Fox News has been quite the show this week. Now I appreciate their outrage at events in the Gulf as much as the next person, but it has at times approached a level of hysteria that just confirms my opinion that they aren't really journalists. I guess this is what happens when you don't have a real context for understanding...anything.
Geraldo Rivera had a real meltdown moment at the NO Convention Center the other night. I thought for a minute he was going to start yelling Let My People Go! (Maybe he always secretly wanted to be Charleton Heston.)
If Fox's "reporters" have actually gained some insight into the consequences of class warfare and the dismantling of the public sector, and if they actually impart (or are allowed to impart) some of that understanding to their listeners, they might get some props from me. Until then, they'll just be drama queens.
