FoxNews is "not a News Channel"





I have not watched the Foxnews Channel for some years now, but I occasionally come across snippets of their shows on youtube. I do not think the Obama admin gains anything from constantly bashing Foxnews because, if they claim that FoxNews is maligning the Obama Administration, it seems they are also doing the same to Foxnews and looking childish everytime they whine about Fox. Foxnews is a conservative channel, no doubt, they have a large audience and it will be a big mistake if the Obama admin continue to ignore them in my opinion. Fungai mentioned in class lastweek that since he's been watching Foxnews, he could not find one good thing they had to say about Obama. I believe that the people that watch Fox also don't want to hear anything good about Obama to begin with, same goes for Liberals that watch MSNBC expect to have their views reinforced. I have often called Foxnews W.E.T(white entertainment channel) sort of like the B.E.T, because their programs is mostly focused to conservatives, and most happen to be White. People need to accept Fox for what it is and stop acting like it's a camouflage for something else, plus the Obama admin needs to stop whining about Fox news and find avenues they have something in common rather than continually looking as if they cannot stand a different point of view.

  1. it is what it is! You said it! News channels are geared towards their audience and what they want to hear. I have to disagree that you think that it is not news. Are the millions of people that get their news from Fox not up to date on their news? I do not think so.
