Ah, Fox News, you have much to answer for!

(Srsly, when nearly every other news organisation dosn't like you because of your attitude...)
So because all the other news orgs don't like Fox News (because they're getting their socks blown off by Fox) that means Fox is not a good news outlet? That's just plain nonsensical.

Wait, you're claiming Fox News are into explosives now?

Yea, anyway, no - Fox News has made itself unpopular because of it's staff's bad attitude and bad news reporting. "Fair and balanced" as an elephant on a mono cycle.

News Corporation only bought the software solution part.

The hardware development part (the e-book reader) from Skiff is still owned by the Hearst Corporation

Why do you think it's called Faux News? With the exception of the Newshour on PBS I listen to all news reports with a great deal of skepticism. My biggest complaint about Fox News and to a lesser degree MSNBC and CNN is the propensity to present editorial views as news.

Back OT, I'd be surprised if Skiff ever makes it to market. Too bad, competition is good.

Fox News isn't a news channel at all. In the good old Germany you would call it a "Propaganda Kanal"

True, it's in my bookmarks under "Comedy", not "News".

Have you ever watched Fox News? I am guessing you have, but for the life of me I don't understand how can you possibly consider Fox to be anything remotely similar to a news channel? Have you ever watched, for example, the BBC?
Fox news is beyond the pale. It's an offence to common sense and to all real news media outlets out there.

Somebody who watches Fox News without being forced or believe the 'information' on that channel can't be helped. They are lost ...
