...does Fox's record in TV news inspire much confidence. Local Fox newscasts often stress tabloid sensationalism, and Fox's best-known contribution to TV journalism is the now canceled magazine show A Current Affair. Fox News Sunday is an attempt to establish some mainstream credibility. Despite its bumpy start, the show has done that, eliciting a few newsmaking quotes in its first weeks from such guests as Republican National Committee chairman Haley Barbour.

Over eight days of crusading in Australia, Franklin Graham eventually posts an audience turnout to establish him in the ranks of the big-time preachers: 114,000 people, the largest numbers of his career. But the response in Sydney could actually be more significant. The crowds may be modest, but over three days, 1,555 out of 25,000 who attended have answered the invitation, coming forward to profess their relationship with the risen Christ. The actual ratio is 6.1%, a better record than Billy's over three previous Australian...
