when it comes to turning NEWS into ENTERTAINMENT, no one can beat Fox. They turn almost every bit of news item into a modern day morality play pitting "evil big government pot smoking liberals" on one hand against "hard working, common sense practicing, small town values conservatives" on the other side.
It is no surprise that Fox is beating the tar out of its competitors.... They zero in on a mental habit or hook of the majority of Americans and manage to entertain, outrage, and 'inform' ... all at the same time. This is tabloid TV at its finest. Remember, Rupert Murdoch made his initial money from tabloid papers.
There's no room for nuance, irony, or postmodernism...
