I have not joined in on the sometimes hysterical outcry when Fox is perceived as "deserting its base", "moving to the left", "not dancing with the one that brung them" and all that sort of thing. It has never been my desire to have a channel that simply slants the other way. All I wanted was intelligent and accurate presentation of both news and opinion that was at least balanced. Fox seemed to make a good faith effort at achieving that.
I don't see it this way any longer. There was a short (very short) bit this morning on F&F with Greg Kelley and a woman lawyer about Harry Reid's land deal...just one of them. It was quickly explained that, since he had reported the initial purchase and the final sale, the failure to report the interim machinations was merely a technicality. Well, by now we all know there was more to it than that. Reid's activities show a pattern of shady deals that require the use of his power and influence in DC and in Nevada to turn that dirt into real cash. Rush is right; ordinary folk don't get these kinds of deals, just very connected ones.
This is just one among many examples that people have been pointing out, some of which I have not considered entirely fair. But I must say that I now see a trend, the worst part of which is the failure (or refusal) to understand the facts before they start spouting the talking points. Brit Hume is completely free of this kind of failing and I think Cavuto, although I only listen sporadically, is as well.
The Fox chicks who are scattered throughout the day mostly just conduct their interviews using the "some say" approach and could not follow up on the actual responses to save their lives.
To brighten things up after this total downer, Fox has Brian Wilson, who I also like, at the dedication of the Air Force Memorial. There are tons of America loving folks out for the day and it is inspirational. (There are a plethora of really fine looking military men as well, should someone care about that :)
Looks like FNC can't be trusted anymore.
Now thery are moving towards becoming just
as scummy a bunch of lying propagandists
as thew rest of the MSM leftist Pravda pigs.
