Well, as long as my retirement investments are in FoxNews News Corp stock, I want them to go for RATINGS. The ratings now are Natalee Holloway.

Yeah, they cover other subjects. I'll let CNN be "morally superior" ... and a stockmarket loser.

You would probably agree that's the easy way out? And that it may be exactly the same reason the MSM generally spews their nonsense dressed up as news? Easy pickins'.

JMO, but I think your position is short sighted at best and you are likely in a small minority even on this forum. The fact that "all Natalee all the time" captures high ratings only tells part of the story I suspect. Besides, doesn't Murdoch have other outlets for tabloid teevee? Or maybe he might be interested in changing the name of his "news" channel to something more appropriate like, FoxEnquirerChannel.

I feel the same way several others have remarked on this thread, Fox captured their audience, now they're backing away from the ones that brung 'em to the dance.
