I thought Fox News made a good move when they took on Ed Henry for their White House correspondent. I have repeatedly been impressed with his hard hitting and straight forward reporting from the White House briefing room. Considering Henry has to put up with Jay 'Clown' Carney and has to fight his way through Carney's obfuscations and flat out prevarication, I'd say that Fox News got a great deal when they brought Henry on board. The following is from an interview of Henry by Laura Ingraham.
"If we're going to be sitting there in the briefing room, let's not be a bunch of lemmings. Let's actually stand up and ask tough questions. If the administration has answers for them, great, let's move on to the next story. But if answers keep changing, then you better keep asking questions over and over."

My personal perception: Also, maybe that is why the sound of CNN changed. I didn't realize Ed Henry came from CNN, but it makes sense. What they lost, Fox gained. Ailes has a good grip on things. I wonder why Ed H. was willing to change.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Ed Henry saw Fox News as a place where he could actually practice journalism without the constraints of management dictating the outcome of his reporting.
