So, remember Cooper Lawrence on the Fox Newscast? EA sent a letter to Fox News noting the various inaccuracies of the report and suggesting the unfairness and bias behind it, and basically asking for, if not a recant, acknowledgment of the mistake.

Well, Fox News technically replied to that email–in form of a Blackberry text message that read one line something along the lines of “Please contact the Fox public relations department.”

EA Vice President John Brown is not about to let the matter slide, for which I’m thankful, but I think in this situation we may have to concede the fact that Fox News is really not important anyway, and probably we should all just stop watching it instead of expect it to give us proper news. We’ll turn to the BBC or something.

Still, let’s hope that EA really starts to crack down on the absurd and outlandish statements made about video games nowadays. From journalists looking to aggrandize themselves and political candidates spewing nonsense about video games in order to promote their campaign, video games are entering the spotlight stage–much like books and movies before them. Let’s put on our best defensive faces and fight back with all we’ve got. Eventually the media’s glaring look will turn back to petty scandals and gaudy celebrities, and we can have our video games in peace.

This is a diplomatic war, gentlemen and ladies. Here’s to the future victory.
