Fox "News"
And then there is the biggest crime against journalism, Fox "news". Oh, where to begin. Let's start with the media's responsibility to the public. The media is supposed to report the facts of the news to the public. They are supposed to investigate and uncover the truth. They are supposed to uncover corruption and dishonesty in politics and the world. Most importantly, they are supposed to do it in an unbiased manner. This seems to be the opposite of what Fox "news" stands for. There is no attempt made to hide the network's Conservative bias, and what's more impressive is that they have the courage to state that they are "fair and balanced." The media is supposed to present the facts, not the facts that are convenient to their political party. And then they have their Conservative pundits who get paid to go on T.V and spew their opinions on the national airwaves. Now, under the Constitution, they do have the right to express their opinions freely. But Bill O'Reily and Sean Hannity are a major crux of the Fox "news" network. This has no place on a news network. If these people want a place to display their opinions, it belongs on another network. But Fox proudly displays their pundits. And that, along with their obvious bias, is why Fox does not deserve the title of a news network. They can be a Republican party network if they want, but their crimes against journalism have lost the network the right to call itself news.
