Yes, but unfortunately that is what attracts many people.

I pretty much stopped watching news on TV, now its almost alway the internet just because I deplore these people and their antics of glory, and I doubt it will get any better.

Shouldn’t this have been posted in Breaking News??
To: BigAlPro
Kind of amazing. Fox does nothing different then any other News Network yet the whiners continually come to Conservative websites to complain rabidly about the only network that is anywhere near fair to Conservative viewpoints.
Me thinks they does protest too much.

Yeah, it really irks me when it is a News Alert, and the subject is Britany Spears or Paris Hilton.

Too many women as well... all emotion-over-content reporting.

>>>>Is it just me or are we all getting pretty tired of FNC’s abuse of “Breaking News” and “News Alerts”?
We can send FNC a few of FR’s admin moderators! :)
Last I saw, training consults were getting paid $60,000 for seminar classes. I don’t think the mods would mined a few of those nickels.

At the AP we had several levels of news alerts.
Normal (Missing woman still missing) was 2 bells on the printer.
Urgent (Missing woman found) was 3 bells.
Bulletin (Missing woman hijacks plane) was 4 bells.
Flash (Missing woman assassinates president) was five bells.
I think Fox should institute a similar scale for their news alerts.

i love fox but there is some validity in this criticism. fox and friends has gotten really squishy; i can't stand page hopkins, who mugs and struts in front of the camera. i really can't stand her. it's just not a good mix in the morning anymore. gretchen carlson isn't much better.
plus they DO overuse the breaking news alert. you can tell how much i have fox on at my house since i know all this stuff.
i just can't stand the lack of professionalism that went out the door with kieran chetry, who had the ability to be cheerful, amused and professional at the same time.

it is the constant force-feeding of “celebrity” news that is driving me from TV news - regardless of network.

I’m surprised you have just found this to be a problem or an issue. It has driven me crazy for at least a year.
The women are bad, but the worst is Shep Smith.

That is why breaking news used to always be preceded with phrases like, “We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you this special report”. This person's living in the 70's; at least that is the last time I heard this phrase. We now have 24-hour news channels. They don't interrupt anything, anymore. Thus, "breaking news" would be just that, news that is breaking right now.
