Thanks for the link... The following sentence pretty much sums up, IMHO, how out-of-touch the MSM really is from their "clients" (readers & viewers)...
The success of the Fox News Channel in the past decade along with the growth of political blogs have convinced many media companies that provocative commentary attracts viewers and lures Web browsers more than straight news delivered dispassionately."
Here's the REAL TRUTH -- UNBIASED straight news coverage would propel any station/outlet that wanted to go "back to basics" straight to the top, IMHO. We don't want biased reporting filled with snark and pathetically biased attacks and set-ups (what they call "provocative commentary" above). The "growth" they are seeing is DIRECTLY caused by the biased reporting in papers and on these "news" channels. It's people picking up the slack when the "journalists" fail to do their jobs. The rise in FOX News' numbers can, IMHO, be directly related to the fact that they are not over-the-top in the tank for the DNC!
We want REAL news coverage - unbiased, hard-hitting, and WITHOUT editorial! I'm not going to hold my breath, though.
