Fox just like every other television news source are completely entertainment and why a Republitarian like me doesn't watch them any more (even if I do agree with them most times). I mean, what news does O'Reily or Hannity break? They just talk about past news like gossip. But, this is the same garbage I get from CNN, ABC and (the worst one) MSNBC.

What evidence do you have besides that you don't like Fox that people only watch that confirms their presuppositions? Do you watch Fox? Have you ever agreed with Fox on anything?

If anything, people hate the current talking heads because they are pushing their own agenda -- on all sides.

The Internet is exposing people to other views because news sites, like /., are not pushing political views -- just their readers. Which, seems to be a trend considering that quasi-non partisan sites are more popular than the traditional ones.

Furthermore, I don't think there's anything wrong with going to places that you agree with because you believe their right, not because you're sheltering yourself from opposing views.

Why Video Blogs Will Suck 234

Ohreally_factor writes "Web Usability Guru Jakob Nielson has recently written a piece for his Alertbox Blog that does not bode well for video bloggers: Static, talking heads are even more boring on the internet than they are on TV. Nielson backs up his ideas with data from a study done on eyetracking while watching web video. One of Nielson's caveats: 'keep distracting elements out of the frame of your shots. If there's a road sign in the video, for example, users will try to read it and will thus miss some of the main content.'"
