Ah, yes, yet another example of the genetic spawn of a hard-working visionary, totally screwing up decades of immense productivity and brand-creation. Welcome to life as just another bunch of idiot, spoiled rich kids, Murdoch children.
If you make Fox into another PC, warm & fuzzy place, 90% of its viewership (including, I guarantee, ME) will just up and leave. Fox will then become just another network, toeing the current PC line with a bunch of pablum spewing from some nameless empty suits/dresses. IOW, just a commodity news operation - and how do you make money in an overcrowded industry by offering merely more of the same, by NOT distinguishing your products/services? Clearly, these idiot Murdoch children haven't the first clue as to how to run their father's media empire. I can't wait for another network to start up - but I'd really hope that it could be on the regular cable menu. I suppose that they'd really have to have a lot of high-powered talent, both behind the scenes and on the tube, and that will take a lot of money and time to set up the right way. Here, BTW, is a big hint for any new network: Make sure that when the news is being reported, it is ACTUALLY the news. Opinion will certainly be welcome...but be very open and upfront about what is opinion at the time it is being presented. Something like a big bold stripe at the bottom of the page with "COMMENTARY" inside of it, the way networks did in the 1960s and 70s. As for Fox, I have NO use for it without it actually being a purveyor of facts - facts as they ARE, not as a bunch of intolerant assholes who don't value our nation or adhere to our ideals WANT them to be. If the Murdoch infants do this, let it all go down in flames.
I totally agree. But it would require a robot to prevent the writers or readers of the facts from introducing their personal incendiary adjectives and adverbs as "color."
I don't need no stinkin' color!
