I have been watching Fox non stop since Monday. And am amazed that Conservatives/Freepers think that they are not part of the MSM complex!

Shep Smith is a metrosexual version of Jerry Rivers. When that cretin Letterman has someone like Brit Hume as a guest we can talk again.

Fox News has been consistently good in its coverage of news. It's good to see the news reported without an automatic anti-American bias. Let's face it, everything bad that happens can't be George Bush's fault!

Except that Fox was useless every weeknight as they re-ran Hannity and O'Reilly over & over causing me to have to switch to CNN...

"CNN and MSNBC were good, but I kept gravitating towards Fox because ironically, I thought I could get less spin and more reportage there"

Which galls the MSM to no end.

Fox has been doing a real good job reporting the aftermath of Katrina. I'd say 80% of the time, its been Fox for me. CNN and msnbc have had their moments, but I think the powers that be at the 2nd and 3rd rated cablenews channels, made a decision to emphasize the negative storyline, the blamegame and the endless fingerpointing. Fact is, Fox has got more quality professionals and better personalities on air then the other two combined.

"Shepard Smith was the guest on 'Late Night with David Letterman' last nght"

Letterman couldn't get any liberals on, since it was a long weekend.

Fox has sucked like a Hoover Deluxe since the Hurricane Hit.
Their cable ratings are sinking fast at the same time those at CNN are climbing.
They are virtually tied right now.

I just wish FoxNews would tone down their dang banners splattered all over their screen.

Those banners cover up nearly 1/3 of the TV screen real estate, and they serve little purpose.

Put the first half of Britt Hume on a network feed. I'd love to see him go head to heads with the big 3.

The last thing we require is for Old Media to validate and recognize our credentials. The only danger now is to make sure FOX and the internet don't turn into old Liberal dinosaurs.

There seems to be a tendency to do that - once success is achieved, people turn soft and want to protect their position by going Leftist. Think "Animal Farm".

Fox is now officially a member of MSM. I check the news stations every hour or so. I used to just leave FOX on almost all day while working, now you get hardly any actual news from them.

Brit Hume is still the man. When Brit points out some left wing tripe he actually presents the data to back it up.

Well. That is ironic. He might as well say goodbye to all his 'friends' right now.

The author thinks it's ironic because he has already been spun by the MSM. Why else would he consider it "ironic" that he got more reportage?

This is an acknowledgement of a preconceived notion, and I would expect his favorable comments about fox news will cause him much distress at the next cocktail party.

Remember that old CBS tagline, This is CBS?

Well, "This is MSM." - Look at it.

Smith got there cuz he's a preening Ass that lost control of his bladder at the sight of an actual dead body

So it was a natural for the libs to invite the weakest link of the Fox lineup.

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.

Know what the single, most important part of the above is? Answer: The part about "radio assets". As Fox News continues to move in and replace the 'top-of-the-hour' five-minute radio newscasts that NBC, ABC, CBS, and NPR have dominated for decades, the influence of Fox News on the electorate will increase substantially. Do you have any idea how many people get the sum total of their news from these newscasts as they drive back and forth to work in their cars?
