Are you insane??? He's been proven wrong time and again and yet never issues a retraction. Many guests have stated how he will pull a segment when things don't go his way or will just cut out when guests that disagree with him make good points. No spin zone my ass.

It entertainment, not news.

 

 

I just said it was entertainment, and it's some of the best entertainment on television, and I'm not talking about pro-liberal agenda "laughing at him" entertainment. I'm talking about great interviews, and funny, serious, and compelling television. If you watch it as a show it's great. If you watch it as a partisan, you hate it. It's like Nintendo fanboys hating on FFXIII.

 

I'm not taking sides.

Zen, you have to rework your argument.  If it is entertainment for a specific group, people who lean to the right then it is niche.

The problem I have with Fox News isn't that it's right leaning or sensational.  I have the same problem with Fox as I have with all 24 news networks and morning news casts... None of them are news.  They are attention grabbers to get ratings.  I wish they wouldn't call them selves news, maybe current events discussion.

MSNBC and Fox News spend way too much time covering eachother and not real events that effect the general population. 

The real problem is that their isn't enough newsworthy stuff for 24 hour coverage.  It's just stuff to talk about at the water cooler the next day.

O'Reilly does ask some real challenging and fun questions, but he doesn't let people answer.

Larry King has no idea what's going on.

Anderson Cooper is too busy posing in front of this weeks disaster/war.

 

There are two types of journalism that matter, news and investigative reporting.  The networks are just regurgitating the AP wire or press releases and buy footage.
