The media is supposed to be the early warning system against irresponsible Government.

Fox was the cheerleader squad during the last administration, and probably will be for the next one. The problems is less the newscasters than the public who only want to listen to certain viewpoints. There is a certain demographic that pays attention to Fox and another that pays attention to other sources. Both groups don't want honest reporting - they want things spun to back up their view of the world. The reporters are just giving their customers what they want.
