Seems the only way they can attract viewers is to sex it up by reporting on celebrities - Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole, etc. etc. etc.

I am enjoying the Fox watchers answers. As reported this morning, Bill O'Reilly was bashing celebrity reporting - but Fox News is the #1 celebrity reporting station. Too funny!

I don't watch Fox (or any TV news; I don't trust it because it is all pro-government propaganda), but it doesn't surprise me that the station that fraudulently accused Ron Paul of being a 9/11 Truther and of suggesting that America invited 9/11 (both were blatantly inaccurate), would be the worst at reporting on the "celebrities" that are famous because the media reports on them. It is disgusting that there is so much celebrity reporting, especially when it leads to hatred of the celebrities, as happened with the Paris Hilton goes to jail story (even assuming the law was just, which is debatable, the typical penalty is 1-3 days in jail, not 23).
Fox is the most popular of these trash networks, but only because it is the only one to cater to the Neo-Con minority ("Progressives" have CNN, MSNBC, PBS, and the Old Networks). I wish people were not gullible enough to get their news from Fox, but the free market only delivers what there is a demand for (which is the reason why Fox is the only station of its particular bias). Imagine if Bush controlled all the networks and could turn them all into Fox...

Not surprising.
The average Fox News viewer is actually less informed than the average Daily Show viewer...
What does that say about a "News" network when a comedy network is more informative about current affairs??

Best I can tell, every one of the news stations reports on celebrities. And I don't and the people I know don't watch fox because of the celebrities. It is because that actually report all of the news instead of just what they want us to hear as the "drive by media" does.

Well since they took so much of a viewership away from the other stations and so many libs are watching it maybe thats what lured the libs away from the other stations. shrug.

Having the media follow your daughter around is cheaper than a nanny.

How about that's all most stupid lazy Americans care about. Look at how many voted in the last election, look at how many can name the secretary of state, look at how many can't find new orleans on a map, etc., etc., etc. This country is going down the crapper, being drug down by liberals, and nobody cares.

No, it seems to me it's equal all around. I think you should find something better to do than to bash Fox and Republicans. No life.

Excellent point. After the Iraq war went south, about three months into it, False News suddenly lost interest in reporting the war.
As scandal after scandal and convictions rolled out on the neo-cons, False News had to find a distraction for their low-brow viewers.

we feel lucky to have Fox News so we tolerate the info about what the freaks are up to.
