I suppose KGOU would be better to be like Fox.

For example, I see CNN, and Fox side by side every day from 4:30 to 5:30 at the gym. Last week, CNN was covering the convention in a pretty traditional way. I saw Pat Buchanon, Wolf Blitzer, and Anderson Cooper--a pretty even distribution of persepectives--discussing the events in a respectful way regardless of the politics of the person speaking.

Fox, on the other hand made featured one ridiculing comedy scetch after another.

First was a story Brit Hume led about the designer of the Stadium set which led off with, DNC hired Brittany Spears stage designer...While that might be interesting, I doubt the designer was Brittany's personal employee but the message was clear--the Democrats are on the level of coochy bareing drugged out celebutards.

This brief review of the staging was followed by some other idiot's drawings of suggested stage attire for Obama and others, all of which were Roman Togas, Gladiator costumes, etc.

The next part of their coverage was an odds maker's high-larious predictions on "Most Likely Cliches" Among those mentioned were the 250 to 1 pick, "where's the beef."

After that was a story about the latest gallup poll which showed every demographic Obama had shown a decrease in.

Oddly enough, they never mentioned that the over all poll showed Obama UP 6 points over McCain.

Fair, no. Balanced? On opposite day only.

I don't care about media bias. I'm smart enough and read enough newspapers, magazines, and think tank white papers to figure out something that seems like a reasonable facimile of what is close to true. But I can't imagine how Fox could be considered anything close to reliable.

Next week, CNN and NPR will cover the GOP convention in a similar manner to the Democratic one, but I doubt Fox will be putting on the comedy show designed to belittle and ridicule the GOP like they did with the Democrats.

I have a feeling FOX with portray the GOP convention as the historic second coming of Jesus, John Wayne, and Richard Nixon precided over by none other than Barry Goldwater and Ronald H. Reagan.
