Integrity At FOX?

Apparently it means "quitting."

Quote:Fox News Correspondent Conor Powell Resigns: ‘Lots of Reporters Are Very Unhappy’

Conor Powell was “uncomfortable with the direction of the news organization in recent months,” a person familiar with the matter told TheWrap

Quote:In his public post, Powell did not reveal why he had left, but an individual familiar with the matter told TheWrap that he was “uncomfortable with the direction of the news organization in recent months. Fewer news shows. More opinion shows. Less resources for reporters to report.”

The individual added, “Lots of reporters are very unhappy with directions of FNC right now.”

Just now, these last few months?  Bwahahahahaha.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

"Recent months"? How about 20 years?

Sheppard Smith is about the only talent there who can seem to stop when it becomes over the top bullshit. 

I do think however, the more individuals who are sane keep pounding that network with the fact that a politician vilifying the entire industry is dangerous, is what is making some pull their head out of the sand.

To be fair there has always been more than one side to Fox news.

They had regular news programs that mostly just reported.  Not much different than any random local news show.  XYZ happened. Then they had their opinion shows disguised as news, and that is where they utterly fail. And it is in that very yellow journalism department that they have grown, and grown monstrous.

I used to watch Hannity and Colmes and rooted for Colmes.

But back then that was about the only program on that network I considered remotely balanced. They ditched Colmes because he kept telling the truth.
