Happy Birthday Fox!

I'm a day late, but the wishes are the same, from Thomas D. Segel:

The only bright light on the news horizon seems to be The Fox News Channel...and it is the latest entry into cable news. Today, while celebrating its tenth year on the air, Fox News rightfully boasts it is the Number One cable news network. According to Glenn Garvin, writing for McClatchy Newspapers it has held this ranking..."for the past 58 months with an audience almost as big as its two main competitors combined. It took Fox News just five years to surpass MSNBC, with its powerful corporate backers, and CNN with its 16 year head start." Garvin goes on to say that Fox News reached the 90 million-subscriber mark faster than any cable channel in history.

I'd have given up on honesty in the news long ago if not for Fox News and Brit Hume. Many more!
