Fox & Friends

I have finally realized and will finally admit, that a television is an idiot box, thank you fox and friends, I will no longer watch tv.

At first blush, FOX Network's entry for the morning coffee klatch seemed like it would be a "fair and balanced" friendly little morning talk-fest. However, as have most of FOX Net's shows, the hosts here seem now to pick up the White House Talking Points on the way into the studio. What we have now is long on editorializing and short on news, humor, and friendly chatter. This one needs a major shake-up.

Fox and Friends has the slickest production of any of the morning shows, while others look like a boring newspaper they look like glossy covered magazine. Fox and Friends on camera talent all have the best hair by far. They also have the prettiest woman of any morning show or any news shows hands down. There core morning team consist of The Weather Guy, The Sports Guy, and The VJ. Light and fluffy is the banter and the tone but the subjects are weighty ones. When it's time for a serious subject they go to Mancow. The bumper music has lots of electric guitar and has a rockin vibe to it not that classic news music that sounds like Indiana Jones. They do, like every other morning show, cover all of what there going to say in the first 10 min. and then go into a loop for the remainder of the show. Most interviews are the basic, "Here is so and so, buy there book." News used to be food for thought but now its turned into fastfood for thought. Fox and Friends leads the way.

It is designed for the IQ of children, but do not underestimate its power on people.

Any intelligent person will know that there are two sides to the story and this show is consistently just showing a one sided approach to their stories. Balance is the key, to listen to pros and cons, why and why not, positives and negatives, etc. Of course it's more enjoyable to listen to people who see and think like you, but you should not be afraid to listen to other perspectives as you will learn more and would be able to judge more accurately. So a show that is balance would be more enjoyable and educating.
