Yes, but unfortunately that is what attracts many people.

[Eye of Unk]

I pretty much stopped watching news on TV, now its almost alway the internet just because I deplore these people and their antics of glory, and I doubt it will get any better.

[Always Right]

Shouldn’t this have been posted in Breaking News??

[MNJohnnie]

Kind of amazing. Fox does nothing different then any other News Network yet the whiners continually come to Conservative websites to complain rabidly about the only network that is anywhere near fair to Conservative viewpoints.

Me thinks they does protest too much.

[SlowBoat407]

I still want the WHOOOOOSH! DONNNNNGGG! as a ringtone.

[dforest]

Yeah, it really irks me when it is a News Alert, and the subject is Britany Spears or Paris Hilton.

[johnny7]

Too many women as well... all emotion-over-content reporting.

[Calpernia]

>>>>Is it just me or are we all getting pretty tired of FNC’s abuse of “Breaking News” and “News Alerts”?

We can send FNC a few of FR’s admin moderators! :)

Last I saw, training consults were getting paid $60,000 for seminar classes. I don’t think the mods would mined a few of those nickels.

Just wake up, Rip Van Winkle?

[SlowBoat407]

At the AP we had several levels of news alerts.

Normal (Missing woman still missing) was 2 bells on the printer.
Urgent (Missing woman found) was 3 bells.
Bulletin (Missing woman hijacks plane) was 4 bells.
Flash (Missing woman assassinates president) was five bells.

I think Fox should institute a similar scale for their news alerts.

The guy writing this must have seen the October cable news ratings.

I’m surprised you have just found this to be a problem or an issue. It has driven me crazy for at least a year.
The women are bad, but the worst is Shep Smith.

That is why breaking news used to always be preceded with phrases like, “We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you this special report”.

This person's living in the 70's; at least that is the last time I heard this phrase. We now have 24-hour news channels. They don't interrupt anything, anymore. Thus, "breaking news" would be just that, news that is breaking right now.

[nuconvert]

How about the overuse of the phrase, “You won’t believe...” to bait you into watching an upcoming story?

sheesh, enough already

...and one more thing - they’ve got too many silly women reporting the news as if it’s all ‘hot from Hollywood’ stuff. They don’t change their delivery or demeanor from a light entertainment type story to reporting serious news.

[OBXWanderer]

They flash that notice on the screen and start telling us all about some trivial story Shepard Smith “broke” six to seven hours earlier that same day.

Shepard Smith's show is nothing more than National Enquirer Revisted.

Fox News sucks! I stopped watching years ago when they tracked OJ’s Bronco.

If I ever catch a glimpse of it, I just can’t believe what it’s turned into. It’s televised “Enquirer” magazine.

[CHEE]

The FOX cries

WOLF!

[BallyBill]

I actually saw a campaign ad the other day with "Breaking Story" and even had a ticker running at the bottom. What looked like "reporters" telling us that this politician was a rat and taking money from bad people.

I thought it was a FOX rip off, but it is ALL stations that do it.

[montag813]

I haven’t watched FoxNews Channel in over a year. I find it unwatchable.

[gunnedah]

I would rather watch Fox with all its drama and good looking women than any of the rest with their lies and partisanship.
