[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  My best friend (who my mother adores), was actually educated at an Ivy.  Then went on to Columbia for a graduate degree in journalism.  While she was there, we became great friends with someone who I consider to be a wickedly funny, thoughtful writer and observer of the world.  He self identifies as a conservative liberal.

He took a job writing for FOX after graduation.  We couldn't make sense of it, until he told us that he wanted to spend a year writing for an entertainment circus. [b] He didn't believe anything he wrote for air, [/b]and said he approached it as if he was writing for the Onion.  He was shocked that he was never challenged, but celebrated.

We told him he sold his soul to the devil.

I told my mom a sanitized version of this very real situation, and she didn't speak to me for three weeks.  [/quote]

60% of what Fox News reports is inaccurate or made up.   Now I see why.   He did sell his soul.[/quote]

He wrote what sells.  Fox knew it, and didn't have the journalistic integrity to check sources.  Once he didn't dance for the network, he was out.  They could always find someone else to make up stories.  That is their business.  [/quote]
