Life is not a journey to the grave with the

broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,

Jim, let me explain something to you and please take it in the spirit it
is
meant.
You're an ignorant twerp.
Now, with that explanation out of the way, let's see if we can remedy
that.
This is what you wrote, unsolicited:
" We can but hope that she will bring to Faux News the same passion for
excellence and inspirational leadership that she brought to
Hewlett-Packard.
With any luck she will have an even greater effect on Faux News than she
had
on H-P."
Immediately one can see that you are biased, you slam your bias in our
collective faces with the (actually absurd) play on words with the Fox
News
name. (BTW, faux is pronounced "FO".)
Then you display your ignorance by expressing the thought Carly could
bring
anything of value to Fox News. As I explained to you, the only reason
she
is there is that she is a controversial figure and that will make people
turn to Fox News when she is on. It's all about viewers, not about
content.
Think of it as a macabre sideshow that people pay money to see.
Joe Dolliver shows that he understands this very well and actually
proposes
another name of a person that would increase the viewership of FoxNews.
Jim,
I realize you haven't been paying attention but Fox News has been
gathering
viewership, market share as it were, while other "news organizations"
have
been losing theirs.
The word "faux" is French for "fake" or "false" or "made-up". Fox News
is
as guilty as all the other news outlets for faux reporting of the
Katrina
aftermath, but unlike CBS (or See-BS) and others, they have not gone out
of
their way to fabricate news. For instance, I don't remember reading
about
Fox presenting fake memos trying to sway a national election. I don't
remember reading about Fox rigging explosives to trucks in order to make
a
story about pickups with exploding gas tanks. I don't remember reading
about Fox spilling national secrets on the front page to help the enemy
destroy us. I don't remember Fox new photoshopping pictures in order to
blame one side in a war. I don't remember Fox interviewing people who
claim
to be soldiers coming back from war zones with surreal tales of
atrocities
they have committed. I do not remember Fox editing and then presenting
video footage to accuse one side of shooting civilians when it was
actually
the other side shooting its own civilians.
The list is endless.
But in your biased little mind, you think that since Fox News actually
has a
few reporters and talk show hosts that are not crazy left-wing looneys,
they
should be ignored and taken off the air. Gotcha.
You also have a reading problem, because I clearly stated that I do not
watch Fox News either.
In the grand scheme of things, the news program that would get my
attention
would be one where it would be impossible for me to detect the politics
of
the news reader and the reporters that write up the news. The program
would
present all the news and not try to tell me what I should think about
it.
However with 89%+ of the "reporters" being of the left-wing persuasion
(and
that includes Fox News BTW,) that's not going to happen any time soon.
Denys...

Possibly because you get your biases re-enforced from the Faux network?
