#4 The most interesting part about all of the success and legitimacy that FNC has attained is that even the "professional" Democrats (i.e. supposedly well-informed) cannot bear to admit that FNC is simply more "fair and balanced" than any other news outfit, and that's despite it's obvious conservative tilt. As one of my Democrat lobbyist friends told me when I pointed out that the most recent polling shows FNC to be the "most trusted" news outlet, her response was that being popular doesn't necessarily mean better. I took no small pleasure in pointing out that while I agree with her statement (see: 2008 election), she was really missing the point as the poll did not ask which was most the popular but rather which was the most trusted and there is a difference there, however slight. She didn't have much of a response to that.

#6 It would be interesting to see that if FOX regular broadcast network, started a half hour 'Nightly News' program, would draw away from ABC, CBS, NBC nightly news'. (?)

According to Pajamas the night Scott Brown was elected Fox News was the only major network who had guests from both sides of the aisle. All the others had only DFemocrtas and in addition their reporters (ie those who are supposed to report and only that) threw dirt on the people who had voted "incorrectly" and/or specualted about how, _we_ that is the Democrats could rebound.
