When you've lost Fox, you're fuxed.
Every once in a while, Fox will push back against the flat out lies. I don't know if some individuals still have a tiny shred of journalistic spark that hasn't been beaten out of them, or if Rupert Murdoch or Roger Ailes (the bad one) just have to draw a line in the sand at some point and say, "c'mon, guys, we'll take it up the keester, but you've at least got to use a lubricant."
May I be cynical and err suggest, that in a country where >70% of people are turning against Bush, it is a better marketing strategy to align one's broadcasting corporation with the majority? After all, Fox needs viewership, doesn't it?
sorry but I can't credit them for ANY journalistic integrity.
My take is similar to naj's, actually. Except I don't think it's a question of marketing or viewership, I think it's a question of credibility.
If the media is *too* far into the tank, to the point where even non-liberals can see it, then it loses its value as a propaganda organ. People will see it as Pravda, and make allowances, and seek alternatives. That cannot be allowed to happen.
(P.S., I fixed that missing link - I hope)
