CNN lead anchor Aaron Brown said CNN's coverage would be viewed as historic because it has been broad and shown all sides of the story

yeah, from an extreme leftist point of view...

WTG FNC! I love Fox...but I have to say that MSNBC has had the better coverage. Sorry...it's true. FNC doesn't have the Bill Gates billions to work with tho, so they're good, but limited.

Critics snicker at the red-, white- and blue-festooned screen

These are the same critics that deride honesty, integrity, and patriotism as being passe and out of step with modern times.

Screw them.

These analyists don't have a fuc*in* clue as what is happening!!! It's incredible!!!

After 10 minutes of watching Dan Rather emphasize every negative aspect of the war, after 5 minutes of watching rancid BBC doom and gloom reports and 15 minutes of Aaron Brown's insufferable faux somber reports of the latest POW video.....I can't beleive these IDIOTS can't figure out why FOX is on top!!

Do these "experts" actually get payed for their opinions?!

FNC, if you are listening, please find ways to offer your channel to the masses cheaper than $400 per year!

Thats what it takes now to get FNC via DirecTv or DishNetwork for FNC plus (99 channels of crap).

Please consider subscription streaming video for those who have a high speed internet like Starband or broadband. Better yet, maybe try to offer FNC on a 2nd satellite slot (on the Ku-band!).

Since CNN can't win in the ratings they are now citing a poll that they claim says CNN is the most trusted.

Sorry CNN trusted don't feed the Bulldog.

"Critics snicker at the red-, white- and blue-festooned screen and say the network ... offers opinion, not news."
What's new about this - ABC, CBS and NBC have been doing this since the days of Walter Cronkite. For liberals, when it's Brokaw, Rather, or Jennings, it's news, when it's Bill O'Reilly, it's biased.

Conversation overheard a couple days ago in a customer's office:
First guy: I'm sick of watching the news about the war on CNN. First we're up, then ten minutes later, we're down. It's depressing!
Second guy: That's what you get for watching CNN; can't you get Fox News?

Yes, I know it sounds like a commercial, but that's exactly the way I heard it.

Aaron Brown is like watching paint dry. If you're having trouble going to sleep just dim the lights and put him on for about 5 minutes and you'll be out!

I didn't think I'd ever see the liberal media control busted wide open but Fox did it in record time.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution, hmmmmm, now why would they be interested in a story about CNN vs FoxNews? What else would a leftist rag be interested in? Although FoxNews is rated number one, the AJC can't help pointing out all FoxNews' weeknesses. LOL, it's kicking your comrad organizaiton's butt. Gotta love it.

FOX is the best, but CNN and MSNBC are also doing a good job and I find myself switching around a lot, getting differnt angles, different camera shots, different sets of stories and events.

The real kudos go to whatever genius thought up the idea of embedded reporters. I think it really goes a long way towards making everybody's reporting a little more fair and balanced (though FOX is the best).

ping!

If you don't have FNC, badger your cable or satellite company to add FNC to their BASIC (cheapest) package!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ping list.

CNN is useless. Its as if Clinton never left office over there. CNN has become worse since the war started and it has become more and more difficult to watch them.

Is it just me or does anyone get a WWII greatest generation feel about the goals of the USA when watching FOX?

I would suggest the reporters demand their money back from their journalism schools. They obviously were robbed by the schools. CNN is deluded if they are offering hard news. The hard thing they are offering lack of Gravitas.
(turnabout baby!) CNN is just an extended pablum of ABCCBSNBC there is no difference.

Way to go FOX!
Here's another thread discussing media bias of the lesser stations.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/879739/posts

Someday, somebody has to incorporate FOX news and Free Republic into that... "These are Some of My Favorite Things" song. (sorry if i don't have the name of it right.)

Craig Allen, coordinator of broadcast news at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University Man I knew I was in for an attack when I heard that label. If they called it the Walter Cronkite School of Jaundice and Mass Confusion at least they would be honest. When will everyone realize that Walter Cronkite is the hero of the modern liberal reporter because managed to take Leftist pot-shots daily while remaining completely immune of critisizm? (They all long to command that respect) That pretentious, condesending disgusting old limosine liberal is as much a reason we pulled out of Vietnam as the North Vietcong. Way to go FOX! I watch you every night and love it!

"Do we have 50 Humvees in the field? No. Maybe you don't need 50 Humvees in the field," said Bill Shine, network executive producer. "Maybe you need good journalists on the air."

They DO have good journalists. CNN and Rostensteil can go suck eggs. Elitist pigs!

I think Fox is more-in-line with mainstream America. The other networks just shove their liberal puke down your throat, no matter what. You are basically listening to their agenda, not news.

Fox also makes you feel good, because they are of like mind and are not pushing a leftest agenda.

I happened to see a little of CBS and Dan Rather's 48 hours tonight, at a bar and read the closed captioning. There was not much positive. Mainly it was about suicide bombers, protesters, troops not getting enough to eat, etc. More doom and gloom. I think the left calls this "balanced reporting".
