FNC.com’s Campus Hook-Ups segment…

The Boston Herald’s Jessica Heslam writes about FNC.com’s online “Campus Hook-Ups” segment…

Syndicated columnist and Emerson College professor Jeffrey Seglin said the producers of the FNC iMAG section on the Web and the network’s news programs aren’t “cut from the same cloth” and aren’t going after the same audience.

“It’s certainly not consistent with people like (FOX host Bill) O’Reilly and those guys who sort of tout family values,” Seglin said.

Leigh Hallisey, adjunct professor of pop culture at Boston University’s College of Communication, said the video is “racy on the outside but the messages are still conservative.”

“From FOX News Channel’s perspective, there’s no news here. There’s much more pressing issues in the country and around the world and that’s what we’re focused on reporting,” said FOX spokesman Darin Johnson.

  1. This is not your typical FNC programming - but I am glad to see that they are offering more for younger viewers.

    That will help them in the long run.
