I was not watching Fox today, but I did Watch the CNN special on President Bush's presidency, and I thought it rocked. I may be bias, but CNN made President George W. Bush look GREAT! big surprise.
Personally, my only recent complaint with Fox is Chris Wallace. I would say he was hired and they have taken any turn they may have taken because their top ratings guy is that idiot O'Reilly. If more of us turned him off and watched Humme, the Beltway Boys, their news hours, Hannity and Colmes etc, then they might get the hint.
I don't mind Gretta doing crime stories particularly when there is not much news. I don't care much for their morning gang and I hate wasting time with the audiences in some of those shows before Smith, Gibson, Cavuto come on.
I try to go the workout every night during O'Reilly. Anyone who thinks it a smear we care about where the deed says his daddy's house was located is way out of touch.
But do not forget the bottom line. The existence of FNC acts as an anchor not letting CNN/MSNBC etal move too far to the extreme left just as Fox is fighting for the "center-left" with them.
It's not balanced anymore. It's moved to the left.
As long as they report BOTH sides I could care less. Confidence prevails!
Tony Snow, of all people, late last week said if Bush doesn't get a big bounce out of this convention, he's in big trouble.
Kerry gets elected we are in bug trouble. I would expect another major attack on our country with Kerry in office. I am sure he will blame it on bush when it happens too.
FoxNews CEO supports John Kerry and MOST OF US who know that they have gone Liberal have dumped them, so should you. We are only putting money in Kerry's campaign by watching Fox now, they have been bought and paid for by Democrat promises. I am praying for a christian tv channel to take their place with actual FAIR AND BALANCED reporting, FoxNews stinks now.
Yeah, Joe's MSNBC program did a good job on the Swift Vets, but that is the only one. Moreover, Joe's program is 100% opposed by that idiot Chris Matthews who has been railing against the Vets. Plus the other MSNBC programs come out against the Vets.
Secondly, MSNBC gets 0.2 ratings on average, and Joe's program gets 0.4 ratings. Fox typically gets 1.0 on average, and their primetime gets 1-2.0 ratings. So Fox gets the message of the Vets out, while very few watches MSNBC.
Third, Fox shows all these Laci stories to widen their audience. Not everyone is interested in politics. Hopefully, these viewers will be exposed to the Swifties along the way.
Fourth, Murdoch who runs Newscorp is pro-Bush, and so is Ailes who runs Fox News. Who cares if one or two guys at Newscorp is for Kerry? Fox having people from both sides gets them interviews with the Democraps, and that also helps with the ratings.
Lastly, I disagree with you that Fox isn't good at breaking news. Because they are close with the Bushies and Republicans, Fox breaks a lot more stories with their connections than the other news networks. Fox also had that exclusive with Karl Rove which no one else got.
I think you are complaining about nothing. What you want is a Rush-TV, which isn't Fox. Fox is right of center, but needs to cater to Democrats and liberals as well.
At 1:55 p.m. C.D.T., Kerry leads 57 to 41% over Dubya. Yeah, right, MSNBC, that's why you have zero audience. Kerry will be lucky to still be on the ballot in mid-September, and the maroons that vote your "polls" can't see the forest for the thighs; they're hugh!!!
Just sent and e-mail. I to have noticed they are pandering to much to the Left. They better watch out or they are going to lose their core base of viewers.
I had to stop watching FOX.
This poll needs a severe FReeping!
Do you have a name? Would like to know.
Fox needs to re-tool its entire line-up post Brit Hume hour.
It is filled with lib weenies and republican, cliche spouting retards.
I agree that Fox is not as great of a channel since they have been hammered by the left wing establishment as a right wing channel (which they weren't).
I have a big beef though with the fact that Fox gives the shortest interviews I have ever seen. They will sometimes get an important Senator or other public figure on and give him about 2 minutes and then cut away very quickly so they can cover Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson, Kobe, etc.
It might be easier to just email Roger Ailes.
Rita has lost weight and she looks Hot. I like that throaty voice of hers.
Thats a change? News to me.
I agree... where else will liberals hear the truth-side of things?
ewwww! That's not a throaty voice! It's a diseased larynx.
