Re: "The "in your face" graphics, dramatic story titles and inquisitive crawl at the bottom of the screen all are eye-catching. You never are left to have to wonder what Fox is telling you....or asking you. Such as the now famous story title..."Civil War in Iraq - Can it be a good thing?" And the Newsreaders are first rate babes. But that last point can't be a major reason for their excellent ratings." I think the deeper color saturation values, the spiffier graphics, (&, yes, the better looking 'news babes'), all contribute to the viewership. You may say 'image over substance'... but I'd argue that (especially in television...) image is paramount. And, even if the effect of 'image' is only at the margins --- quite often the margins matter. Just think of the effect mere 'image' had on the Nixon/Kennedy Debate viewership....
