Fox= "we are still the one network with real journalism" . Is this a new |
|
slogan for Fox? I have noticed it the last few days--this comment preceeds the "fair and balance" comment at commerical time.

|
He said it's like an expensive restaurant having a sign outside saying "Real gourmet food".

I believe that Hill and Knowlton, the infamous PR firm which defended the tobacco industry for so long invented the term "fair and balanced" as a means of disputing the scientifically established fact that tobacco caused cancer.
That fox adopted it speaks for itself.

3. Laughable for Fox to call themselves 'real journalists' |
|
May Zeus / God / Jehovah / Mother-Goddess / CosmicForce protect us from the 51% who will actually believe that crap.

"Hey Alice did you buy Joe dinner last night like you promised?"
"Hey gang, what do you think about this?"
Current events in romper room.
Their chief editor is a doddering incompetent, totally out of touch with reality.

8. So THAT'S where it went! |
|
I've been wondering who took it.
Now that Faux News has admitted they took it, where are they hiding it and how much ransom are they demanding?

10. they have no "real journalists" in the field |
|
they rely on other news feeds to get their stories. the stealing of cnn feed during the shuttle disaster was priceless. they may have talking assholes but they have no real reporters.
