[idiom]

People choosing to invest with Madoff is worse than people being forced to invest with GM?

Yeah okay.

I'm surprised no one noted that this has been posted before (should be merged) and is ancient news. He has been interviewed at length (> 70 mins) in this past week which is posted elsewhere on this forum.

The following is excerpted from Charles Krauthammer's remarks upon receiving the 2009 Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism, named for The Post's late edit orial-page editor, yesterday in Washing ton.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A') few years ago, I was on a radio show with a well-known political reporter who lamented the loss of a pristine past in which the whole country could agree on what the facts were, even if they disagreed on how to interpret and act upon them. All that was gone now. The country had become so fractured we couldn't even agree on what reality was. What she meant was that the day in which the front page of The New York Times was given scriptural authority everywhere was gone, shattered by the rise of Fox News.

What left me slack-jawed was the fact that she, like the cohort of mainstream journalists she represented so perfectly, was so ideologically blinkered that she could not fathom the plain fact that the liberal media were presenting the news and the world through a particular lens. The idea that it was particular, and that there might be competing ones, perhaps even superior ones, was beyond her ken.

That's why Fox News is so resented. It altered the intellectual and ideological landscape of America. It gave not only voice but also legitimacy to a worldview that had been utterly excluded from the mainstream media.

The Fox News audience is the least well informed of any major media outlet. Fox News' audience has been at the bottom of this survey for years. Maybe not surprisingly, the Colbert Report has the most well-informed audience in the country.

I'm moved neither by CNN, nor Fox News... I'll tell you this though.

Fox is honest about who and what they are.
CNN is not.

The genius of Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes was convincing people who earn less than $250k a year that their interests were best represented by the Republican Party.

[AgentR]

I hardly watch any TV period, but even I have seen them, on screen, "fess up" as it were.

I've never seen CNN or BBS folks admit their biases; maybe I just missed it and am unfairly lumping them into the hypocrite column.

I used to watch Fox quite a bit. A lot less now that Kirin Chetry switched channels

[ian807]

I'm no fan of CNN, et. al. but Fox news is the propaganda arm of the pseudo-christian cult that has passed itself off as "conservative" this last decade. It is rarely what I would consider "news" (i.e. factual statements of occurrences which have consequential relevance to a majority of its audience with minimal embellishment). We haven't had that for a long time. It went away when our representative democracy went away, bought by special interest group lobbyists.

The fact is, all of the corporate news services, including fox news, are just that - information services designed to spread the corporate line. Their purpose is to keep rich people rich, and the masses pleasantly tranquilized with entertainment or political outrage or some other drug of choice so that they can be profitably milked for resources.

So sit back, turn on, and plug in. The first hit's free, kiddo.
