Murdoch’s companies always follow a regression once established in the market. He did the same in Australia and the UK well before he had Ailes direct Foxnews down market.

I think you’re confusing “smut” with “news”

If it is weird or perverted the world needs to know it!

I am so glad you posted this. I saw this today as well, and now I have added foxnews.com to the websites that I will not allow my children to view.

Sad.

Yeah, I’ve noticed the “Sexpert” column the past few weeks. It’s certainly something a bit too trashy to be featured on a “news” website.

There's something wrong with that?

I checked the "5 Ways to Get Her in Bed" article.

(Not that I need any advice about that, but still...)

The Fox News expert suggests serving the lady a "Molotov cocktail".

Has that one aired yet? ;)

Google has a few sponsored links on the MyWay homepage that are just unbelieveable. ...one in particular -- "Looking for married women? Bored housewives who want to have fun? Click here."

I'm not easily taken aback, but that one did the trick.

It’s not just a change to smut. The first signs of change to a loss of real integrity and intelligent reporting occured with Greta’s “Wait until you hear what happened next.....” followed by a commercial. That started about a year ago and I believe was the beginning of the decline of Fox News.

Fox news uses a metrics based system that reads usage cookies on your computer and customizes content based on your browsing history in the same way Amazon puts books you would like on the home page when you visit.

Example, if you visit a lot of business related websites, it will give emphasis on business news with the themes of sites you visit.

And I posted this... How embarrassing!

So I suppose you can’t find anything like this when FOX comes up on your computer?

Just kidding again. FOX has twisted my sense of humor toward the sarcastic.

That’s why I’ve got Firefox to specifically block the pics on their web site. I read some of their content without the exploitative pics.

Oops! I missed some smut!

FOX will even do a story on a competing “News” agency if they get naked!

The “Naked” part must confer some honor in journalistic circles or be a sign of legitimacy if they use it in their title.

You’re right. That is where the Sexpert story was up top.
I hope they changed the title just for us!

Has anyone bothered to read the article before jumping to conclusions? It’s all romance stuff. But then, to some people, stoning is in order for a woman who has a premarital kiss. Grow up people.

Fox News used to be my homepage. Switched a few months ago for the very reason you suggest. So, yes, it seems they are selling Sex. Someone told them it sells. That’s also the chief reason I stopped watching O’Reilly

Many FR posters have become increasingly intolerant. Fox new is not pushing smut - read the articles. The whole discourse of the Republican primaries is made up of nothing but ad hominem attacks not reasoned discussion of the issues. FR is in danger of losing its relevance - just look at the fact it has taken over a week for the Q1 fundraiser gto reach a mere 27% of the goal.

Having seen a Naked News broadcast ... I fully endorse Fox doing a “Naked News”-style-”broad”cast. It would certainly draw viewers ... they don’t call it “Fox” News for nothing. Laurie Dhue, Heather Nauert, and Dagen McDowell could head the thing up.

As to the initial topic ... sex sells, even in news. Fox gives good news and balanced reporting regarding political topics ... but they’re still subject to ratings.

I rarely visit the FOX news website but their broadcasts are certainly headed the same way. O'Reilly seems to be the worst.

Always decrying girls gone wild/girl fights captured on cell phone video/ Debra LeFave/ Jennifer Hewitt in a bikini/ etc ad nauseum while ALWAYS showing the salacious B-roll video under his comments.

After the media being totally dominated by the swirl of political lies you got to admit that it is fun to read!
This time of the political season the MNM ignore almost all else and consume themselves with political agendas. If they can’t find a political story then they just make one up.
I’m already sick and tired of politics. The MNM needs to tell me what is going on, tell me what the different candidates are saying and doing and then shut the ..... up and let me make up my own mind. Don’t tell me how to think or what to think. That is what political parties are supposed to do not reporters and networks. I want to hear the other news that is going on in this country and the world.
