Maybe One Day Fox News Will Grow Up

The Tabloid-esque News channel is having trouble being an actual news channel. The channel's morning show, Fox and Friends (aka, The View with men), was doing a piece on New York Times "attack dogs" and their criticism of Fox News. So, in response, the guys on Fox and Friends decided to talk about it, and...well...just read the Media Matters story to be baffled:

"During a segment in which Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head."

The photos are here:

Incredibly childish, but also kind of funny in a "WTF?!?!" kind of way. I mean, it's pretty trivial, but I never thought they'd sink that low. Here's the clip:



I do believe there is a reason that NBC and CNN have a combined 25 News Journalism awards this year, while Fox News has none. The channel is less about News and more about defending GOPism.
