FOX "News"?

Just read a long article in Newsweek concerning Fox News.
It has now become obvious that the Ailes fellow and Murdoch the owner, have an agenda---not straight news!

Although many local newspapers are one-sided about politics (have to to sell many ads) It is irresponsible for a major media to do so. In as much as CNN also participates occasionally--as do many networks--that doesn't measure up to the sins of Fox against journalism.

Many only watch Fox News when there is nothing else of interest to watch--and then only to bitch and laugh at them. The article mentions the platinum and android anchors who apparently have their orders and TelePrompTers.

In this age, Cronkite and Murrow would not only flinch but run an expose!
Polarization of politics without negotiation has created a monster!

It is my opinion that all of the stupid stuff on TV has been created by reality shows and balloon boy types! That and book sellers (I won't call them writers) that are terrible.

The canned laughter crap of unreality that we have now had for many years also contributes to our demise.

Do we really have so many ignorant people?

"Fox News is on track to have its most-watched year ever, showing significant ratings growth despite having just come off a high-flying election year. With the second quarter coming to a close, Fox News averaged about the same number of viewers as the top three other cable news networks combined. And while rivals including CNN and MSNBC took hits following last quarter's inauguration-fueled boost, Fox News has remained nearly steady"

Fox is terrible and CNN is only slightly less terrible. Popularity doesn't mean much.

Did Fox tell you that and did they call it "news?"
Or maybe "T & A!

O'Reilly says such once in a while.

Millions watched "Erkle" also.
