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?

The problem is, most of what constitutes breaking news to Fox doesn't turn out to be news at all because it turns out they have their facts wrong or it's a non-story altogether - MOST OF THE TIME - and that's just unacceptable for a network that casts itself as a serious news entity.
I used to be an avid Fox-head. Watched it all the time. Now it's just oversensationalized. To each their own.
