I think Fox News is very good at presenting the facts. It is also very good at presenting eloquent opinions about tough subjects. Further, Fox is a real news organization contrary to other opinions here, if you count CNN as a real news organization anyway. Fox has put a big dent in CNN's ratings, and has in fact beat CNN on many occasions in the ratings game.
Ironically, Fox News' parent company News Corp had its senior executives testifying to Senator Ernest Hollings' committee that high-tech companies were hypocritical for suing others for intellectual-property violations while failing to develop software or hardware to protect entertainment.
Looks to me that Fox News enjoys the freedom to tell the truth, even if the business end of the company seeks political intervention as a solution to a market problem. I cannot say I feel the same for other so called Networks who lean left and don't admit it.
I do have to say that our industry would do itself a huge favor by developing technologies that allow for better protection of intellectual-property for all types of electronic content. Not only will it move us towards wider consumer use of technology, but will protect intellectual-property from misuse which leads to high costs for all of us.
Question is: How do we protect free speech and the rights of intellectual-property owners? That is the next billion dollar high-tech industry!
