Removd two references that really weren't references at all - the Fair and Balanced one was a listing of jobs at Fox and the other was contained nothing.

Fox News has dominated the ratings of other cable news shows.{{fact}} Possibly because they report in a way that is more moderate then most news channels and because they do not attack George W. Bush or the Iraq War{{fact}}, a strategy quite popular among most of the media. Fox News prides itself on reporting on "good news" from Iraq, such as new schools being built and new roads being built and for reporting the suicide bombings in context of the broader war on terrorism and the religion they represent. Fox News was the first and only US cable news company to use the term "homicide bombing" to describe attacks by Arabs and Palestinians on Israelis.
