It's unfortunate that a network that appeals to the lowest common denominator can attract so many viewers, but sadly, that's how it is, but it doesn't make Fox News legitimate or worthwhile - very few people would make that claim. I do remember reading an article about how CNN was courting the Tea Party in a manner that was questionable and one of the staffers was trying to reassure the Tea Party rep that CNN would be a safe place for them to put their message across - the staffer said that the Tea Party person would be surprised to learn how many of the anchors/reporters on CNN actually vote. It was my impression from that statement that the staffer was saying that quite a few anchors/reporters on CNN are conservative and that CNN is not exactly some bastion of liberalism as is widely believed (not by me). It could be one reason why reporters like Ed Henry find it easy to make the move to Fox News - it fits their own personal political outlook, because a real journalist would want to avoid Fox like the plague.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-80717013840914052202011-06-21T02:44:09.746-04:002011-06-21T02:44:09.746-04:00FOX isn't a credible legitimate news source.

They present irresponsible spin and lies designed to appeal to a segment of the population and to fit the agenda of some very wealthy interests. That ugly strategy has made them a comparative ratings success which gives them resources to lure talent with money and higher viewership (unless said talent has too much integrity to be involved in that kind of organization and its activities).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-3373823238529597302011-06-21T01:51:15.677-04:002011-06-21T01:51:15.677-04:00There is a reason all this talent is leaving for F...There is a reason all this talent is leaving for Fox News.<br />Fox News might not be credible HERE, on this blog, but in reality they must be doing something right to attract CNN talent.<br />Maybe it's their offerings salary wise or maybe there is just more opportunity, but something at CNN is driving the talent away.<br />One after the other are diving off the Titanic.

So he knows the ins and outs of this business and probably made the better choice.<br />I wish him well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-8814664339173537112011-06-20T15:06:20.213-04:002011-06-20T15:06:20.213-04:00Since we can be honest, I'm just going to say ...Since we can be honest, I'm just going to say I'm glad that Ed's leaving.
