The difference is that they're not the same station. While that doesn't really matter all that much, it's still not the same channel. But since Sky also doesn't air in most countries, I'm still sticking to CNN as a more widely known channel.
She apologized in the NY paper .. but not on air where the misinformation was broadcast around the nation?!? Try again.. and do it on AIR this time bitch.
EXACTLY! You can say anything you want in a national forum, so long as you apologize in a smaller forum...uh, WTF?
By the way, on what page number did they print the apology? Near the 'Letters to the Editor' or buried someplace??

Reason: ...and another question
Seriously, the part of the interview that pissed me off the most was her reaction when Geoff asked her if she had even played the game. She reacted as if he asked her if she ever sodomized a goat (which Perigon has and the video is on the net). Her reaction was as if the question was outlandish and inconceivable...as if she would never condescend to play a videogame. F-ing twat.
She took my favorite hobby and just shat all over it. Then she said that mostly teenage boys are playing videogames and to top it off, she cited some monkey assed study that said teenage boys couldn't distinguish videogame fantasy from reality. I've met stupid guys, but for f-cks sake I've never personally met anyone who couldn't comprehend what is videogame behavior and real f-ing life.
Are they doing their studies in a mental hospital? Because that may help skew the numbers...

Fuck, someone else who suspects the full extent of Perigon's furry fanaticism!!

yeah, I completely agree that she seems to think gaming is for little boys.
Shes entitled to her opinion, even if it shows her to be arrogant, ignorant and rather backwards. but, this apology just screams to me that she loves money more than anything else in the world, because I really dont think she is sincere.
I hope someone forces her to play through the entire game, just so she really gets it.
And then forces her to beat megaman 1-6, and all those other really difficult nes games whose names I cant remember. And everytime she dies she gets beaten.

I feel like I'm living in some bizarro world... Jack Thompson (of all people) actually defended Mass Effect. Excuse me a sec while I go collect my exploded brain bits.
Should submit this as a news post... the gaming community need to all give him a big pat on the back - try some positive reinforcement. Maybe if he gets lots of positive comments in response to a logical comment he’ll be less inclined to make stupid comments.

Meh, he's already a loser. Believe me, he's just looking for opportunities to make an ass of himself again, so the less media time he gets, the better.

Yeah. Alien side boob is a non-issue for him but Hot Coffee is of the devil.
And I love how his original e-mail to the Kotaku guy is "Grand Theft Auto IV to Be Released April 29; Culture War Begins Now"
I wonder if the reason he doesn't get all hot and bothered by Mass Effect is because it's not set in the 'real world' and because it's not this huge franchise like GTA is.

Really? No one got the reference? *sigh* I am going back to my books; they get me.
Nothing against you personally Sl1pstream

I semi-accept her apology...granted she can't ask FOX for air time to do the apology, but I guess something is better than nothing.
Hopefully she learned an important lesson and that's if you say something in a public medium which is essentially 100% false, you're subject to scorn & ridicule.
