10:30 "Coverage you can count on, this is FOX Eyewitness News"
Notes: Overuse of r, w, b colours within texts and backgrounds (alignment of FOX with "national news", with THE news for America"
-Esp. in conjunction with statements like "coverage you can count on" or "only with Fox News"
-Very strong, husky voice of male newscaster (who's wearing dark blue suit, white shirt, red tie) - --> Quintessentially 'all-American' --> he's the one talking about the hold-ups, the near- fatal accidents (clearly more 'masculine' subjects)
-Prevalence of middle-class related ads (ie. plumbing, cars like Ford, etc.)
-Total of 20 advertisements
-5 car commercials
-11 commercials concerning RI-specific products
-2 commercials for other FOX programs
-1 political commercial
-1 clearly geared to elderly (Miralax)
-We all know FOX is conservative (-> McCain comes first when discussing politics, little mention of Obama, NO mention of local environmental issues, little economic analysis, no mention of Greenspan, Bush, etc.)
