Weblogs: Being Fox News

ReidBlog: Being Fox News: "Courtesy of Atrios, MSNBC's David Schuster reminisces (in a Herald Times article) about his time as a Fox News reporter:

'With the change of administration in Washington, I wanted to do the same kind of reporting, holding the (Bush) administration accountable, and that was not something that Fox was interested in doing,' he said.

'Editorially, I had issues with story selection,' Shuster went on. 'But the bigger issue was that there wasn't a tradition or track record of honoring journalistic integrity. I found some reporters at Fox would cut corners or steal information from other sources or in some cases, just make things up. Management would either look the other way or just wouldn't care to take a closer look. I had serious issues with that.' "
