I quit 2 years ago and don’t miss it one bit. Wait till a news clip shows someone doing the ;power to the people’, clenched-fist—and a newsie will remark, ‘communist salute’.
I watch less and less of Fox anyway. There are a few bright spots on the network - Neil Cavuto and that morning crew. I stopped watching that gang that's on with Brit Hume because, except for Krauthammer, they're all moderate-liberal anyway. Even Brit has lost his touch these last few months.
There are some on the network that induce immediate channel-changing. O'Reilly is, and has been, a statist buffoon that thinks that more laws and more regulation are the answers to non-existant problems. Schwepp Smith is just plain liberal, and a whiney crybaby as well. He sealed his fate when he stood on that bridge post-Katrina begging for tax dollars from the fed to give to the deadbeats in NO who were dumb enough to elect an inept Mayor.
I already have. Sad, but it is long past time for Conservatives to abandon all illusions of Media Sympathy.
The Progressive Business advertisers are not going to allow for Fair and Balanced, as anyone who watched Fox and their plain lousy coverage of this past election can see. They were "Conservative" the way Huntley and Brinkley were "neutral. Neutrality is an illusion, and I'm not going to be satisfied with the crumbs from the Liberal Table. Sorry.
I've never been exactly a fan of ED, but she's being persecuted, and that's crap.
Fox was the last one I watched. I am so fed up with all of them that I just turned the tube off. Don’t even miss it.
Use INTERNET access
I switched off Fox and all other news outlets just before the last election.
I agree with your assessment, “using the Internet” gives a much better coverage of news.
