  • "...a person, thing, or event considered as a choice subject for journalistic treatment; newsworthy material."

    That is what editors do - no? Make that choice? We cover this? Yes? Why? What is new about this? Why would people care? It's a pretty standard definition - not just Fox's

    Hilariously in the US there is a massive perception that major network news has a very left leaning bias - leading to the echo chamber that is Fox News. I have a close relative who has worked in the major national network news sector for some 25 years. He'll probably vote for Trump as will most of his colleagues. (They are all angry older white men who are pining for the 1980s)

  • Yes and no: there are certain news sources that will make a point of avoiding the fluffier stuff, whereas others will embrace it completely. The point you make about the differing perceptions in the US shows this to be true.
