Friday’s Must Reading: Happy Birthday to FOXNews And What It Means

“…the true genius of Roger Ailes, which had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with money. Ailes was creating a third cable news network with little money and so he built it around not producers and their pieces but around conversation and personality. It made the news a helluva lot cheaper to make; it was, as it turns out, a lot more compelling (or entertaining or enraging, if you prefer). And it gave TV news a voice.”Jeff Jarvis, Buzzmachine, 06 Oct 06

Jeff Jarvis’ Buzzmachine blog was one of the first blogs I ever read. I still like Buzzmachine, even though I don’t always agree with Jeff. You ask why? Read this and I think you’ll understand. Read the entire article. Thanks Jeff.
