Group,
Has anyone acted on this yet? I did and hopefully the ancor will learn some history.

I wanted to bring the following episode synopsis of the Fox TV show "Back to You" to your attention for much needed action. The following was posted to Polish Media Issues group and is copied with permission from the writer. I have bolded the offending slander:

"Last night my wife and I sat down to watch the only comedy we regularly watch on television, Back to You, which is set in a Pittsburgh television station's news room.

The sports anchor was trying to encourage one reporter to join him in a bowling match against a rival television station. The reporter, who is Polish (with a made-up, unpronounceable last name, even in Polish) declined because it was his anniversary and he wanted to get home to his wife.

But the sportscaster pressed on. "C'mon Gary. Bowling is in your Polish blood, like kielbasa, and collaborating with the Nazis."

Well, needless to say, I was stunned."

This is clearly a case where the number of complaints showing collective Polish ire matters. Please drop Fox a couple of lines asap.

Trying to get contact info for Fox Broadcasting is difficult, but finally I have the following:

Phone:
In Los Angeles: 310-369-1000

Email, to the best of my knowledge:
user@fxnetworks.com OR askfox@foxinc.com OR send your email to one address and copy the other.

Also please print your email and send through regular (snail) mail to:

20th Century Fox Studios
Attention: "Back to You" show
10201 W Pico Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90035

This is on live TV and I draw the line with some fool saying Poland "collaborating with the Nazis" after what the Nazi did to Poland?

Hello

Thats not idiots, nothing happens without a reason. Jews like to insult Poland, thats allowed. On the other hand you will be antysemitic if you try to defend...

The problem is that ordinary hamburger-consumer doesnt catch the drift at all, and Jews are very happy to fill this gap...

I dont intend to insult anyone.If someone doesnt like I use a word 'jew' please get yourself involved how the world works a like and who are the owners of FOX.

Regards

Fox is run by JEWS. That place is infested. How dare they call Poles collaborators with the Nazis?? How would you react if your family was put up against a wall and they told you they would execute them if you didn't give the names of Jews to the Nazi's? It's easy to criticze for them, when they have not been in the same position. I would have given them away to save my family, yes sir, and there are many instances where people PAYED WITH THEIR LIVES to save Jews they didn't even know.

******* cowards

I am Roman Catholic, Polish and I don't consider myself as anti Jewish. I must point out it was Jews that pointed out where Polish army lived in eastern Poland in 1940. It went both ways. That way the Russia's didn't have to search so hard. Then again in 1947 it was a Jewish couple that helped my father when he was left without his mother in Africa. By then there were no Germans or Russians to hide from.

Erica from Fox told me it was most likley due to a writers strike. I told her that the Polish people at the very least deserve to hear him say he's sorry.

Wernt FOX "news" the people who conspired with bush to rig the elections a few years back? And isnt FOX "news" already the laughing stock of the rest of the world anyway,with all its naked propaganda re recent world events and completly one sided "reporting" and interviews where some anchor accused a veitnam vet who brought up the subject of abuse in iraq as "anti american" and a "traitor"? Do's anyone in the states actually belive the tripe that spouts from Murdochs bile spewing media enterprises?

The Fox Network is run by the Australian Zionist/Jew Rubert Murdoch & the programming reflects his worldview...why are you surprised?...Fox Network has been one of the propagandists for the American invasion of Iraq, in support of Zionist interests...and yes,
Americans believe this propaganda because the majority still are glued to their TVs and
don't seek alternative news sources...however, this is changing, as witness the increasing momentum & attention being gained by Presidential candidate Ron Paul.

HENRY FORD in (The Dearborn Independent, 12-19 February 1921
"Jews have always controlled the business... The motion picture influence of the United States and Canada... is exclusively under the control, moral and financial, of the Jewish manipulators of the public mind."

CAPOTE, TRUMAN. 20th century American writer. In an interview, he assailed "the Zionist mafia" monopolizing publishing today, and protested a tendency to suppress things that do not meet with Jewish approval.

I've never even heard of the show or know anyone that has ever seen it. These are just a few writers that think they're funny and failed miserably.

I can see you saying this about the people that wrote the not funny comedy, but the way you generalize about all of us makes you just as ignorant.

You don't know me and you have no idea about my knowlege of poland. I'm not fat and it's not my fault our President is an idiot. I don't really know what a stel is, but i don't do that either.

emember the French were in no way collarborting with the Germans


Pétain and the Vichy regime willfully collaborated with Nazi Germany to a high degree. The French police organized raids to capture Jews and others considered "undesirables" by the Germans in both the northern and southern zones.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vichy_France

Germans wanted to do sth simillar in Poland but couldnt find any authorieties who would like to colaborate with them

French even formed SS division for Germans ...

The 33. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS Charlemagne (französische Nr. 1) and Charlemagne Regiment are collective names used for units of French volunteers in the Wehrmacht and later Waffen-SS during World War II.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33rd_Waffen_Grenadier_Division_of_the_SS_ Charlemagne_(1st_French)

ss

Find me any Polish SS division

and maybe here is the answer why in Poland before the war was about 3 mln jews ... not in France


and Italians were official allies of Germany ... not colaborators

I feel that an "apology" from fox is not enough. This should be taken all the way to court and people need to wake up and boycott these scumbags. It's not just about writing letters and e-mails, majority will be ignored and end up in trash can. There's more effective ways to voice your opinion about what was said. Like YouTube which could generate hundred of thousands of hits. Let's expose these bastards for who they truly are; bigots.

This is the only truth about WWII:

In general, German policy was to organize volunteer military units among Nazi sympathizers in occupied countries. Of all the occupied nations only the Serbs, Greeks and Poles refused to form Nazi volunteer units.

Looks like the message board for this TV Show is full after that airing.....but there is an official apology too.....

But this is a "fictional show".....I agree with Zgubiony....sounds like bad writing for the script.....I wouldn't take it too seriously. :)

Slovaks were on the side of Germans - not all of course but they had collaboration government and what even most Poles don't know they attacked us in 39 together with Germans. Czech I think didn't have "own" units but Czech part of Czechoslovakia was annexed into 3rd Reich, so probably many people from there were drafted to Wehrmacht just like many Poles from Silesia and Pommerania - usually by force but not always - they were traitors too. Unusual thing in case of Poland was that there weren't any "official" Polish unit or collaborating administration but there obviously were individual traitors.

I am sorry I did not get to this sooner.

Its a start,Carol

Facing pressure from Polish officials and Polish-American groups, Fox last night apologized for airing an "insensitive line of dialogue" in an episode of "Back to You" and vowed never to air the clip again.
