...that's the headline atop a thoughtful piece on FNC's 10th anniversary by Verne Gay, appearing in Newsday this morning. Gay recalls the freshness of Fox compared to its rivals:
"No one would be bored by Ailes' FNC. His war wasn't only declared on CNN and other news rivals, but on the traditions of TV news presentation itself. With cross-fades, dissolves, jump-cuts and 'phasing' - a TV audio term that denotes the swooshing effect that's now a veritable FNC trademark - the characteristic on-screen look of FNC was to become a riot of motion and information. The lower third of the screen was jammed with even more info and visuals - including the much-copied crawl. FNC became, in due course, even better looking than its rivals."
That's not all there is to Fox, of course, but it's worth recalling that call it a teleVISION.
