"The producers at the FNC must think we are the dumbest viewers in the history of television news.""News Flash"--They all do, so why single out Fox?
"..I am going to have to turn off my TV.."
That is the best idea.

If you are referring to the "BIG THREE", you won't find my TV on their nightly news programs either. Fox is the closest thing to honesty in reporting that we have on television but they are loosing it fast!
Reporting without integrity is nothing more than story telling. If all I want is gossip or speculation, I can get that from the nut-job down at my local coffee shop.

Yeah, it really irks me when it is a News Alert, and the subject is Britany Spears or Paris Hilton. As told by Lori Dhue...when introduces Kiran Chetry (at CNN), who quotes a story by Jerry Springer, who was doing a story on an author caught lying on Oprah, before she invited Hillary.....

“Is it just me or are we all getting pretty tired of FNCs abuse of Breaking News and News Alerts? “
I used to run into the living room every time I heard “breaking news” on Fox- not anymore. In fact, I’m watching less and less of the FoxNews and the “fox babes” to get the REAL news.

I don’t think the anchors call for Breaking News Alerts. The suits have implemented the scheme and the block producers make the calls.

While I love Fox news I have to admit to getting upset and switching channels when they go into 24 hr mode over a story. The California fires were the latest example, how many shots of a reporter standing in front of a burned down house do we need to see?

I prefer this over anything CNN or MSNBC provides.
Was reading yesterday, Israel cut CNN from the air ways, a very smart decision by the Israeli government.

I think part of it is because in an effort to draw more viewers in the competitive market, they keep having to make things seem more important and more exciting all the time, to the extent that we are almost to the point of hyperbole in news reporting, and Joe Average Six-pack doesn't know the difference.
(And maybe even those reporting don't know it anymore.)

Ive never seen so many Breaking News reports on one story in my life.Isn't it "breaking news" when it's first reported, but then a "developing story" from there on out???
To: BigAlPro
John Gibson is excellent, a genuine conservative, both on Fox and on the radio. If you don’t like it, turn it off.

Don't tell me... Tell Fox. OBTW, they are abusing "Developing Now" too.
What's wrong with simply reporting the news and moving on to the next news story? Why do they have to be so melodramatic about every little thing?

Read the replies Judge Judy... I like John Gibson! But that doesn’t excuse his lack of integrity when it comes to reporting the “NEWS”.

The person who did the “fox news alert sound” was quoted as saying that it was orig. intended for really important,
breaking news stories. Not for trivial stuff/ “old news”
Nancy Grace on CNN-HN practically jumps through the TV screen with BREAKING NEWS!!!!!—including celeb stuff, or the
same old story facts from before...
but it’s what people want unfortunately judging from the ratings.
Laura Ingraham calls all of this Tragedy TV.
