A few days later they will run an op-ed or political cartoon that doesn't favor the democrats. The next day the letters-to-the-editor will be full of comments from democrats complaining and/or republicans agreeing.
Now, notice I didn't say the op-eds or cartoons were biased one way or the other. They may have been right on the money, but it just wasn't what one side or the other wanted to hear. Go figure..LOL |
There is nothing wrong with a news organization having an editorial/opinion page/program and clearly identify thier editorial and opinion as just that. OK as long as they do not let it slant thier hard news reporting. Everyone wants to judge FOX on the basis of Hannity and O'Rielly. Yes both are opinionated, and they are quite clear about it. FOX also has very good hard news. What gets the left is that it is not slanted to the left ala CNN or CBS or Newsweek or other left leaning media who DO let thier editorializing slip into thier methods of reporting the news (Memogate for example). FOX has plenty of liberal commentators and host who get to state thier opinions on balance with the conservatives. Certainly more than the opposite on the other media.
