It's innacurate and intelectually dishonest.
Fox News certainly has a legitimate perspective for viewers who enjoy that kind of thing. But it isn't a 'news' channel and everyone here knows that.
Another popular tactic--if we act as if and repeat it enough--maybe it'll become true. Or at least become generally accepted as true.
No offense to Steph or anyone else, but this general acceptance is why from now on I'm calling the spade a spade.
No offense taken - I've mentioned there are things on Fox that bug me. And other networks for that matter.
It seems like journalism just doesn't do its job effectively anymore.
The news media is not trusted by the general public.
