[ETERNAL WARMING]

Forgive this intrusion, Nick...but I've got a problem. I can't seem to get off the message page...just an occasional article post showing up...yours is the one. :0) Is everyone having this problem? Does anyone know what I can do about it? I've tried hitting News and Activism, Browse etc. It isn't working.

Is there a reason to post such garbage??

While Brit Hume and Tony Snow provide solid political analysis in the early evening....

And thank goodness for that. If not for Brit's excellent Special Report, FNC would be pure tabloid tv.

FOX made me sick of tv, and I'm a boomer. I cancelled the cable service and now have NO tv at all, and it's mainly because of FOX with their incessant tabloid-level coverage of the Peterson case.
If it's making them $ and they want to become the Nat'l Enquirer of tv, fine. Maybe a good conservative network will arrive to fill the vacuum. Call it WVRW (Vast Right Wing) and I'll re-subscribe. :)

This guy is correct. Fox is coming off as just another news-glitz network. The wall-to-wall coverage of the Jackson story is revolting. I'm actually watching CNN to get coverage of the war and other important international incidents.

Why is it a bad thing that dead soldier stories are not paraded before the viewer every evening day after day after day? That sort of reporting hurts political support, imo.

Military families must be enraged when night after night, Kobe Bryant and Scott Peterson lead the coverage on the "network America trusts for fair and balanced news,

He has a point. I'm sitting at home tonight with a watchful eye on our driveway for the foreboding strange car to pull up with bad news and the top of the hour news covered all of the tabloid garbage. News of the downed helipcopter didn't even warrent a mention. The Iraqi deaths were mentioned followed by Jackson, Jackson, Jackson and Medicare. Our forgotten war was forgotten again.

FOX's critical problem is in the area of NEWS JUDGMENT. I was watching FOX early in the buildup to the Iraq War and saw an interview with an important foreign policy expert - and they cut away to show live video from a helicopter hovering over the rescue of a dog that had been stranded on an ocean cliff in Northern California. They need to learn that just because something is capable of being shown on television doesn't mean is should be.

Any network that would hire Shepard Smith to do anything other than empty the spittoons is seriously screwed up.

[PROUDAMREP]

Watching Fox is like watching the dimo talking points. Whatever the topic is on Fox & Friends, it will continue throughout the day. Just different commentators. I get tired of reading the scroll line to get the latest news.

Like you, I have been going to MSNBC and CNN to at least find out what is going on in the world. When the Fox ratings drop, maybe they will remember who put them at number one in the first place.

[GodBlessUSA]

I agree that I have been turning off Fox due to the constant coverage of, Peterson and Jackson.

Frustration of Fox News is understandable. However, regardless of what Fox News does, I will NEVER turn on CNN. They are unforgivable with how they mis-represent the facts. I will read the news via internet rather than support such a liberal mouthpiece news source. They have done nothing to support our troops. They are shameless.

After President Bush declared the "end of major combat operations" on May 1, the cable networks effortlessly returned to their prewar programming staples -- pop culture and true crime. At the time, this made sense; few expected the casualties of the postwar to exceed the official war.

Count me among that "few."

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

The newspapers aren't as bad as the tube about Lacy/Scott/Kobe/Michael. Not as up to the minute for breaking news but a good source never the less.
