The Champions of Bias Still in Denial
This, from The Razor, is a great overview of the nonsense, still believed by some, that media outlets are remotely objective. I found the part about Fox News to be similar to my own experiences with people who write off some very legitimate information (coming from FOX) because it came from the source they are told so often to avoid or despise. Indeed, as was noted in the linked essay, virtually every time someone posts a link to FOX NEWS on my Facebook page, someone "comments" back that the entire article is meaningless because it was originally a product of FOX. One has to remember that these are the same clowns who think conservatives stand for pushing old ladies down staircases.
The Oil For Food scandal by the United Nations was arguably the greatest expression - in monetary value - of corruption in World History and we probably wouldn't even know about it had it not been for FOX NEWS. It seems that almost every week a revelation is made by FOX of something of serious importance to America that other sources try to keep off the radar until the absurdity of their non-objectivity become too obvious.
To some, it is simply unacceptable that a major source of news has emerged that doesn't echo the "Progressive" party line. Nonsense.
