Why do so many Fox News talking heads have backgrounds in tabloid journalism?

Bill O' Reilly, Greta Van Susteren, Geraldo Rivera, etc.
Even Glen Beck was a radio shock jock. Why do all the big shots on Fox all come from the bottom of the information barrel?
 
Rupert Murdoch knows how to make money. He's just the newest in a line of corrupt media-controlling billionaires who have slowly ground our country down to the rich-poor wasteland/paradise it is today. Here's an example from history.

Marijuana was criminalized in the early 1900s because William Randolph Hearst (Patty Hearst's grandfather) successfully equated marijuana use with lazy Negroes in his huge line of newspapers.

The stereotype stuck, and he successfully furthered his agenda by using the public to effectively ban most of his competition (hemp was used to make newspapers, among many other things in the textile industry; the same reason that fear campaigns have been run against marijuana to keep it illegal ever since).
 
A better question simply is why are they correct and reporting the truth? The main stream media and simply refuses to report on things they don't agree with.

The main stream media you are so proud of has Mathews with the thrill going up his leg because of Obama.

Let's see Dan Rathers lying about Bush and being fired.
Apparently where a person comes from is more important than how they report.

The people you name all have much higher rating than the main stream media people, because people realize they are totally partisan.

ABC CBS and CNN have all lost major shares of listeners, because people are tired of their lies.
 
When the news became entertainment, the clowns came rushing in. News was actually better and more honest when it was simply propaganda. Now it's offensive propaganda that makes me want to hold my nose.
