Fox is sensationalistic, blows things out of proportion etc like all the other MSM. A story needs conflict and “bad news” sells.
HOWEVER, Fox is politically more center than CNN (especially CNN international). Fox when they do report something controversial at least attempts to give both sides a word (Even on O'Reily), unlike CBS which often engages in one sided discussions where you have two liberals and a moderator discussing something.
The SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) on Fox tend to be more accurate especially when it comes to military related stories. Some of the crew is former military and (Example Major who I think was a Marine) they tend to be more sensible in reporting, having a clue of what they are reporting on-unlike Christiane Amanpour.
Afghanistan, CNN said it’s too high, to cold, remember Alexander the Great, the British Empire and Russians failed! We will wait until Spring (CNN statements, literally!). FOX’s Balaqua, was 100% dead on accurate.
Iraq, it’s too hot, we’re missing our window of opportunity, we’re bogged down outside Baghdad, the bloodiest battle will now ensue-the battle for Baghdad…….FOX was 100% accurate while CNN missed again.
I’m not talking about style or taste. Measurably, FOX has been more accurate.
Good observations. Thanks.
