And so far I’m more than underwhelmed. It looks like a remade Fox News website on the main page with a few extra conservative buzzwords thrown in (“Real American Stories” comes to mind here). Only comments are added. It’s kind of a news blog I guess. Here’s the site’s stated “purpose”…

The Fox Nation was created for people who believe in the United States of America and its ideals, as expressed in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Emancipation Proclamation.

It is a community that believes in the American Dream: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. One that believes being an American is an honor, as well as a great responsibility—and a wonderful adventure.

This is a place for people who believe we live in a great country, a welcoming refuge for legal immigrants who want to contribute their talent and abilities to make our way of life even greater. We believe we should enjoy the company and support of each other, delighting in the creativity, ingenuity, and work ethic of one and all, while observing the basic rules of civility and mutual respect and, most importantly, strengthening our diverse society by striving for unity.

The Fox Nation is for those committed to the core principles of tolerance, open debate, civil discourse–and fair and balanced coverage of the news. It is for those opposed to intolerance, excessive government control of our lives, and attempts to monopolize opinion or suppress freedom of thought, expression, and worship.

We invite all Americans who share these values to join us here at Fox Nation.

It really chaps my hide to see a news organization create something like this. News is supposed to chronicle what’s going on, not organize or represent a movement, be it conservative or liberal. This is worse than MSNBC going liberal in primetime. What’s even sadder is the pandering that FNC is doing here. It’s lip service. If FNC really wanted to accomplish the things that it spelled out above, it would have gone about it in a whole different manner. This is nothing more than mere window dressing designed to attract in conservatives without really doing anything more than say “Hey Conservatives, come here!” It’s quite cynical actually…
