I know it's not a big deal, that's why it is a pet peeve of mine

Although I could see if you had the same complaint about the term Ute fan. That would make more sense. Here's a suggestion...write FoxNews and express your outrage. I'm sure it would garner some good laughs.

Don't kid yourself, it is a gimmick to make them look like they are tough on terrorism, unlike the liberal networks.

For a network like CNN that has the likes of Larry King, Anderson Cooper, and Glenn Beck with shows and MSNBC with someone like Olbermann...it's not like FOX has cornered the market of gimmick news.

And if the bomb is detonated remotely? How about "non-suicide homicide bomber"? Even better, "chicken-shit homicide bomber". Yes, we need to have tough labels in our fair and balanced news reporting.

Actually, I probably watch Fox more than CNN or any of the others. But their style makes me laugh at times.

I'm right wing. Now that it's out there...
I remember a couple years ago, they had some big-wig from GE on Fox News and he made the comment that they were gunning to knock Fox News off of the top of the cable news ratings. He acknowledged that MSNBC needed to be more like Fox News, and that Fox News sets the standard in 24-hour cable news. I didn't understand this. I had never heard that Fox News was "the best" cable news provider, just the most right-leaning (in my opinion they are in the center and everyone else is left-leaning). Is it pretty well established that Fox News is the king of cable news? |
