Wait. Isn't it the Dems always blaming Bush for everything? Maybe they'd rather believe what comes from MSNBC.

No one here mentioned Bush, don't see why you brought it up as it isn't relevant to the thread....MSNBC either....

Breaking: Murdoch splits empire, places Fox News in Entertainment Division

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/06/28/1103852/-Breaking-Murdoch-splits-empire-places-Fox-News-in-Entertainment-Division

No, this is not snark.

Following up on my diary from yesterday: News Corporation is being split into separate entertainment and publishing companies, in part to isolate the money making former from the phone hacking related liabilities of the latter.

The publishing company will will include News International's UK newspapers, the Sun, the Times and the Sunday Times, along with the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, Dow Jones news and financial information service, the Australian, HarperCollins book publishing operation, and News Corp's fledgling digital education business.

It takes with it the threat of $1 billion in costs due to the phone-hacking scandel, and faces possibly 500 claims in UK civil courts as well as possible criminal prosecutions for current and former staff.

The other company will contain the more profitable operations in the Murdoch Empire, including 20th Century Fox, Fox broadcast network and Fox News Channel.

Yes, that's correct. Fox News has been officially acknowledged to be entertainment.

Guardian report here.

WSJ report here.

Jon, all of the "news" channels are for the most part entertainment. Hannity, O'Reilly, and whoever is there on CNN are entertainers. Rachel Madcow is a joke and is not included here of course.

I quoted the most liberal source around to show even they acknowledge Fox is numero uno. I just saw the irony in it. Daily Kos is another liberal bastion of misinformation. But alas even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Of course many people get their news from Jon Stewart. Intelligent people however do not.

LOL....they all suck....I watch local news for the sports/weather, and then pick around a couple different news outlets to catch the 'slant' each puts on a story.......then just try to sort it out. ....I'll check the 'Onion', 'Mother Jones', New York Times, and sometimes America.aljazeera.....amongst others....Borowitz and the 'Onion' can be clues... ;D.....satire does reveal the truth more often than not.....Fox/MSNBC/CNN etal, don't bother with any real reporting anymore(did they ever?)...altho I used to enjoy Christiane Amanpour's storys from the mid-east.....

Heck, even Danzinger's 'toons' are about spot on...... ;D

LOL...good old Fox....and CNN....at least CNN is having a low poll'r debate too.....I mean, why should we hear em all??....let the polls/news sort em out for the electorate at large.......

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/07/06/debates-republican-forbes-richardson/29560593/

10-candidate debate: Circus, cattle call or hot mess?

Although most of the talk about the opening Republican presidential debate, exactly one month away on Aug. 6, has focused on the 10-candidate limit and who'll make the cut, there's a more basic question: What's gained from what veterans of past mass gabfests variously describe as a circus, a cattle call or a hot mess?

In big debates, sound bites shrink to nibbles, and most contestants don't even get those. "Smaller is better,'' says Bill Richardson, the former New Mexico governor and United Nations ambassador who competed with Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and others during the Democratic primaries eight years ago.

2016 primary debate schedule

But even skeptics agree that, given the unprecedented number of candidates, a large, multi-candidate forum is like democracy itself ? the worst alternative save all the others, including no debate at all.

Fox News hosts the first of a potential 12 GOP debates, which will be held in Cleveland. (The Democrats will have six debates, with the first coming sometime in the fall.) The network plans to limit it to the 10 leading candidates (though that could increase, considering any ties) in opinion polls; CNN, sponsor of the second debate, has a similar plan, plus a debate for the second tier.
