Will Tony's new position inflence FOX coverage of the WH??
Some might think that FOX news anchor Tony Snow's appointment as press secretary to the president will affect FOX's coverage of news from the WH.

Will FOX now be harder on Bush and his administration, in order to disprove accusations of bias? That would be logical.

1. It will be same as it's always been ......
Fox is the propaganda arm of the repug nation. When Cheney shot an old man in the face, he gave his only "interview" on Fox.

This just confirms the incestuous relationship between the repugs and Fox news. There is not even the appearance of objectivity.

3. I've never watched Faux News in my life... and don't intend to start now.
So I could give a damn what they say on there.

7. That makes three!
I've yet to figure out why a liberal would watch a conservative slanted news program. :crazy:

5. FOX is going to set up a broadcast studio in the Lincoln Bedroom
but I doubt they'll change their coverage of the Bush WH.

6. Is that even possible? could it possibly be more distorted?
IMHO--not a chance.

9. FOX will be the *official* mouthpiece for this Executive Branch
Every scoop, every event will only use their lackeys.

Nope, won't be any different than business as usual. :P

10. Snow may not last long enough to find out.
There's a viable case for a Snow meltdown once he has to defend something indefensible, i.e. probably on his first day.

Lies straight from the WH to a tee-vee near you.

I wonder if Snow will get back pay for lying for the WH.

12. I never watch FOX either, but I have to believe those still inside FOX
will have at least SOME MORE inside information. Just thinking of how things work in the normal world of the rest of us, I know if I have a friend who took a job in another Company, and I wanted some information about that new Co., I know THAT FRIEND would be much more willing to tell me things he wouldn't be willing to say to someone he just met on the street or a stranger who called in cold.
