a good description of the Fox Newsertainment Channel. "we sensationalize; you think you decide"
Not in my opinion. Sensationalization is when every little delay on a blitzkrieg to Baghdad is tantamount to the battle of Waterloo. That's the way it was played by Peter Arnet, and that's the way it was played by BBC and most news services.

Whereas FNC has hit on a brilliant strategy for getting the straight skinny - they just listen to the briefings given by the US military, and trust them. Viola! Instant genious! Meanwhile the competition is so busy trying to prove that the military is wrong that they have no chance at all of seeing the truth. Namely, that the military knows better than to lie to the press.

So, how does that explain "breaking news" alerts that run most of two days?

Or, Blinky Van Susteren (remember her eyelifts?) still trying to verbally pummel someone into admitting that Michael Jackson killed Laci Peterson because she was going to expose Jon Benet Ramsey as being the love child of Ben & J.Lo who were both accepting hush money from Tuh-REE-suh Heinz Kerry so they wouldn't spill the beans about John Kerry's REALLY driving the car off the Chappaquiddick bridge 'cause Fat TeddyK was too busy in the back seat doin' the humphump with Marty-Lu King who was planning to have BobbyK killed for what he knew about JFK's not being dead but living in Great Falls Montana with Elvis who once dated RosemaryK (as good a reason as any for getting a lobotomy afterward) because her illegitimate step-grandaughter IS Blinky? ::whew::

Or, did you miss that show?
