Fox changing its colors?
In the article “Fox news primes its self for a shift”
it discussing the view of fox news channel on the incoming democrat president.
Fox news channel during the reign of Bush has been cited in saying that they
were biased and viewed the Republican opinion a lot more than the democrat.
With that being said, with a new democrat liberal president on their hands how
will they survive in the world of media? With the fox news channel competitors
right on their heels will they will have to change their ways and “play nice in
the sand box” with the democrats. In previous years the Bush administration
gave fox prime information that was unavailable to other media but with this
new president feel so inclined to? I doubt it. Fox has made their numbers by
persuading the American people that they need to love the Republican Party because
they are the ones who truly love America and if you didn’t agree with that
idealism that you could “shut up” as the famous Bill O’Reilly. Will it really
be possible for Fox to change its ways and become a real new channel that gives
the news unbiased? Many years during the Bush administration the Fox news
channels gave praise to Bush for acts in the war and for his policies. The even
went as far as to having most Republicans on their shows over democrats. They manipulated
the news into a way in which they only viewed the democrats as “flip-floppers”
who was not able to be all on one accord. Now that the tables have changed how
will they be able to tell the story without coming across as a channel
dedicated to hating the president. Even being interviewed in the article they
still cannot hid their views. “The philosophy of the
new show is, how to eat an elephant, one bite a time,“ he said, in a reference
to the giant problems the country faces. When it was observed that he cited a
symbol of the G.O.P., he added, “I think
we’ll do our eating and feasting on both of them — a little donkey and a little
elephant.” What is to come for fox and the republican loving station? I guess
we will have to wait and see.
