Re: FOX --> Crap that smells good and looks good is still crap.
I don't put much credibility into any of the major news sources - especially for breaking news. They're all hideously sloppy and climbing over each other to "break" first.
Are you heavily invested in Fox news? Because you seem to be chugging the Kool Aid in massive amounts if you think they're a shadow of what they were three or four years ago.
Let me put it this way - whenever we have a news channel on in this house, invariably it is Fox. My wife sometimes absent-mindedly watches CNN, and she does like Imus on MSNBC, but for me, the only good thing about that show is (on occasion) Contessa Brewer! A-hem!
Kool-Aid? My, my - aren't we sledgehammering this to death! I do think Fox has changed in the past few years, some for the better, some not so.
But if, as you say, you have little confidence in any of the networks on breaking news, just where do you get breaking news info? And how can you approach such a source with any degree of confidence?
You can bitch and moan all you want, but if you're onto breaking news at all, you have to get it somewhere, and a lot of us here get it from Fox.
Of course, if you don't follow breaking news with any regularity, what was the purpose of your original post?
