For Fox Sake

Post by Harlowe »

If you missed it, this episode of the Daily Show with "For Fox Sake" was pretty amusing. :D

Sort of a "no shit" moment, but the Senior Vice President of Fox, basically admitted to a lot of opinion programming as opposed to news.
Fox News Senior Vice President Michael Clemente struck back at the White House after Dunn's remark saying, "It's astounding the White House cannot distinguish between news and opinion programming. It seems self-serving on their part." (Full disclosure: I worked for Clemente at ABC News.) Fox went on to define its news hours as 9am-4pm & 6-8pm, parameters which exclude Cavuto, O'Reilly, Fox & Friends crew, Glenn Beck, Greta Van Susteren, and Sean Hannity from the news category and leave a bunch of people you've never heard of.
I do like me some Shep Smith though, he seems to make an effort on the "fair and balanced" tag and really sweeps the ratings as well, which probably is the only thing that saves his job at Fox.

Look, Fox is the company that, in court, claimed that they had no responsibility to report the truth. And won the case on those merits.
