FOX News, Biased? Nah

Anyone who gets their news from ONE sole source will have a warped sense of the world. I stand by the statement firmly.

No matter if it's CNN, NY Times, MSNBC, The Drudge Report, National Review, The Daily Show, etc. It will fail to capture the nuances of opinions and angles of what is going on out there.

But if your sole source is FOX News, then you are just plain messed up.

I already posted here the video where a FOX News contributor jokes about taking out both Barack and Osama bin Laden "if we could" *chuckle chuckle*. Add to that this:

An alert reader wrote in just a little while ago to let us know about something he'd spotted on Fox News Wednesday afternoon. During a segment discussing conservative attacks against Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the network described the former as "Obama's baby mama."

I checked, and sure enough, as you can see below, our e-mailer was right. In fact, that description was displayed on screen several times during the segment, which featured anchor Megyn Kelly and conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, an FNC contributor.

Or this:

During the June 6 edition of Fox News' America's Pulse, host E.D. Hill teased an upcoming discussion by saying, "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently." In the ensuing discussion with Janine Driver -- whom Hill introduced as "a body language expert" -- Hill referred to the "Michelle and Barack Obama fist bump or fist pound," adding that "people call it all sorts of things." Hill went on to ask Driver: "Let's start with the Barack and Michelle Obama, because that's what most people are writing about -- the fist thump. Is that sort of a signal that young people get?" At no point during the discussion did Hill explain her earlier reference to "a terrorist fist jab."

It is funnier when you actually see it:



Hilarious!

Don't tell me about the fairness of one news outlet. All have their biases. But don't you dare call FOX News a NEWS outlet to begin with.

Therein lies the rub, as the old barb would say.
