If FOX is "faux" and the only balanced sources of news are NPR, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSLSD, CNN, why is it that they trounce all the competition in viewership and listeners?
The Market teaches us everything we need to know. If ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN and taxpayer-funded NPR did a job of objective and balanced journalism, there would be know demand for Fox. Fox fills a void in the Market. Ratings and Ad sales don't lie. Advertisers, pariticularly in a soft or recessionary economy, are not spending money based on ideologues or agendas. They want to move product and improve market share. The other media outlets are losing money. Their bias and agenda has cost them.
If you want to beat Fox, do one or more of the following....
1) Report both sides.
2) Stay out of agenda journalism (e.g. NBC Michael-Mooring audio tapes, CBS reporting forged documents as authentic, ABC doing one-sided Obama Town Hall meetings AND refusing paid advertisers from entities that want to refute).
3) Saturate the market with Conservative media arms to compete with Fox.
If you want to strengthen Fox and Conservative Media, by all means, do the following:
1) Bring back the Fairness Doctrine
2) Lobby The FCC to shut down Fox and AM Talk radio.
