Ok, seriously now, what is good about Fox news? |
|
Sure, we love bashing away at them, and they deserve it almost all the time.
But they do have some good points.
One, they update their web page with news alerts quicker than anyone else.

2. Their polls are pretty good |
|
How Fox spins the polls on TV is different from the polling methodology.

But we survived. Other than that. Here I sit. Raging against the machine with my DU brothers and sisters. Got a decent job I could have? B-)

9. They are a good example of everything that is wrong with the media. |
|
Vapid spokesmodel newscasters Infotainment Biased presentation Heavy use of dishonest conjectures: "Some people say", "Viewers are asking", "Cavutoing" Heavy focus on ratings Heavy reliance on pundits and biased views instead of actual experts

14. They make you feel all warm and fuzzy and happy. |
|
that is what my child said late Sept 2001, they were the happy news station. He loathes them now, cannot believe he thought that, but then, he used to like Lawrence Welk also.

17. If you're safely living in Europe and used to quality TV news |
|
they are quite the comedic relief
My ex used to get angry at me for watching it, just for laughs. After four years in the UK, I couldn't believe Americans could take it seriously. It's like one long SNL skit.
And when I came back I really DID think Nancy Grace was an SNL skit.
