"Crazy Like A Fox" Comes Out Today "Crazy Like A Fox," a behind-the-scenes account of the cable news wars, officially hits bookstores today. CableNewser interviewed author Scott Collins last month, and excerpts are online now:
"The rise of Fox News is, to me, one of the biggest stories to hit the TV business in the past decade. In just a few years, FNC has not only overtaken CNN, but also changed the very dynamics of the news business. For instance, FNC's hosted shows are now the prime time model for cable news outlets. CNN's longtime "news is the star" mantra has been deemphasized, at least in prime. Witness that network's intense focus on Paula Zahn and Anderson Cooper. You certainly wouldn't have seen that even five years ago. One could even argue that cable news nets are helping turn politics into entertainment and polarizing popular debate."
