Some of the offerings on FNC are arguably decent as well. The Five, Bill O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly, Sean Hannity, and Greta Van Susteren (sp?) are some I watch quite regularly -over the internet. It would make things quite difficult for people who can not receive OTA programs, or can not afford cable or satTV if it is even available in their area.
Even here, ATT is pulling out of the local DSL Internet Access options and no longer offering new High-Speed hookups unless you accept their bargain with the partner satTV provider, and satTV internet access is quite poor.
Those breaking news events are streamed online by the broadcaster. FoxNews would stream their coverage of an event like that online, guaranteed.
The local channels here stream breaking news events very frequently.
Not to mention, I am sick of following breaking news as it happens. Sick of “two shooters with one still on the loose” coverage.
News organizations are so interested in making sure they have all eyes, the garbage they rush out is sickening.
