IMO Fox isn't a News Network. They package the News as entertainment and foist it off on a gullible public. Fox is an Entertainment Network. If you want celebrity crimes, the latest on Michael Jackson, or shows about that guy in the Central Valley that killed his pregnant wife (I don't remember his name), etc. ... watch Fox. If you want News, you have to READ. What is News? Some Fox supporters say Fox is just a right wing version of CNN. Nope. Not that CNN is all that great. The role of the News is not to just inform (Fox does that OK with their silly stories and extremist spin), but they must also be OUR eyes and ears. They must ask questions of the people in power, and that is the GOP today. As a wise journalist once told me: "My job is to make the rich and powerful uncomfortable." Exactly. If Fox (or CNN) isn't asking tough questions of the people in power, they are not a News Network. It is that simple.
