I don't think anyone at Fox believes they are producing even-handed, impartial coverage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
There is a long-standing tradition in the mainstream press of middle-of-the-road journalism that is objective and fair. I would hate to see that fall victim to a panic about the Fox effect.
Oftentimes it feels like Fox stands alone in the media on certain stories.
What I think is that Fox has done a very smart job of carving out their place.
Fox prefers to focus on people who are doing bad - especially if they're Democrats, or environmentalists.
I think that 'Fox News' is fair and balanced.
When I hear people say that Fox News is right wing, I know that's not true, because I'm the one doing the news. It's my show, and there's no place for opinion on my show. It's uninteresting to me.
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.
I really like the way Fox handles their shows.
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.
