Of course they would hold their audience. COmpletely because, to their base they ARE telling them exactly what they want to hear.

AND there are a lot of news sources that focus on objectivity and not their own prejudices.

You are welcome to believe that FOX is telling the truth. A lot of misled people do believe this. But Roger Ailes is biased and the facts they DO cover ARE colored by their own prejudices.

But my point is that what FOX does is NOT news. There are few REAL journalists over there. And most experts will bear this out.

And to generalize that ALL news sources do what FOX does is irresponsible and totally unjustified.

And yes, that is the problem today. Many News organizations, are more concerned with getting the story out there quickly and beat the non-News orgs to the story. There was a time when Network News organizations were not messed with. But now they have to make a profit. Therefore most news orgs sensationalize and comment on the news like FOX does.

But to generalize and say everybody does it is wrong and unjustified. BBC does not, NPR is still fairly good at getting it right. But even they have responed to the false claims of a Liberal Bias and have backed off of stories to not leave that impression.

But Fox news is NOT to be trusted. It IS by a lot of people, but that doesn't mean that it is worth being trusted.
