On behalf of the [ECA], the national non-profit organization representing American video game consumers, I urge you to correct and repudiate the misstatements leveled by Fox News’ Live Desk regarding the story and character interactions in Mass Effect.

Your show’s reporting was irresponsible and incorrect. Your own “expert” Cooper Lawrence has subsequently disclaimed her misstatements… In the future, we ask that you book real gamer and industry experts on your show…

ECA’s members are disturbed by your news organization’s apparent disregard of the truth in this instance. We represent a diverse group that cuts across all ages, with the weightiest portion in the coveted 18 - 45 age group, and with women accounting for 38% of gamers. Over the past week, our members have mobilized to speak out and set the record straight on Mass Effect, and we ask the same of you.

Man fox is so terrible. Just a horrible network which has no problem showing its bias and portraying itself as a awful news source. Though this did prove my argument with a friend. Not sure what we were doing about a month ago or so, but we had cnn or msnbc on and hes like change it this channel is so terrible. Then hes like if I want news Ill watch fox. Everyone in the room just stopped and looked at him and like your kidding right. Fox is the devil of broadcasting with its ability to capture the stupid. Damn you simpsons for making me watch that channel.
