Who Knew?
"Jack Mirkinson reports that Pew Research Center's annual "State of
the Media" study found that, since 2007, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC have
all cut back sharply on the amount of actual reporting found on their
airwaves. Cheaper, more provocative debate or interview segments have
largely filled the void. Pew found that Fox News spent 55 percent of the time on opinion
and 45 percent of the time on reporting. Critics of that figure would
likely contend that the network's straight news reporting tilts
conservative, but it is true that Fox News has more shows that feature
reporting packages than MSNBC does. According to Pew MSNBC made the key
decision to reprogram itself in prime time as a liberal counterweight to
the Fox News Channel's conservative nighttime lineup. The new MSNBC
strategy and lineup were accompanied by a substantial cut in interview
time and sharply increased airtime devoted to edited packages. The Pew
Research examination of programming in December 2012 found MSNBC by far
the most opinionated of the three networks, with nearly 90% of MSNBC's primetime coverage coming in the form of opinion or commentary."
