Outstanding! Much better treatment than the NYTimes....
Spot on, wouldn't you say? I just posted it on Facebook.
Fair and balanced! O0
I'm impressed! Nice article. O0 ^:)^
A bit dry. but factual.
I wish they could have made it more exciting, more depth and longer.
What is it about NOT providing a link ? Seems to be a common theme nowadays. Yes, I know people can google. But still.
Back to the grindstone.
Marrandy,
How about being the first one to make a comment on the article and include a link.
TruT.
I posted the link. Still waiting for it to appear.
Too bad the headline was "Appleseed Teaching History with Guns" instead of "Appleseed Teaching History with RIFLES!"
It just aired on Fox News at 10:25. I don't know if it will repeat at :25 past next hour, or in two hours according to Fred's original post.
I hope one of you has a DVR and can get the video for our archives!
Hopefully this will lead to other things like radio interviews on some of the big firearms related shows. Things like Guntalk, the NRA News show, or Armed American Radio.

California, Oregon, Washington, etc. tune your DVR to FoxNews and record at 10:25AM please!
Just saw it at 10:25 and taped it but I am technology impaired and do not know how to get it off machine >:(
I know Fox puts a lot of videos on their website. We might be able to dig it up there.

Look in the archives for Armed American Radio. We've been there.
We should do it again.
Spreading the word on forums and blogs......
Has it aired again since 10:25?
Lots of nice comments starting to appear!

Replaying in a few minutes!!
It is 11:10 in Wyoming as I write this. The fox news commentator just showed a short scene of appleseed, and said the story is coming up.
The print article was better. Too much edited out of the TV one.
Still a pretty fair portrayal, much better than NYT (who had MUCH more opportunity to get it right...).
WTG, West GA students and instructors!

I wish they had called them rifles, but all in all pretty good. Still hoping to be on tv so I can say I was on fox and cops.
Video is up

Just put it on my Facebook! It's nice to have an article as a promotional tool that's actually accurate ;D
I posted a comment to this story with the link to the Appleseed web site. It took over 1 1/2 hrs from the time I submitted it to the time my comment finally got put up. Hopefully people reading that story will read the comments that all have posted and check Appleseed out! I've also posted the story's link on my Facebook page as well. Free advertising! O0
Thanks for letting us know about the news story!

I better get my rear end over there and make some comments myself.
Looks like record number of guests to the forum. Can we safely say there is a correlation?
Looks like we are in our second day of nationwide exposure on Fox News. At about 7:10 Eastern this morning, "Fox and Friends" aired a 2-minute segment pointing out how we use the marksmanship as a "hook" to get people to hear the heritage.
And there's a report this morning from Texas that Fox radio news had a segment at about the 5 AM time period (hmmm, that would be 7 AM Eastern - or 6?).
Hope some of you can catch and record - check the "ten past the hour" time slot for the next few hours... O0
Great report, glad to see the coverage!
I just met with one of our guests from Fox to return some equipment that got left behind on Saturday. He said the story may air throughout the week on Fox News. This weekend it should run a few times between 9am-11am est and 4pm-8pm est. He also said that local Fox 5 in Atlanta will be taking the footage and compiling their own story to run one day this week or next, he wasn't sure. So hopefully all this boils down to introducing a few thousand more Americans to the Appleseed Project.
WOW!! They got it right!! ^:)^ The Commentator's ending statement was great- quite a departure that various political groups are generally presenting, at least out West.

I saw the piece @0710 hrs on Fox & Friends this morning. it was short, but well done. can't help but boost interest!
