“Fox is very poor in covering live news.”
Gee, I think (except for Shep Smith) they have very good journalists. Quite often, whenever a really major news story is going on, their shows will all be live, continuous coverage (even the pundits). I believe most, if not all, their actual news shows are done live, anyway. A lot of people forget that BOR, Hannity and Beck (who does his live) are NOT news shows. Technically, even Greta’s is considered commentary (although her background is in journalism).
Fox/Ailes have had a real knack for attracting some very talented, respected folks. Brit Hume, Bernie Goldberg (both long-time, award-winning, prior news anchors), John Stossel, Lou Dobbs, Don Imus, Steve Forbes, Greta VanSustern and a ton of others.
If you watch the “crawl” under the talking heads it is almost exactly the same as all the other cable stations.
I have no problem with any of their talk shows and don’t expect news out of them though I would trust it more. Fox is barely conservative over all though and manages to ignore the same things the rest of the media does and highlight the same things it does.
But my beef with the live coverage has nothing to do with the real content as much as it does news “sense” and ability to show it developing.
It is also true that Fox is newer than the others and may not have the technical production ability that they do.
