[LEMONS] 12.21.2001
I can't stand FoxNews. I utterly despise it. Not because it's right-wing. I really enjoy the Weekly Standard, a great magazine with a conservative bias. I dig Limbagh on occasions too, although I haven't heard him since he developed hearing problems. But the thing is, neither of those sources try to hide their bias. Everyone knows Lmbaugh is full of hot air. I don't think most people are foolish enough to take the bulk of what he says seriously. And The Weekly Standard practices incredibly responsible journalism, and makes no bones about its biases.
No so with FoxNews, and that's my issue. FoxNews is every bit as biased as Limbaugh, if not moreso. But that's not my problem with Fox. My problem is that a) Fox tends to play fast and loose with the truth a la Limbaugh and b) presents some of the most biased coverage available while c) presenting itself as fair and accurate.
Horseshit. And it's dangerous horseshit, because people in middle America don't realize that they are being sold a pack of lies.
Which is why I point out this report from FAIR: Fox-- The Most Biased Name in News. Admittedly, FAIR is equally biased in the other direction. But at least it has the nuts to call Fox out.
