The problem with having a 24-hour news channel is that you have to find 24 hours worth of news to fill the day, every day. And if you have to find something, make something up, and exaggerate something, you do--no one likes dead air.

I don't have Fox News where I live (Japan), but I remember how it was. "Pretty white girl in trouble!"

The problem with having a 24-hour news channel is that you have to find 24 hours worth of news to fill the day, every day.

And that is what puzzles me about Fox.

For example - They have a "cousin" in Sky News. There are world stories they could share to fill up the time with new news rather than repeat the same stuff over and over. Weekends are a waste as they repeat the same shows 2 to 4 times a day. Then do it again on Sunday.

It is time for Fox to "grow up" and differentiate themselves from CNN rather than to move to the same format as CNN - Tragedy TV.
