Fox News Moves Up to the Next Level of Dominance in TV Coverage
Cable Newser ^ | Aaron Barnhardt

What better sign that Fox News Channel has arrived than the fact that Shepard Smith was the guest on 'Late Night with David Letterman' last nght, writes Aaron Barnhardt.

'As I said on the radio yesterday, the media world is coming to grips with the fact that Fox News has moved up to the next level of dominance in televised news.'

'It's coverage of the disaster was consistently gripping, even more so as the week went on...CNN and MSNBC were good, but I kept gravitating towards Fox because ironically, I thought I could get less spin and more reportage there.'

He concludes, 'In the coming years I fully expect Rodger Ailes to beef up Fox's global reporting, add some kind of a headline service, acquire better radio assets and make good on his slogan 'The Most Powerful Name In News.'

Tiresome, but becoming truer every day.

Fox does rock! And they have only further cemented their place as the best cable news net with their coverage of Katrina. Talk about being all over a story, although the subject matter has been especially tragic and sad, FNC has had solid coverage.
