Something i wrote in a different context seems appropriate here:
Fox News has plenty of shows as bad as Nancy Grace which makes them worse than CNN. For some reason, FNC has escaped criticism from the press-bashing right blogosphere. If the New York Times or PBS ignores important stories from the War on Terror, that is really no surprise. But FNC's obsession with tabloid crime feels more like a betrayal.
Fox was supposed to be different. After 9/11 it wrapped itself in the flag and donned olive drab. Then it lost interest. It decided to chase stories about missing white girls. The MSM might be giving us an incomplete picture, but FNC is not trying very hard to correct it.
Liberal bias is one thing, but Fox is guilty of breathtaking cynicism. FNC once positioned itself as the patriotic network. Now, it looks like that was just the a crass grab for ratings.
