I wanted to post an article I read in the paper last week in regards to Fox News. I found it interesting because many people in the class felt that Fox news was not reliable, and many of them said they will not watch it and do not like the the channel. Most of their opinions came from the Outfoxed video and from other sources such as "Family Guy." In my opinion you can not form a bias on a news channel just from watching a video, especially one made by former Fox employees. Family Guy may be a great cartoon, but it not reliable, and most of the material on the show is not true. The article in the Herald states that Fox News is one of the most reliable News channels and has high ratings on tv. It also states that people find Fox news to be more reliable then CNN and NBC. The Herald typically isn't too liberal or too conservative, so I do not feel that this article is not biased in any way. It also seems that recently more and more people are watching Fox News and are trusting them more. I guess I was just surprised and confused as to why so many people in the class did not like the channel.
