Review of fox news morning show::What happened to kam carman? has she left fox 2 - Ask ...
Recently there has been a wave of news gaffes that could make one speculate if these are honest mistakes or dirty little tricks. Let's start with the the latest, from CNN which occurred during Wolf Blitzer's broadcast of "The Situation Room". During a preview for the show, there was a segment to be aired about the hunt for Osama bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders. When a graphic appeared with the face of Bin Laden, it said "Where is Obama"?, obviously referring to Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, instead of Osama the terrorist. The next morning, after several blogs, The Daily Kos and Raw Story called foul, Wolf apologized profusely for CNN and said he would call Senator Obama personally. Instances like this one are more serious than they appear. Once you see an image of Osama with the name "Obama" in front of it, it can plant a seed in the subconscious that links the two - basically, someone who hates America. Another recent case of mind manipulation came during the 2006 campaign for Congress. In Maryland, where Democrat Ben Cardin was facing off against Republican Michael Steele, Steele's campaign released signs and campaign material that read "STEELE" over the word "Democrat". They were very clever because it meant if you're a Democrat voting for Michael Steele, you might want a bumper sticker saying "Steele Democrat" but when it says "STEELE democrat", it sounds like his party affiliation. This was a trick meant to confuse people in a heavily blue state. During the Mark Foley scandal which roiled the outgoing Republican leadership and overshadowed their last session in Congress, Fox News flashed an interesting graphic during the "O'Reilly Factor". As it showed video of Mark Foley, underneath it said "Mark Foley - D (Democrat) -FL"... Foley is a Republican. This error was shown again on a later broadcast and it wasn't until the next day that is was even acknowledged. Again, this plants a seed in peoples mind to associate one thing with something else. In this case, it suggested this was Democrat scandal. Many people who don't pay close attention to political figures may not have known Foley's party affiliation. Another term journalists sometimes use during an interview is "Some might say...." when asking a question or making statement. It's a way for the journalist to get their own two cents in. Some political pundits and news anchors just make false statements only to retract them later. That is not right, because news should be totally objective in the first place. For example, on September 21st, 2005, Brit Hume of Fox News asserted that President George H. W. Bush never criticized President Bill Clinton while Clinton was in office. This was to draw contrast between the two because Clinton has criticized the current President George W. Bush many times. That was completely false, and only after MediaMatters.org (news watch dog site) pointed it out did Hume retract what he said. Obviously there are many people behind the scenes gathering information, but errors like this are not accidental. I applaud blogs and watchdog sites like Media Matters who sound the alarm when false information is presented as fact. Cable news in America has become so opinion based and subjective that it's no wonder our country is so divided. Why is it that we tend to dwell on one thing and nothing else? Mark Foley was on every every cable news show for two straight weeks. For an entire Summer the country was riveted by Natalee Halloway, as if she was the only missing person in the world. Out of all the missing people who could have benefited from just a fraction of the airtime, we gave unlimited coverage to this beautiful, blond, young missing girl.... Hmmm, beautiful, blond, young girl... OK, I get it now. We gravitate to what we want to hear, which is also why you see channels like Fox News going to the right, and MSNBC moving more to the left. They are so concerned with ratings that they want to keep certain audiences. Shows with political pundits like Bill O'Reilly, Chris Matthews, Sean Hannity and Joe Scarborough outnumber fact based news. If you take a few days and watch the BBC or The News Hour w/ Jim Lehrer, you will see the contrast is clear. Stories are not picked based on what the audience may or may not want to see. They breeze thru news topics to cover a broader range of information. It is much more objective than American cable news. |

Review of fox morning news::How to Contact Fox News? - What's Your Question?
Conservative columnist Tucker Carlson has joined Fox News. After brief stints with PBS, MSNBC, and CNN, he may have found his TV home. Tucker Carlson made his debut this morning on Fox in Friends, just in time for his 40th birthday. As he told New York Times, "this is the first thing I'm doing in my 40s other than shaving." Still, fans of the dancing bow tie-wearing pundit will be glad to see him on TV again. Tucker Carlson Joins Fox News: Career and Ideology Prior to joining Fox News, Tucker Carlson has hosted CNN's Crossfire and MSNBC's Tucker. He later served as a senior fellow for the Cato Institute. He has written for New York Magazine, Reader's Digest, Esquire, The Weekly Standard, The New Republic, New York Times Magazine, and The Daily Beast. Tucker Carlson was also a contestant on Dancing With the Stars, performing one of the worst routines in the show's history and earning a 3 from Bruno Tonioli. Yet this stint shows his sense of humor and willingness to step out of his comfort zone. Tucker Carlson's beliefs are rooted in conservative principles in that he opposes affirmative action, abortion, nanny-state regulations, and big-government policies. Yet he has criticized many of Bush's policies such as the Iraq war and the Wall Street bailouts, arguing that Bush was not much of a conservative. Tucker Carlson is also known for his libertarian leanings. He supported John McCain in 2000, and Ron Paul in 1988 and 2008. He isn't afraid to criticize those on either side of the aisle. He famously feuded with media-darling Jon Stewart, calling him a "partisan hack." Tucker Carlson's ideas do not fit neatly into either party. When asked why he wouldn't run for Congress, he explained that no one would vote for him. Hopefully he will find success at Fox News. He'll have a more receptive platform for his conservative ideas while bringing a non-partisan perspective to the network. Tucker Carlson Joins Fox News: Other Pundits Tucker Carlson is not the only cable news exile to join Fox News. In an increasingly polarized political climate, CNN's and MSNBC's overtly partisan biases have never been so pronounced as they were this election cycle. The inflammatory rhetoric of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann made the networks an unfriendly place for Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck. It may not be a coincidence that Glenn Beck, founder of the 9/12 Project, left CNN for Fox News in October 2008. Also joining Fox News is Bush's White House Press Secretary Dana Perino.
