re: #121 BigPapa

I don’t think it was hushed up: some media streams didn’t pay much attention at all, but Fox championed it by running it front page. At that point in time I think the other streams weren’t paying attention to a viable story: Fox countered it by making it a huge story. It evened out, sloppy as the situation was. Ideal, no.

This supports what I perceive to be RTC’s point: Fox has it’s place. As ugly and sloppy as Fox is, it has it’s use. The good part is that Fox gets a lot of criticism, the bad part is that some will never listen to it.

No, the bad part is that Fox itself won’t listen to the criticism. When its sloppy, ad-hoc style is criticized, it doesn’t acknowledge such criticism, it goes on the attack, using O’Reilly and Hannity to attack the credibility of those offering criticism and find any excuse to claim the criticism is just an attack on Fox. Of course, that assumes any criticism gets leveled at Fox to begin with, as we’re seeing now, with nobody willing to bring up how they added fuel to the fire Breitbart started out of some unwritten code of journalistic neutrality.
