Fox News says London blasts "to Western World's advantage"
 

The following exchange between Fox News host Brian Kilmeade and Fox News
business contributor and substitute host Stuart Varney occurred during
breaking news coverage of the attacks on London subways and buses on the
July 7 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:

KILMEADE: And he [British Prime Minister Tony Blair] made the statement,
clearly shaken, but clearly determined. This is his second address in the
last hour. First to the people of London, and now at the G8 summit, where
their topic Number 1 - believe it or not - was global warming, the second
was African aid. And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should
know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1. ** But it's
important for them all to be together. I think that works to our advantage,
in the Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like
this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened. **

VARNEY: It puts the Number 1 issue right back on the front burner right at
the point where all these world leaders are meeting. It takes global warming
off the front burner. It takes African aid off the front burner. It sticks
terrorism and the fight on the war on terror, right up front all over again.

Obviously not as anyone who had any concern for his street cred wouldn't
even utter these words except to put down this pathetic excuse for a
news channel.

I would rather put it as "calling it like Murdoch thinks it is".

I have, as ever, far more respect for the BBC's reporting.

Murdoch puts his own tabloid spin on everything.
You just have to look at the coverage of todays events on Sky and compare
them to BBC News 24.

Sky virtually made sensational claims whenever they liked with no substance
to a lot of their headlines.
3 buses for example.

To be fair, the BBC did speculate that at one point as well - all it
turned out to be was 3 different people reporting 1 explosion but none
of them knowing exactly where it took place.

That said, I do dislike Sky News's sensationalist style, and think
that BBC News 24 is vastly superior and hugely more professional.

As an American I can tell you I find FoxNews terribly unbalanced, often
offensive, and just plain rotten. I've given up watching it entirely (except
for their weather which is quite good....)

Do Fox viewers get less hurricanes than (eg) CNN viewers?
