freepers acknowledge poor Fox News coverage

To: My Favorite Headache

I've found CNN to have much better coverage than the other two stations. After Shep's attitude yesterday, and the guy standing out in the storm like a giddy teenager, I started watching CNN and found them much more informative, with better info and better video.

I again started with Fox this AM and was a little disgusted this AM at the jovial attitude on Fox and Friends, so I switched over to CNN again (something I usually never do.)

Then I saw that anti-war commercial and thought I'd switch back to Fox, only to see the same commercial on Fox...so I'm back to CNN.

Fox sucks unless it's about a tabloid news feature....witht he only exception of Brit Hume, Sean Hannity, weekday a.m. coverage (i.e., Fox and Friends), and Gibson.

For tragedies, there's no point trying to get news from Fox, because they won't cover it unless it's got something to do with a car chase, sniper, or has the name OJ, Scott, or Aruba.

CNN has been giving excellent coverage.

Yes they have; I've been watching their coverage...after getting disgusted with non-coverage by Fox.

I am watching CNN.

Fox frankly sucks at this story.

They need some better people and some SERIOUS, MAJOR training on how to cover breaking news.

Shoddiness really comes through when you take the politics out.

1. Freepers disgusted with Fox?

Wow, whom would've imagined!

[pazarus]

2. i know, it's wild

shills can only do so much when there is real news.

3. "Training."

The lack of it really shows, doesn't it?

I never thought freepers would be smart enough to figure that out, though.

4. LOL

Unless they're barking the Pro-Shrub BS, they suck? :rofl:


Hey freeps... Fox sucks 24/7. Period.

6. i wonder how short their memory is...

once its all pro-bush, they think its the only "real" news channel again

5. CNN could take back the market by simply doing REAL NEWS

[blm]

11. I second that.

7. That is hilarious!!!

When they want real news, they have to turn off FUX News. Ha Ha. But, you can be sure they will turn it back on as soon as they need their pro shrub fix.

9. not usually a place for humor, those threads

but this time, its great! I liked

"more informative, with better info and better video"

... i've been saying that for years! Sometimes there is a moment of clarity, and these guys seem to have just experienced one.

10. out of the three CNN does have better coverage

they stayed live through the night while
MSNBC and Fox were replaying stuff from
earlier .... Right before I went to bed
the lady at tulane hospital reported the
levee breach , and possible air evac of
a thousand patients .

12. Ted Turner criticized CNN

for trying to be like FOX. So they straightened up and now they are getting back on track. Good for them.

Yes, Alice... There is a silver lining in every sow's ear!
