Faux News is looking for a more “sophisticated” audience on Facebook, instead of partnering with its sibling socnet, MySpace, according to The New York Times.
Facebook is “currently the leading social network” worldwide, said Joel Cheatwood, the senior vice president for development at Fox News. “They also have a user that’s a little older and a little more sophisticated.”
MSNBC and MySpace recently worked together on a contest to send two users to the national political conventions, so it’s not like MySpace is missing out.
Only 10 percent of socnet members regularly receive news through the sites.
I think I just vomited a little upon hearing this.
