It is entertainment. They don't maintain reporting offices all over the world like other networks. Their stories and reporting are reduced to easily digestible sound bytes. Their scripts could benefit from better copy editing. Many of their anchors are encouraged to use colloquial speech patterns such as dropping final syllables to sound like midwestern blue collar workers.

What passes for news is actually talk and commentary -about- the news.

That said, they do often present view points that are missing from many other outlets.

Are they conservative ? Debatable.
Are they to the right of their (left leaning) competition ? Definitely.

Info-Tainment is probably the best way to describe FOX.

most people here. My viewer impressions were fair and balanced with Brittany Baby thrown in as the stereotypical Fox devotee. (I do not have cable and don't see Fox, MSNBC, or CNN.)

I never intended for this to be a tee off for Fox detractors outside the limits of the film.

The film does make it quite clear that Fox is about entertainment.
