What I object to is what appears to be a double standard among the New Right who, on one hand have been engaging in deliberate rhetorical efforts to marginalize, dismiss and otherwise undermine the credibility of anyone to their left by saying, among other things, that all the major media are biased while on the other hand screaming bloody murder when someone says out loud that Fox is, shall we say, somewhat less than balanced.

I think this is a case where "rhetorical efforts to marginalize" may be in the eye of the beholder. Though I don't dismiss the possibility, on the whole I think the liberal bias of the media is an extremely sincere article of belief among the New Right. Of course, claiming that Fox isn't biased is ridiculous (tho it always comes easier when their bias is your bias). I prefer Andrew Sullivan's position, which is: of course Fox is biased. Of course the NY Times is biased. Can we all just admit our biases here?
