I mean, seriously, do we need more trolls in here? Fox news is not a real news station. They're hell bent on distorting facts and manipulating their audience into supporting a pretty evil agenda... Does CCP really want to be associated with that? Do we really want to concentrate the user base on the kinds of people that are into that?

Someone doesn't know how interners ads work. And if fox is such a pariah in your eyes why did you go there to begin with.

Eve ads are constantly appearing on foxnews. It's not just a random rotating ad thing. I suspect they either have a contract with fox directly, or with some ad retailer that deals heavily with fox.
I mean, without fox news we very possibly would not have gone to war with Iraq. Fox News viewers are four times as likely as NPR listeners to have thought that we found conclusive proof that ****** was funding Al Queda. 80% of their viewers thought that, according the the U of Maryland study, despite there never having been any evidence to support that conclusion... Why? Because Fox said that all the time...
I just go there periodically to check out what malfeasence they're up to today :)

Its adsense which chooses what adverts you see depending upon your browsing history. So you see Eve advert there as you frequently visit eve related sites, and you see the colon cleanse stuff advert there because..... well I wont go on.

Go to a library or somewhere else you can find a public computer and go to Fox news, you will notice that you don't see any Eve adverts there "there is a chance but very unlikley". It is showing you those ads because you play eve, basically.

Im sure the colon cleanse is part of 'as seen on these newschannels' and cnn is probably affiliated with one or two of them under their parent companies.
What happens when there is only one opinion left? that there is called facts no matter how untruthful it is. There are many out there paraniod of a second opinion. I would rather have a second opinion than forced fed news from only one outlet thank you, and if you're so adamant against fox why are you going to that website, cant really troll there either. Unlike hating halo and going to a gamewebsite and rise hell there about it.

Although targetting ads to people who already spend a lot of time on the Eve site probably isn't the cleverest marketting strategy in the world.

unfourtuantly your own browsing history is betraying you in this manner, eve just contracts a company that looks though your browsing history to advertise.

If all you see are eve ads then you won't be seeing any other game ads.

Nah, having multiple perspectives is great. There are tons of legitimate, honest, news sources from the conservative side. For example the wall street journal or the economist meet anybody's definition of journalistic integrity. But Fox flat out distorts facts and sometimes even presents false information... That's a whole different deal.

If they were really smart, they'd target Eve ads to people that still play wow. That's certainly a crop ripe for pickin

Ill let you think that, just fox seems the only one able to see it from the 180 degrees form most other news channels, I just hope you came to that conclusion on your own instead of it being fed to you by the compititon as well.

Yeah I definitely did. I read lots of conservative papers and magazines and sites. I even read fox some. I do think it's crucial to get the perspective opposite to your own. I just also think fact checking and integrity are important. The WSJ, which I read regularly is at least as conservative as Fox. But before they present a single fact, they make 100% sure it's accurate, 100% sure it's not a misrepresentation, and if it could be misleading in any way, they explain that side of it before they go on to giving their perspective. Not so with fox.
I also read studies about their relative accuracy and the misconceptions they engender. Check this out if you're a fox facn http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/international_security_bt/102.php

ALL mainstream news websites should be avoided. Money is wasted on people who foolishly fall for the false left-right paradigm that FOX news, CNN, CNBC, and MSNBC are a part of.
Advertise on lewrockwell, infowars, antiwar... better people who would understand EvE's free market and adapt better.

If you think it's a fun challenge to trick some guy who thinks universal health care is 'fine' or 'maybe not the ideal solution' into a trap in eve, just think what a challenge it would be to trick some dude who thinks uhc is a secret conspiracy to implant explosive devices into our brains into a trap. Now that's eve how it's meant to be played. Paranoid and conpiratorial. ;)

I for one would love to hear the whines of anyone who reads foxnews about how their prized orca was ganked and how nobody gives a damn.
What are you afraid of? That someone who likes Fox will actually last in eve for more than a month?
More meat for the meat grinder.
