Reuters CEO on Fox News and the Iraq war:

Here’s the interesting economic question. There’s no question Fox and others are brilliant at what they do. Fox understands that basically people want to watch news a bit like they do sport: We want to root for the home team. It’s war as a grown-up sport, and Fox has always been good at sport. But there is a disaffected, smaller group who don’t want that.

He’s talking about Reuters in a broad context in this interview, but that caught my eye. Good read if you’re interested in how one of the biggest news companies (with actual reporters and international bureaus) looks at the media space.
