How Things Are Run at Fox News

My advice to the pundits: If you really want to know about bias at Fox, talk to the grunts who work there - the desk assistants, tape editors, writers, researchers and assorted producers who have to deal with it every day. Ask enough of them what goes on, promise them anonymity, and you'll get the real story.

Reina admitted to the Los Angeles Times he left Fox in a dispute over salary and workload ? not politics.

So, why the sour grapes now?

Some insight for our readers:

Reina?s letter was picked up by Romenesko?s media Web page ? an online meeting place for liberal journalists who complain that the media are not liberal enough. Conservatives get a fair shake on Romenesko?s page the same way they might in the New York Times.

The Reina story would have remained nothing more than a letter to the editor had it not been picked up by the Los Angeles Times.

Could it be that the Times? coverage of this story is just payback to Fox for its coverage of how the Times tried to smear Arnold Schwarzenegger in the closing days of the recent California election?

We also find laughable Reina?s claim that in his long career he was never interfered with by management in producing news.

Anyone who has worked in journalism knows this is absurd. Ted Turner never influenced CNN coverage? Mort Zuckerman never dictated coverage at U.S. News or the Daily News? Kate Graham at the Washington Post?

Ah, but Bernard Goldberg is on the level!

Are you going to try and refute anything said in the letter?

Think Dan Rather has a less than a bunch of liberal yesmen behind the camera think again.

CNN = Clinton News Network


BBC is about as straight as it gets but all the Eurotrash I can do w/o

 

[LilBlinbBlahIce]

BBC all the way.

 

[chazzheatherly]

Fox News(?) is the Republican party's PR firm. All they do is slam Democrats. Just listen to it.
"Fair and balanced" is the biggest lie since, "I did not sleep with your sister!"
And she was good, baby!

 

[Schadenfroh]

al jazeera all the way.

 

[firewall]

Al Jazeera and BBC .........better than the american news trash channels.

Al-Jazzera is the offical terrorist channel.
BBC is the offical French Neo-Imperialist Channel.

Fox News can talk their biased babble all they want...I don't care. It's a free country, more power to them...but dont hide behind a stupid Fair and Balanced moniker when your so obviously not. Their news commentators and reporters look like rejects from trash magazine shows like Inside Edition or Hard Copy....oh wait...haha guess Bill O'reilly was in Iniside Edition wasn't he? You know what i remember about these shows from when I was a little kid...the juicy sex/adult themed segments.

"French Neo-Imperialist Channel"

Please elaborate.

Cnn, Sky and FOX are three sides of the same triangle : Pentagon's censor and propoganda. BBC's loads better then all of the above. I have all four channels and prefer the news on BBC.

 

[chazzheatherly]

What kind of idiot are you, - asadasif ?
The US govt controls everything from on high?
I want some of what you are smoking!

 

[firewall]

I didn't said the US government controls everything. What I meant was their influence on the media. Has CNN, Sky or FOx shown any of the pics of the soldiers and true statistics of casualities are still being hidden to keep the us soldiers and citizensfrom getting demoralised? I haven't seen the pics on bbc too, but AL JAzeerah displayed them. How have they got those images then?

I do however say that writing US government was wrong. Should had been pentagon only.

it's hilarious to see the united hicks of america complain about Al Jazeera being a "terrorist network" yet praise bill o'reilly as a disciple of Christ.
