re: #13 _RememberTonyC

It has become fashionable to bash FOX. and there’s no doubt that glenn beck is an unguided missile sorely in need of some guidance. but I’ve been in the media for 31 years (27 of them in the national media) and I am really glad that FOX, in spite of its imperfections is on the scene. I’ve worked in newsrooms in a number of markets, and if you don’t think that at least 80% of the people producing and delivering your news are left of center, you are fooling yourselves. FOX has it’s issues. And I am objective enough to admit many of them. But you should be glad they’re around.

I am actually glad that FOX is around. But I wish they would clean up their act. As far as Beck, O’Reilly - those are opinion shows, and if they want Beck and O’Reilly and Hannity - I don’t care, they can have them and take whatever criticism comes their way.

But for what is supposed to be their hard news - it would be nice to know we could count on accuracy. And in fact, I never had cause to doubt the accuracy of their news - delivered by Shep Smith, who I think is a total ass, but nevertheless - it was the news. On this story, however, it seems they just completely made it up, presented as news (not opinion).
