It's because they are. Everyone should keep in mind that FOX is in Show Business first and foremost. That explains a lot when it comes to their methodology and fear mongering tactics. They are constantly trying to scare the populace on one thing or another. Just look at the wild fire or the fish storm Bertha coverage recently. Jeez Looweez! And for the record, screw fair and balanced. I see little point in providing equal time to lunatics and communists. I want to see ADULTS with adult opinions.
America not only needs a common sense conservative point of view, but also a channel that gives at least a quarter of its coverage to what its Editors would deem good news devoid of politics. America desperately needs to hear some good news on occasion, and they deserve it.
This would most likely be a grass roots effort, but I'm confident it would prove itself to be worthy of big time investment if run principally. And I'll tell you the person who is most qualified to pull it off - Rush Limbaugh. I think Rush could wax the floor with Murdoch if given half a chance. The others commie America-hating networks would continue their slide.
“Everyone should keep in mind that FOX is in Show Business first and foremost.”
In 2004, I did 2 appearances on Fox, 1 in New York, to promote one of my books. I was thrilled and said so to my agent as we were headed in a limo to their studio.
“Don’t get too carried away,” he suggested to me. “9-11 changed everything for them. 5 years ago, I was booking whores from Times Square for ‘in-depth’ stories of their lifestyles for Fox.”
At the time, I was too nervous to realize how truthful (and ironic) he was being.
It’s show business, baby!
