Why is Fox News' live coverage of unexpected breaking news so crappy?

[norml]

The KSDX view on CNN is so much better than the KTVI view on Fox News. The view being shown on Fox News is pathetic, just smoke coming up from over the horizon. They don't even have a helicopter on the scene? Fox News has no real ability to cover any real news or live event. When something's breaking even the Fweepers know to go to a real news channel.

1. Because if the report it as its breaking, they haven't been briefed yet

on how to spin it.

2. they are working on the angle to get the Clenis in the shot

THEN they will have 'scooped' the REAL story

7. OK, the Fox affiliate now has a helicopter with a shaky camera in the air.

Meanwhile CNN has gone to switching the view around between all of their affiliates with their many helicopters in the air giving many views.

8. the Clenis

GET ME THE CLENIS!!!

3. NO RW - Talkingpoints

4. because FAUX doesn't actually practice journalism

so anything they do is going to have that cheap tabloid feel.

5. It interferes with their....

planned propaganda programming. They then have to "wing it", and the garden variety right wingnut has a tough time thinking on his feet.

6. They are working hard on

finding a way to connect Clinton with this...lol.
