Fox Reports, You Decide (On Missing White Women)
06.23.06 (8:55 am)   [edit]

Since the launching of the Fox News network on October 7, 1996, they came up the slogan "We Report, You Decide".  I feel they need to add a few words after the slogan to make it more fitting:  "We Report, You Decide: On Missing White Women".  If you ever watched the Fox News channel you may have noticed that the leading story on most of programs has to deal with a missing white woman.  If you are new to this idea try watching On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.  This show is a prime example of a "missing white woman" broadcast.  Studio B with Shephard Smith is another example as well.

You may be wondering why this is so, why is Fox News's majority of its stories devoted to missing white women?  I think the answer to that is pretty simple, they show us what the majority of the audience wants to see.  It has been proven and stated on "The Rush Limbaugh Show" that more females are watching TV  now than ever before.  Woman are starting to out number men according to TV polls.  Because of this, Fox News, in order to keep the majority of all news being watched, must show stories that are appealing to their new demographic, women.  This is just the simple concept of whoever has the highest ratings controlls the market and makes the most profit.

Here's what I don't understand.  Fox News makes it sound like the only people in America that come up missing are white woman preferably teenagers and college students.  I'm pretty sure that black women, black men, and even white men come up missing in the country but you don't hear anything about it.  Not many stories Fox News produces has to do with other missing people.  It seems to strictly dedicated its broadcasting to the missing white women.

I think they are all hanging out somewhere, you know? Like the new studios are sitting there thinking...what can we do to get more news? Oh! I know! Kidnap a whole bunch of white teenage girls! What? Yes! Good plan! So they do it. And all of these people are holed up together.

No? Okay, maybe not, but it would be mildly funny. Wouldn't it?

Missing white women? I do not watch Fox News, but you have intrigued me. The reason I so seldom watch it is because, when the truly interesting shows come on, the kidnapped white women that I have chained in the basement start needing to be fed. And I can't stand all of that complaining.

I can't watch cable news because I will kill somebody if I hear the name that rhymes with 'Blatalie Blallaway' one more time. Nancy Grace of course, is the worst offender, but she isn't on Fox News.
