Fox News drops 'fair and balanced' slogan without announcement

The US news network Fox News has dropped its slogan "fair and balanced".

An executive told the BBC the decision had "nothing to do with programming or editorial decisions".
Last August, producers were asked to use the slogan "Most watched, most trusted" instead, but there has been no official announcement of the change.

Gabriel Sherman, the journalist who broke the story, tweeted that the slogan had been an "iconic tagline of the Roger Ailes era".

Mr Ailes, the founder and ex-chairman of Fox News, resigned last year after female employees made sexual harassment allegations against him, and died last month aged 77.

A Fox News spokesperson told the BBC the network had not used "fair and balanced" in external marketing or on-air promotions since August 2016.

The network is arguably the most powerful voice in US conservative media.
President Donald Trump regularly quotes the channel in his frequent Twitter statements.

That's good. Since Fox Noise was never "fair and balanced" anyways. Just a right wing fanatic channel. I tried watching it. Nothing balanced there at all.

Shouldn't that be "FOX drops 'fair and balanced' pretense"?




WickedsDesire -> RE: Fox News drops 'fair and balanced' slogan (6/15/2017 7:23:44 PM)

Fox news is a nasty vile piece of work

Its where the orange crack whore draws its "putinjizz filth" from

Odd that no other webshites will enable him? And every other news website is fake news

I heard a cat turd could outsmart the orange witless one

Here is what is sad but true...

They ARE the most watched. and They ARE the most trusted (by the people who watch them, which is more people than watch the other Cable News Networks)

Long ago, Roger Ailes figured out that, by definition, half the American population is of below average intelligence.
If you can cater to them and their fears, you're golden.

Didn't HL Mencken get there first, back in 1926?

I didn't say Ailes was first but yes there was the saying "Noone ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public"




WhoreMods -> RE: Fox News drops 'fair and balanced' slogan (6/16/2017 6:15:47 AM)

It's a very famous saying, but it's sometimes forgotten that when Mencken came out with it, the phrase was used in a column praising the tabloid newspaper format over broadsheets: why that should make me think of Fox, I can't imagine.

The only reason FOX drove leftists insane was that leftists are fascists who obsess over control. In this case, controlling the message.

They have practically every other media organization, a near monopoly - but there was that one lone network that didn't spew leftist propaganda

Except that Mencken had integrity and insight.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd we have a FOX news lover proving my point.[:D]

you have no point.

youre incapable of weighing information and coming to justifiable decisions concerning people with whom you disagree, because, like so many of the rest of the partisan hack comrades here, you think you're morally and intellectually superior, or you think that snark passes for criticism.

Wasn't so happy when FOX reported negative things about Trump. Called it fake news, and his tribe refused to even read it.

Nice job of making a claim and saying absolutely nothing to support it but using a lot of words to do so.

My ironicator just redlined.

You have never had a point, You are incapable of weighing information and coming to justifiable decisions because you are the typical nutsucker parroting the putinjizz that you have felchgobbled of nutsucker slobberblogs such as townhall. (still waiting on that list of 100s of FBI agents who have quit.......apparently they have been rehired to investigate putinjizz gobbling in the Il Douchovitch administration, hah?) Nobody is going to go into great detail with you retards dogshit44, you post the same viciously boring, factless toiletlick day after day, and then hysterically shit your pants when someone wont go into lengthy enumeration of its falsehood so you can post stupid shit like 'what a conservative believes compared to what liberals believe' like a nutsucker partisan hack who pretends a moral and intellectual superiority while on his knees felchgobbling putinjizz out of nutsucker icon ass.


Dont pretend to be more than an ineffectual, impotent retarded felchgobbler of putinjizz, doghshit44, you are an embarrassment to reason.
