FOX News has been a low budget, high profit business. They use AP, Reuters and other “news” services in place of a large staff. Hopefully this will improve over time. CNN, in my opinion, is a much more qualitative outfit with a worldwide staff. Unfortunately, CNN insists on shaping news to fit a liberal, partisan agenda.

Regardless of how low budget Fox’s operations may be, how much does it cost to spend a few seconds checking out a story before reporting it as fact? Isn’t that, after all, their job? I am constantly amazed at the shoddy state of journalism these days. Journalists are supposedly “professionals” in their field. Yet, time after time they violate rules that are taught in a Journalism 101 class.
