Chisfan from CE 6:
Did I? I don't remeber saying that. I remember saying I didn't watch much of their daytime coverage and the mic cutting incidents were all O'Reily becuase he's the worst at it. The rest you assumed.

If you're citing the shows with the highest ratings, then cite the shows ... don't paint the entire network with broad brush strokes based on one show. That'd be like me claiming that CNN is obsessed with Angie Dickinson based on Larry King alone!

I've cited more then one show and given examples. I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you. We disagree. Fine, I'm sure it won't be the last time.

News media elsewhere regards Fox as a joke; a cartoon. It's not a respected news channel in worldwide media circles.

Then I changed my mind. I'm going to vote for John KErry, and go back to watching CNN. Thanks for straigtening me out world!
That's allowing a group of people who still regard the NY Times as a very highly reputable news source, despite their unofficially moving their editorial page to the front page, and overlooking a guy who was fabricating stories for so long. When your media "judges" are about as reliable as Olympic figure skating judges, you don't have much.
In all honesty -- is the media EVER a reliable source to critique their competition?

Chrisfan, all I'm doing is giving you a bit of flavour; just a taster of how the rest of the world sees Fox. It's nearly always referred to as "the rightwing 'news' outlet", or some such dismissive descriptor. Make of it what you will.

It's nearly always referred to as "the rightwing 'news' outlet", or some such dismissive descriptor. Make of it what you will. I realize your intent JLLM. It's pretty much the same attitude that most of the media here takes as well. My point, before it gets buried in a bowl of fruit loops, is that I'm not really sure what if anything that really says. Isn't it kind of like saying "John Kerry says Bush isn't a good president"? We're talking about looking to the competition as the critic here. Fox News came on very strong with an attitude of "The other networks aren't doing the job, so we will". So isn't it natural that the other networks would hit back? Isn't that the nature of competition? |

Considering that I thought it was a given that the meaning of 'right-wing' changes considerably, isn't it a fact that for 'Britain' to say "the rightwing 'news' outlet" re Fox, pretty much untranslateable here?
Except for 'nerd-ish' types just hanging on world politics of all colours...
From what I recall, the discussion was that the diff betw 'right', here and there, doesn't even amount to it being simply a 'fine nuance' either...
Or is the Brit-speak for the American 'right-wing' now singularly supposed to mean 'Bush-supporting hard-line fundie X-tians'?
