How's That, Again?
Fox's success boils down to its ability to convey an attitude. It proclaims a gung-ho, can-do, we're-all-in-this-together-America spirit.
-MarketWatch's Jon Friedman, Oct. 12, 2007.
Uh, has Jon Friedman ever watched Fox News? "We're all in this together" is the exact opposite of the network's ethos. It's more "we God-fearing conservatives are in this together, against you 'secular progressive' hippies, who hate America and want six-year-olds to study the Koran in school and get gay-married."
And by the way, Red Eye co-host Bill Schulz's on-air quip "We're a very conservative news channel" was evidently meant as a joke -- it was part of a segment on the upcoming CFA-Iams cat show -- but it still represented, so far as I know, the first time a full-time Fox News employee has publicly acknowledged the network's political orientation. Too bad it aired at 2 a.m.
