Fox prefers to focus on people who are doing bad - especially if they're Democrats, or environmentalists.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The people who whine about Fox News are hypocrites - they say they're totally tolerant, but when they run into someone who doesn't share their assumptions, they say, 'Fox News is evil, and it must be stopped.'
What I think is that Fox has done a very smart job of carving out their place.
Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we're discovering we work for Fox.
The problem that I think is reasonable to assert about Fox and its coverage is that they make up stories out of whole cloth and then make a big deal out of them.
I'm not going to say how I vote... I love that people make these assumptions about you because you work at Fox... That's my job: to be contrarian, to push people.
I don't think anyone at Fox believes they are producing even-handed, impartial coverage.
There are a lot of folks at Fox News who bring a certain level of sophistication to their understanding of politics.
I think the vision for FOX is to have a network full of people who have opinions as opposed to people who say news. If my message doesn't fit in, but I get that platform, then I'm reaching the people who most need to hear it.
There are some programs on FOX that are not only fair and balanced, they're commentary shows. They don't have to be. But they brag about how fair and balanced they are. They don't cover rallies and tea parties. They cheer lead for rallies and tea parties. And as a journalist, I am totally against that.
The thing that sustains a strong Fox network is the thing that undermines a strong Republican party.
