PostFri Oct 06, 2006 6:02 pm    Happy Birthday, Fox News: O'Reilly's Latest Column

Quote:
Happy Birthday, Fox News
By: Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.com

his week marks the tenth anniversary of the Fox News Channel and because of an early gift by President Clinton, the operation is getting maximum exposure. As you may know, Mr. Clinton became very annoyed when Chris Wallace, the anchor of Fox News Sunday, pressed him as to why Osama Bin Laden did so much damage on Clinton's watch without being held to account.

The President responded that Mr. Wallace was conducting a "right-wing hit job."

Having lived through the past ten years anchoring a news analysis progam on FNC, I found Mr. Clinton's annoyance amusing. The Bin Laden question is certainly valid, and while Larry King would not have asked it, most other CNN correspondents, I believe, would have. So what's the real beef here?

To understand what's going on, we begin with the founder of CNN, Ted Turner, who greeted the arrival of FNC a decade ago with the quote, "We'll squash them like a bug."

That squishing sound you hear is Mr. Turner's prediction ground into pulp. FNC hammers CNN in the ratings all day, every day. That is not making the liberal Turner and his fellow travelers very happy, and that is the heart of this matter.

The column continues here.


Indeed, Happy Birthday to the best cable news network ever, and O'Reilly's right on his analysis of the media, I think.
