/silver foxes and arctic foxes. So... the ones people care about.
