Fox is journalism for juveniles. It is trite television. And with the exception of one hour a day (Hume controlled) it batters the senses and evokes the memory of Newton Minnow.

Put it this way if you had it to compare against British cable news channel you would realise how lucky you are with FNC.

I said this before but I wonder if FNC has changed slightly to woo international viewers because talking to another people on others threads they do not like certain presenters or way of doing a show which to me as Brit I quite enjoy.

I would argue that the Journal Editorial Report is also quite good.  As is Fox News Sunday (most of the time... if Britt is on... especially if he unleashes a smack down!).  And though it's not news, per se, Oliver North's War Stories is excellent.

And I had to look up Newton Minnow to know that he is the one that called TV "the vast wasteland" in a speech in 1961.
