PEJ: FNC’s Journalists Are Opinionated Because They’re Not “Drones”

The Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz asks FNC executive daytime producer Jerry Burke about PEJ’s findings that Fox anchors frequently express their opinion: “I encourage the anchors to be themselves. I’m certainly not going to step in and censor an anchor on any issue…You don’t want to look at a cookie-cutter, force-feeding of the same items hour after hour. I think that’s part of the success of the channel, not treating our anchors like drones. They’re, number one, Americans, and number two, human beings, as well as journalists.”
