In my opinion....Fox and its contemporaries are more of a buisiness, than a news orginization, which is fine when taken in context. The problems arise when the need to run a story first, and make it dramatic enough to keep the audience enthralled, outweighs the traditional intent of news....accuracy. Personally I use the BBC and NPR simply because neither has a history of incorrect reporting, or left/right leaning to the extreme. I feel I am smart enough to "Add my own spin" to the news, as we all do. But I would hate to base my opinions on information that proves to be false.....simply because I wanted to be the first on my block to know it.
