Go Skins Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/14/business/media/fox-news-fair-and-balanced.html?_r=0 Fox News is “Fair and Balanced” no more. In the latest sign of change at the cable news network, the “Fair and Balanced” motto that has long been a rallying cry for Fox News fans — and a finger in the eye of critics — is gone. The channel confirmed on Wednesday that slogan and network have parted ways. “The shift has nothing to do with programming or editorial decisions,” the network said in a statement. Instead, the slogan was dropped in part because of its close association with Roger Ailes, a network founder, former chairman and the originator of the phrase, who was fired in August in a sexual harassment scandal. The network said that “Fair and Balanced” was shelved as a marketing tool after Mr. Ailes’s departure. In its place is a new motto: “Most Watched, Most Trusted.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happen about the time when your local newspaper and the 3 networks stopped being your only source for news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
