[quote=Anonymous]I think it all comes down to subjectivity vs. objectivity as it relates to Fox News.  I think they are rooted in the concept of subjective truth as opposed to objective truth in their reporting.  A subjective truth is true for the person(s) making the judgement, even though it may not be true for others, i.e. "It's cold in here".  An objective truth is true for people of all cultures, times, etc., even if they do not know it or recognize it to be true, i.e. “People need water and air to live”.  From an entertainment perspective, which in my subjective opinion is what Fox News is more geared to - entertainment - I think Fox News just finds it quicker, easier, and more captivating to report subjective truths about stories that appeal to their target audience as opposed to taking the time to actually dig around and get all the facts in an attempt to report objective truths about stories which may not be as entertaining or as appealing to their target audience.  I think Fox News sees themselves as more liken to a branch of the entertainment industry than a part of the journalism industry and thus they aren't as regimented in following the journalism code of ethics.
