Fox News Takes Stab At MSNBC: "We Don't Lean... We Move Forward"

[DToTheJ]

Recently, MSNBC has unveiled a new advertising campaign using the tagline, "Lean Forward."

Not to be outdone, Fox News Channel is taking a potshot at their cable news rival's new campaign by running promos suggesting that they "move forward," adding that they don't "stand still" and they "don't lean."

(I know, Fox News not leaning, hard to believe...)

I don't get "lean forward". I get pretty much all the other slogans on TV & Radio; "Today's Best Variety" "___'s #1 Hit Music Station" etc. But what the hell does "Lean Forward" mean? This one was just asking for the other guys to jump all over it.

I loathe Fox News, but they win this round.

Fox News is wasting their time with this ad. They should've come up with something better, but instead it's going to make the viewers more confused as to who is actually going "Forward."

The Fox Tabloid Channel should be the proper name...it's all about sensationalism. Only thing I find amusing is when Bill "O'Really" has a violent hissy fit on the air and asks the contol room person to "cut off his (guest with the opposing viewpoint)'s mike!".... I swear this poor excuse for a news channel channel geared to the good 'ol boy community and the big buisiness upper-echelon drew its inspiration from everybody from Joe Pyne,Big Time Wrestling and Roller Derby to TMZ,tabloids,Willis Carto and the Birchers spokesman Alan Stang. I have seen this brand of hate rhetoric decades ago by the lattter.....what would Edward R. Murrow have done if he were still with us today.

Fair and balanced??? MY FOOT!!!!!

The way Fox News and MSNBC act towards each other reminds me of pro wrestling. ;D

You kids are all so precious, relying on cable channels to get "news".

Yer as pretty as a picture, you are.

I'm wondering when NBC lawyers are going to step in and cry "intellectual property".
