"Be On The Lookout For Any Statements From The Iraqi Insurgents...Thrilled At The Prospect Of A Dem Controlled Congress"... (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-geiger/fox-news-they-distort-w_b_34251.html)
From a memo written by a Fox News executive.

So lets not talk about Fox being unbiased or less biased, k?

Who says they are unbiased or less biased?

Much less, give me a single name of any person who would believe the person from question number 1.

Funny stuff. A very biased media outlet ranting about how another media outlet is too biased.

It is funny.

You have one outlet vs (at least) five major media outlets. Not including broadcast, three there.

And it is they who are complaining about balance.

O'Reilly is always crowing about how he, and Fox, whipped Ted Turner and made him eat humble pie(which they did). But if his network had 4 more ideologically similar networks to compete against too, I doubt he would much to crow about.

Well, they are media of course. Just not normally associated, yet, with The Media.

I was speaking of CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and CBS mostly.

I am sure that any unbiased observer would conclude that they are predominately Liberal in their bias.

While I am quite sure that those who work at those networks will go to their graves saying that they are moderate and unbiased.

Yes, but CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, NBC, etc etc etc never had "Fair and Balanced" as their motto...
