Quick rant about FOX news.co coverage of Oshkosh accident
Fri Jul 27, 2007 10:47 pm
I am unsure of how many of you have seen the picture onn the front page of FoxNews.com, but it has me more than a bit pissed off. To have a photo showing the last second of someones life with the words "Death on the Runway" blazing across it is one of the most distatestful things I have seen. It was still near enough to the time of the accident that they would not release Mr Becks name as the family had not been notified. Can you imagine that shock and horrror that photo would have caused if one of Mr Beck's family members had seen it before hearing the news? It's bad enough most will see it after the fact. I fully intend to let Fox News know exactly how I feel, and hope you will as well. Sorry for the rant, but I am wound up over this one!

I completely disagree with you're assesment of Fox News. I thinks it's a refreshing change from the obviously "slanted left" delivery of the other news programs. Just my opinion...

Sorry dude but I guess I'm a "right-winger" and I enjoy Fox News. I find their coverage to be balanced and they don't sell the military down the river like CNN and MSNBC...

I personally believe that any and all news is slanted. The person packaging the news (producers) decides what news to show, and the person delivering the news puts his own bit of slant to it. Anyone who will deny that is living in a state of....well denial 
If you are a righty you may be more likely to like Fox since they tend to allow more right leaning commentators. If you are a lefty you are more likely to like CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, and most of the other BSes who have mostly left leaning commentators.
Big deal one channel has some right wing commentators, get over it. If you don't like it just change to one of the other 8 cable news networks. I personally don't watch any of it anymore because they are nothing but doom and gloom.

Skipping the political arguement, I happen to like Fox myself and was pretty disgusted to see how they portrayed it. I think all the major news outlets play up things to get ratings but come on.....

Frankly, when I hear their radio announcers say their slogan "Fox News... Fair and balanced" I think to myself they should have the guts to change it to "Fox News... Right" and/or "Fox News... The balance" and say it without a trace of irony. Not only would the honesty be refreshing, they'd probably gain listeners and viewers.

Fox news graphic and headline were in poor taste. As far as additional commentary about the news outlets, they ALL have some agenda and slant. If you think there is a media outlet on television that is completely unbiased, you are wrong. The media research center can give you some interesting insights into the media in the US.

True, but as a conservative I would rather get my news from Brit Hume at Fox over any other source.

Here's my gift to all you right wing guys. If you really want to see some far right nut job editorials take a look at Investor Business Daily, it makes WSJ even seem middle of the road.
