OK, here's a deal.

Rumor has it that Roger Ailes (Ohio Univ. grad), President of Fox News is probably going to become head of all Fox media properties. One of his goals will be to put more news on the on air FOX owned tv stations (not the cable channel).

(Please remember that not all FOX affilliates are owned by the network -- same with NBC, ABC, CBS)

Those stations come under the regulation of the FCC -- which the cable channels don't.

Even though TV has been de-regulated in terms of "Fairness" and "Equal Opportunity," the on air stations still have to keep some semblence of equality and journalistic integrity.

Let's see if (and how) the "tone" of national newscasts (Ailes will almost certainly try to start one) differ between the on air and cable networks.
