The alibi Fox uses for its bias, and it's not really a bias, it's lying, is that the opinion shows are skewed, but the news portion is not. In other words, O'Reilly, Hannity, etc. are what they are, but Hume is respected and reports straight down the middle. I haven't found that to be even close to the truth. My favorite episode of Fox Fictional News was the Midday News Report when they celebrated clinking champagne glasses because the WMD had finally been found. It turned out to be a lie, just like the other dozen times they reported WMD had been found. I turned it off after that.
What I find reprehensible is how skewed, politically, their Saturday morning financial shows are. It's like when you order oatmeal and somebody has added jalapenos. Or, in the case of Fox, jalapenos wrapped in feces. |
