They report, sort of...

Howard Kurtz has commented on the amount of opinions injected into the 24 hour news networks.

In covering the Iraq war last year, 73 percent of the stories on Fox News included the opinions of the anchors and journalists reporting them, a new study says.

By contrast, 29 percent of the war reports on MSNBC and 2 percent of those on CNN included the journalists' own views.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've turned on Fox and Friends and watched Brian Kilmeade go into a full-on Clinton fit. And my reaction is to just sit there and think "Shut the fuck up -- you're the sports guy." And in case anyone couldn't tell, Steve Doocy is the weatherman.

These findings -- the figures were similar for coverage of other stories -- "seem to challenge" Fox's slogan of "we report, you decide," says the Project for Excellence in Journalism.

In a 617-page report, the group also found that "Fox is more deeply sourced than its rivals," while CNN is "the least transparent about its sources of the three cable channels, but more likely to present multiple points of view."

Ahhh. Deeply sourced. Diplomatic-speak for "tinfoil hat ravings." So finally, can we have a count of the "Some People Say" phenomenon as seen on Outfoxed?

The project defines opinion as views that are not attributed to others.

Thanks!
