FOX NEWS is not a news channel. It is a news analysis channel and pundit channel. They don’t cover much of anything extensively except for natural/man-made disasters, but the majority of that consists of speculation and conjecture rather than news.

It has a few good shows, but it also has many which depend on sensationalism. It’s competition has a serious problem with liberal bias. FOX was a breath of fresh air. They were more balanced, but now they want to be the outrageous news network, err… commentary network

Does anyone here remember the old days of news when they had either COMMENTARY on the bottom of the screen or a cheesy wall with ‘Editorial’ repeated multiple times when they had those segments in the news?

Now ABSOLUTELY NO news channel or program indicates clearly when they veer off from ‘hard’ news into commentary.

It’s one of the symptoms of the degeneration of television journalism.
