A day late and a dollar short comes to mind
Fox News bully threatening whole news playground
By WILLIAM RASPBERRY


The in-your-face right-wing partisanship that marks Fox News Channel's news broadcasts is having two dangerous effects.

The first is that the popularity of the approach — Fox is clobbering its direct competition (CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, etc.) — leads other cable broadcasters to mimic it, which in turn debases the quality of the news available to that segment of the TV audience.

The second, far more dangerous, effect is that it threatens to destroy public confidence in all news.

Dude, had you written this article two years ago and not softened some of your points, this would be a damn fine article. As it stands, though...........Yep, a day late and a dollar short.
