The libs are beside themselves. American viewers have made FOX News Channel number one in cable and their ratings are closing in on the Big Three.
The Post ignores the blatant liberal bias of every other show mentioned in the article. The Post even ignores all the liberal guests on Fox & Friends. The Janeane Garafalo-Brian Kilmeade interview is a classic, yet somehow it's not included here. Nope no liberal bias at The Post, no sir.

That's right, I will take this show over the Kathy Gifford replacement anyday.
To: kristinn
I watch this show because, contrary to what the Post intimates, they do have top-flight guests: ambassadors, authors, and members of the seemingly inexhaustible pool of retired Army field grade officers.
I don't find ED Hill particularly bright, or Kilmeade for that matter...I've heard both of them say alot of pretty dumb things with some frequency. But Kilmeade's funny, and Doocy's funny, and the show works.
Now, why they have to talk to that j--koff DJ from Chicago every morning I have no idea.

Question: How can you tell that the war is going well?
Answer: By the depressed looks on the news anchor's faces.
I LOVE Fox and Friends. They certainly are a change of pace and a refreshing change from the retreads on CBS and ABC, and Matt and the Perky One on NBC. I'm also amused how apoplectic the RATS and their scribes in the media the more successful FNC gets. And besides, I'm a member of the media and I do NOT see anything wrong with the patriotic things that FNC is doing. I think it's GREAT!

This morning Brian Lamb showed an anti FOX News demonstration that happened yesterday in front of the FOXNews/C-Span building. It looked pretty ragged, one of the signs and chanters called for FOXNews to lose it's license. Brian informed viewers that only the affiliates, not FOXNews, has to be licensed.
Of course we know what's happened. The anti-Bush, anti-America, anti-war crowd has been dealt a mortal blow. President Bush's poll numbers are high and the war is going well. They can't logically expect to win friends and influence people by protesting against the USA while soldiers are at war, so they've shifted their target to FOXNews.
God Bless America...our soldiers....and FOXNews.

Brian also read from an article (or editorial), in today's Wall Street Journal that I can't access. It describes the cable competition of war coverage. If it gets posted, I hope someone will ping me.

The Information Age (access and rebuttal by ANY individual currently on the internet) forces the truth. The former "elite propagandists" are not responding to our rebuttals which are being mainstreamed by the likes of FOX and radio outlets. They run from a rebuttal. Their arguments become irrational in the marketplace of ideas. Their world is being turned upside down. They can't handle the truth.

How dare Americans support America. Haven't they learned from Katie, Matt or the rest that a morning show host cannot be for America.

To them, when we have a voice at all they think we are being overbearing and unfair. But this is the important question: is little Tommy Daschle concerned and deeply disturbed by this "unfortunate" turn of events?

The WaPost isn't hurting FNC at all. FNC has decided, as the article correctly says, to make itself a pro-American news channel. They aren't indifferent to pro-American issues like CNN. This whole story only publicizes that FNC is a pro-American news channel.
Roger Ailes probably sent a thank you note for this article to Paul Farhi.

America First.
Should an American Reporter approach the big three, facts, analysis, and commentary from a position of neutrality?
That is the issue.
1. Facts: Facts should be handled in a neutral manner.
....a. Accuracy - There should be no element of color/bias/prejudice when it comes to reporting a fact. For example, "The plane is shot down, it is not shot down, or it is unclear if it is shot down."
....b. Thoroughness - All facts important to any report should be reported without prejudice.
2. Analysis - Analysis, likewise, should be handled in an entirely neutral manner but analysis should be limited to determining the significance of various facts.
....a. Significance - Since the total number of facts will exceed the time allowed to report, the process of sorting facts into the important and the unimportant should be based on grouping facts into similar subjects. "The plane is shot down and the pilot's third cousin has a dog named Rover." While the Rover fact is true, when grouped with the plane shootdown story, it is clear that it is a less important fact.
....b. Specificity - The analysis should be limited to the specific event in question. Therefore, it is NOT neutral to consider other's opinions as facts related to the event. While "Tom Daschle" has an anti-war opinion about the downed pilot's mission, it is not a fact specific to the event in question. To report other's opinions about an event is to engage in commentary/opinion rather than to engage in reporting.
3. Commentary: Commentary should always be identified, is always opinion, is entirely appropriate, and will always, necessarily have the elements of bias and prejudice. Ideally, commentary will be logical, coherent, and comprehensive regarding available facts. Pretending that commentary is analysis is to engage in an elementary form of propaganda.
The bottom line is the question: "Can 'Fox and Friends' have a pro-America position and still be considered credible sources of news?"
The answer: Certainly, provided they are honest with facts and clearly identify when they switch to opinion.

American viewers have made FOX News Channel number one in cable and their ratings are closing in on the Big Three. The DoD should give Geraldo an exclusive on "Opening Saddam's Bunker." That would really send Fox's numbers through the roof.

Fox & Friends are part of our morning wake-up routine...on a recent day when we'd been up most of the night with our new puppy ('Lady Liberty' aka 'Libby') our other dog
('Indiana Jones' aka 'Indy') awakened us at 4 AM so we could tune in to an early addition of F&F!
Besides the great guests, the unabashed enthusiasm of E.D.,
Brian and Steve makes it obvious that they have passion for what they do!
God bless them all!

The libs like Saddam, don't realize that life as they know it is over.
All the old rules no longer apply.There is a new game and like the restoration in Iraq and the mideast, George Bush will make the new rules.

Their regular contributors include flaming liberals Ellen Ratner, Dick Morris, Ellis Henican, Charlie Rangel, Daedra Levin (sp?), and many other bearers of the torch...not to mention Alan Colmes, the nightly co-host of H&C. This article is both misleading and inaccurate.
