The “Fox News Alerts” are talked about in OUTFOXED a lot. They were originally made for emergency news, and they had another graphic for the less-emergency cases.

During the invasion of Iraq I actually wrote an email to Fox to complain about the ridiculous, redundant news alerts. While I was writing the email, there were THREE MORE alerts.
