FOX is more like Current TV than it is the other media outlets you referred to.

They are less in the nes business than they are in the delivery business- they deliver the ;news’ a lot of FOX viewers want to see.

Now, there is nothing wrong with that, anymore than there is with Current TV delivering what their viewers want to see. The issue has really become one of definition- is FOX MSM or something else?

If FOX is indeed something other than MSM (a position I believe) then response to FOX has to change. They cannot be accepted as MSM.

Again, they are clearly entitles to their opinions- and some of those opinions have merit- but that in no way qualifies then as a news outlet.

News outlets can andf do have biases and leanings, no question about it. However, a responsible news outlet will deliver the news in addition to their opinions.

A case in point is the recent revelations the Libya attack was indeed a terror attack. Even outlets which support Obama to a critical eye towards the White House obfuscating.

That’s what legitimate news organizations do- even with their ingrained flaws.

That FOX won’t report critically on Romney or his campaign attest to their lack of journalistic credibility.
