Fox News: "Love it, hate it, but can't ignore it"

Written By mista sense on Sunday, October 1, 2006 | 8:29 PM




That's part of the headline of a piece by Joanna Weiss in today's Boston Globe.

Weiss's story, pegged to Fox's upcoming 10th anniversary, is, to coin a phrase, "fair and balanced." That is, the Globe-woman takes note of Fox's strong public support, and its vanquishing of CNN. Yet at the same time, she gives space to Fox's critics, notably Steve Rendall of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, who slams FNC as "a right-wing, conservative, and, particularly, Bush White House propaganda mill."

That's OK, Fox can take it. Report both sides, report all sides, because FNC is confident that news-consumers are smart enough to figure out what's true, and what's not true.

That's the Fox M.O., and it's a good model for all of us, in and around the cable game, can do. So have a look.
