Fox should have sat this one out

Today, Judge Timothy Kelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. is to issue his ruling as to whether to temporarily reinstate Jim Acosta’s White House press credentials. Kelly listened to the arguments from the various parties on Wednesday. Acosta asserted, in part, that the Trump administration’s decision to strip him of his press credentials was based solely on objections to the substance of his questions, in violation of his First Amendment rights. The administration pointed to Acosta’s rude behavior/conduct as the reason for its decision. That same day, Fox News announced that the network would back CNN in its lawsuit demanding the restoration of Acosta’s pass. According to Jay Wallace, Fox News president and executive editor:

“Secret Service passes for working White House journalists should never be weaponized. While we don’t condone the growing antagonistic tone by both the President and the press at recent media avails, we do support a free press, access and open exchanges for the American people.”........To Read More.....

My Take - It's my view Fox News is going to move to the left, slowing, inexorably but definitely.  It's also my view there will be another news station in the offing when Fox News is part of the leftist cabal, and that will be the end of Fox News, and truthfully, that won't bother me all that much since I stopped watching all but a few of their shows. 

I don't like the lack of intellectual in depth discussion, I don't like all the emoting, and I don't like the idea that "news" shows are too concerned about being entertaining.  The best news show I ever watched was William F. Buckley's Firing Line.  No shouting, no interruptions, in depth discussion that was profound and provocative, and almost no one knows what I'm talking about when I bring it up.  Then there was Fred Friendly's Ethics in America series. 

Absolutely amazing, and even fewer people heard of them.

America is now the center of the infromation universe.  There's more access to more information in the United States than any country in the world and in all time, and yet we're stunningly ignorant as a society.  No wonder so many "Feel the Bern"!
