Thank-you, Fox News. Thank you for reporting the news other networks ignore. Thanks for not condescending to the great unwashed by informing us how we should think on a given subject.
Thank-you for not adopting the patronizing, elitist attitudes that have become de rigueur on most other networks. Thank-you for recognizing that Americans have the right to information from both sides of the aisle and are fully capable of making up their own minds on issues, given enough facts.
Thanks, Fox, for actually questioning the incessant spin coming from Camp Obama. No one else is. If not for your reporting, most Americans would still be unaware of the depth of ‘change’ our president is proposing. Even though the old media succeeded in getting Obama elected, thanks to you, Americans are finally being given access to information they should have had before they voted. Better late than never.
Thank-you, Fox, for caring more about journalism than about access to self-anointed elites, and cocktail party invites from the inside the beltway crowd. You have succeeded without giving in to the politically correct crowd. That’s no mean feat. You have decided to play by the old, traditional rules instead of the oh, so fashionable, new improved ones the progressives have adopted. Very cool, guys. I know how hard it is these days to march to your own drummer instead of aligning yourself with the majority.
Thank you, FNC, for daring to veer from the decades old template by airing Glenn Beck during the news hour. And thank-you, Glenn, for providing information no-one else dares to report. You’re the man, Glenn. The fact that you drive the left crazy means you’re doing something right.
Thanks, Fox, for daring to be the first to actually report the conservative point of view without automatically assigning it to the fringe category. As a conservative columnist, I appreciate the risk you took. As an American, I’m tickled pink to see that it has paid off. The fact that your ratings continue to grow proves you are serving an untapped market.
The old media still hasn’t realized this market exists. I predict they will continue to deny this market reality until they fold. Which should be pretty soon now, unless Obama succeeds in socializing the media.
Until you came along, Fox, conservative views were treated as invalid and unworthy of debate. Now you are setting the national debate and the other networks are being forced to follow along. Albeit, unwillingly. Happily, their sneering condescension is apparent to all and isn’t scoring any points with the majority of Americans in fly-over country.
Until you came along, Fox, the old media was able to set the agenda. An agenda most now agree is based on emotion and ideology rather than facts. You’ve been the prime purveyor of essential facts, facts Americans need in order to make informed decisions. No wonder you’re under attack – you are forcing Americans to confront reality, a reality that, until recently, the left was able to define. To America’s detriment.
Thank-you, Fox, for not treating me like a dummy. God bless you all and keep up the good work. You’re the only major network that has enough sense, and enough faith in American citizens to allow them to interpret the news for themselves. And Shepard, I hear they have an opening at CNN.

Amen..

Great post Nancy. Yes, Shepard does have a problem...
penguin2 (Diary) Saturday, August 22nd at 8:46AM EST (link)his Obama idol is flailing about and he can’t quite cover it up. Throughout the election coverage, his bias was quite evident. And even Fox towards the final day seemed to be slipping over to the “dark side.” Of course not completely, but when I saw the panel discussions after each debate, I began to get angry with how even “our side” panelists were tilting. I stopped watching all of their commentary a couple of weeks before the election and not for some time after did I have any of their shows on. Gradually, I’ve resumed a few glimpses. I am delighted with Beck and do watch him.
That doesn’t mean they aren’t doing a great job now. They are. And I’m glad they’re in the “driver’s seat” in more ways than one. Until we can get the MSM to fizzle out completely; too many people are going to continue to get distorted and dishonest news input. I just want the facts, not the radicalized version to achieve their Socialist/Communist ends.

jazzycmk (Diary) Saturday, August 22nd at 1:52PM EST (link)…. Jake Tapper from ABC has been asking Gibbs and the administration some tough questions. But he’s pretty much the onl one outside of Fox.
Some in the press corps got a little rankled when the Bama flew in the Huffington Post blogger to ask / plant a question about the disputed Iran election during one of his press conferences. But they quickly got over that and it was back to business / fawning as usual.

TNJim (Diary) Saturday, August 22nd at 2:08PM EST (link)that’s why they’re trying to pound it into submission with deceit and distortion. How dare Fox cast conservatives into any other light besides that of unfeeling, uncaring, rascist homophobes, (insert your favorite lefty attack word/phrase here). Don’t they know
liberalismprogressivism is the only ideology worth presenting?I actually don’t mind Shep. At least the rest of the anchors aren’t like him, unlike some other cable channels. Shep might actually come across as a conservative on those other channels in contrast against the rest of their line-ups. But I do agree with Kelly, I can do without Geraldo, or Horrendo Revolver as Cheech & Chong called him in an old parody they once did.
