FoxNews has turned to crap! What follows is an email I sent yesterday afternoon to their General Comments address:

I just don't know what has happened to you people.

I discovered Fox News in the runup to the 2000 election, and have stuck by you faithfully ever since. The "We Report, You Decide" mantra really hits home for me. I like to be presented with the facts from which I can come to my own conclusion.

However, Fox News has started down a dangerous road: Endless "celebrity" pap like Michael Jackson and Martha Stewart (Scott Peterson and Robert Blake before them.) and rampant punditry masquerading as "news". Now, I watch Cavuto and Special Report - and ocassionally Studio B and the Big Story. The rest: the Hannity and Colmes shoutfest, O'Reilly's bag of hot air, Gretta's all-criminals-all-the-time, and that insipid garbage you call Fox and Friends; all have become unwatchable.

Get with it Fox! Cut the number of pundits and spinmeisters per hour. Update the "celebrity" news briefly, and continue on with News we can use!

Failure to do so will likely see you go the way the other networks have gone - the way of the dodo bird. At best, you will lose market share to another startup news organization, much the same way the Big Three lost market share to you.

Choose, but choose wisely.

We have major problems in South America.

The Venezuelan Maniac Chavez is threatening to harm our way of life by cutting oil and Fox does not tell us.

I don't like the idea of Chris Matthews and Hardball giving me more news than Fox.

I received an answer from from a Fox staffer named Brian and he wasn't real pleased with the way I told them about my displeasure.

I reminded Fox that I switched to them when CNN would not quit doing the same types of news stories aimed at liberal Airheads and Teeny Poppers.

I think that Fox may have to go through a ratings plunge before getting back in the grove.

I usually keep two televisions tuned to Fox in the office. Today however, they were switched to MSNBC during the M&M hype.

Someone in the office wondered if Fox was being paid to hype Martha's new personality.

I wonder if the Pope really is considering her for Saint Hood due to her miraculous change to the good side.
