Fox News

All of these bad reports on Fox News being "too far right" or "too right wing" could be correct. Let's say they are.

Is that really a bad thing? In a world of left leaning CNN or MSNBC, isn't competition a good thing? If you were to look at this with a business mind, having one or a few different options are a good thing. Let's say you want to start a photography company. There's a few in town that are really popular, some most than others, but they all take photos in black and white. You want to start your own company, but with colored photos. The next thing you know, your business is taking off because you offer something different. You offer something not being offered in studios. Naturally, you take business away from the studios with black and white pictures, so your company grows at a much faster pace. Now change the vocabulary in this idea.

You are a tv channel. Other channels offer left leaning news. Fox decides to be more right leaning. The next thing you know, business is taking off and in this case, you become the number one cable news network.

With both stories, it's only natural that the other companies will start to become angry. The reason: you are taking the business away from them. What they say: it's because its all "right wing". My question again is, is that really a bad thing?

If you like the colored photos over the black and white photos, should you be dammed? Should you be dammed for only liking the black and white photos over the colored? I believe that's a fair question.

I, personally, like Fox News. Not only because they can be "right wing" but that they treat me like a human adult. Not a dumb monkey.

And what is "right wing"? Talking about Liberty? About Capitalism? The greatness of America? Honoring the Constitution? The Rule of Law? Bringing respect and dignity throughout the world?

If these are Right Wing, consider me guilty.
