As best I can tell, there is only one journalist working at Fox News and that would be Greta. All the rest are news readers and clueless pontificators. Megan Kelly could develop into a real journalist. She's got good instincts and is plenty smart.
Fox business is way better at news but I hear fox management is getting pissed that Fox Business does a better job of covering the news than Fox news does so I imagine Fox business will soon suck at news too.
What I find disturbing is that none of these "news" organizations does any investigative reporting. Greta trys, I will give her credit for that. But the rest do zip, zero, nadda. All they do is react to what is on the wire. None dig in and get "the rest of the story" which 9 times out of 10 is where the real news is.

If you expect Fox News to do a lot more than reacting to whatever comes in on the wire/web, you'll be waiting a long time. It's a lot cheaper to react to what comes in through other channels such as Reuters than putting together an actual ground game that's as large as say CNN or BBC.
I'm not a fan of CNN, but I am still surprised that they've kept a lot of reporters/camera crews around after all these years. It's a lot cheaper and more profitable to just have a bunch of talking heads in a studio reading whatever comes in from the AP or Reuters than paying people to go out and get their shoes dirty.
