Fox News

2004

• October 12 -- Still Hunting Fox News
Frank Rich's latest "arts" column features an attack on Fox News viewers: "If you limit your diet to Fox and its talk-radio and blogging satellites, you may think that the only pressing non-Laci Peterson, non-Kobe, non-hurricane stories are 'Rathergate' and the antics of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth."

September 28 -- Tommy Franks' Book Sounds "Scripted By Fox News"
Editor Michael Newman takes on Gen. Tommy Franks' book and says some of it sounds scripted by Fox News (at the Times, that's an insult).

• August 17 -- Hocking Another Anti-Republican Art Project
Times contributor Edward Gomez files the latest bit of NYT PR for anti-Republican art.

• July 28 -- Foxy Republicans
The Times claims Republicans are "Fox's natural constituency."

• July 21 -- And "Some Say" the NYT Is Liberal Propaganda
A.O. Scott likes "Outfoxed," the new anti-Fox News documentary: "There is also an amusing, appalling dissection of the way Fox uses the phrase 'some say,' as in 'some say Senator Kerry has a tendency to flip-flop,' not to cloak a source but to camouflage a statement of opinion." Scott also seems to consider Bill O'Reilly the second coming of Joe McCarthy.

• April 30 -- Alessandra Grates
In reviewing the TV coverage of the Bush-Cheney appearance before the 9-11 Commission, Times TV critic Alessandra Stanley singles out Fox News as “conservative” and “considerably more sanguine” about the White House occupants.

 

• April 8 -- The New York Times: Baghdad’s Favorite (Mis)Information Source?
After hearing Iraq’s “information minister” say U.S. troops had been driven from Baghdad’s airport, Fox’s Brit Hume wondered if he’d read it in the Times.

• April 8 -- Rupert Murdoch, "Stridently Hawkish" Media Mogul
Rupert Murdoch is the only media mogul in the universe with a point of view judging by David Kirkpatrick's profile of Murdoch's "conservative" media empire.
