Re: Fox News Management Fed Up With Mistakes

To those who continue to lament FoxNews' "fair and balance" mistakes as errors, omissions, oversights, SNAFU, etc., all I can say to this admission by the FoxNews execs is, "In yo' face".

The deceptions finally caught up to this news network and management has had enough. Good for them.

Yes yes and for the sake of an internet argument, try vainly to pass "mistakes" of as "conspiracy based deception!." Chuckle.

Yeah, I guess they picked it up from CBS and the rest of the Op/Ed channels.

Actually, I think all the news teams should report on "each other" more often to keep everyone in check. Wouldn't that be interesting?

It is really kinda sad how it took a comedy show to prove FoxNews stupidity.

Unsure about that; money talks.

If one of the big 5 called out ABC/NBC/FOX during prime time when they fouled up - the teams would start to monitor themselves much more accurately. The same would apply for any of the oligarchical mass media groups.

I said before, this coming decade is the "war on big news". The group that decides to take charge to monitor others and call them out in prime time first will become the victor plus we get better accuracy to boot. This is simply because we are in the information age.

Good. I hope the other news outlets will follow their lead.

Re: Fox News Management Fed Up With Mistakes

"Fox News Management" is a refreshingly honest title. Let's hope their new found integrity lasts.
