Is Fox Next?

Most modern day journalists seem to be ambulance chasers and stalkers simply out to sensationalize whatever will give them (or thier sponsors) better ratings. Facts and truth seem to have disappeared along the way. Whatever happened to the five W's of good reporting?

They have been turned upside down and are now as follows:

Money, Money, Money and More Money.

It has taken awile, but the facts are starting to come out.

Rupert Murdoch firm pays Jude Law $200,000 in tabloid scandal

LONDON — Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper company on Thursday agreed to pay actor Jude Law 130,000 pounds (about $200,000) to settle claims against the News of the World and The Sun tabloids.
News Group Newspapers (NGN) accepted that 16 articles about Law published in the now-defunct News of the World tabloid between 2003 and 2006 had been obtained by phone hacking, and that the actor had also been placed under "repeated and sustained physical surveillance."
The company also admitted that articles in The Sun tabloid misused Law's private information but did not give further details.

In a rush to break the news, both CNN and Fox News inaccurately reported this morning's Supreme Court ruling on healthcare.
On television, on its website, and in breaking news alerts, CNN announced that the individual mandate had been struck down. CNN political reporter John King described it as "a dramatic blow to the policy and to the President, politically." Fox News, too, announced that the Court had found the individual andate"unconstitutional."[/QUOTE]

A fair and balanced look at how we would like things to be.

I watched in awe as the Fox News(?) Network, feeding a network feed to the local Fox affiliate, showed a national reporter reviewing the recent court decision, and then emphasizing how people needed to vote for a change.

Hard to figure out what she meant by that, right?

NOT!!!

It crossed the line between fair reporting and political punditry (is that a real word???? if not, sure oughta be!!), has NO place on ANY network's NEWS offerings, they all have their political commentary shows and that is where that sort of prostheletizing should occur.

IMHO, of course, YOMV :shrug:

Cheers, Jim!

Jim,
There happens to be a difference between a News Reporter and a News Journalist.
Apparently, there are some "Delta Smelt" clouding the water in the Bay Area, CA

Tom,

Yes those are both seperate vocations, although the word "news" is in both. But shouldn't truth, have at least a passing effect on both?
