They seem obsessed. Every accident is a secret terrorist attack now on that website.

Actually I was watching Fox News (Fox and Friends) and the female reporter Amy Kellog used the word "attack" before correcting herself so yes I think it is institutionalized (as you put it obsessed) at Fox News.  |
I do sometimes wonder.
I think someone in this thread earlier suggested that it was because I veremently disliked the Murdoch press (I could be wrong, I just cant really be bothered to re-read the entire thread). Not true. If i'm watching News on television, I prefer Sky News to BBC. As they (Sky and Fox) are both part of the same news organisation, they pool a large number of reporters and the Fox News corrispondents on Sky seem as capable of neutral reporting as their Sky counterparts.
If it was institutionalised, surely the Sky News service (which have to comply with strict rules regarding reporting bias) would not be able to use those reporters.
In the 1990's, there was a BBC comedy called "The Day Today" which was run as a mock news broadcast - and made fun of the industry. Some people have tuned into the Fox News channel in the UK here and thought they were watching a re-run :rotfl:
