Fox v. Fox

Fox is ridiculous. All the current speculation about it's credibility as a NEWS source is justified if by nothing else but it's own mishandling of the situation. The ignition point was a bland comment questioning the integrity of their reporting. It is true. The talking heads there take more precedence over their actual reporters. Those thinking of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly as news reporters are sadly mistaken. Also, the news anchors pick up on stories that the talking heads bring to light, hurting their journalistic credibility when all they are doing is reporting what their other on air personalities are saying. It's a sad cycle that leaves Fox creating it's own news and own spin in a despicable circle. Fair well balanced news is far from their goal. Their reaction to the statements by White House officials only creates "the war on Fox News" for their own further comment against the president. They are not credible reporters of news. That is a fact. They should be forced to stop purveying themselves as a veritable news station. Period.
