I don't ever want to hear how Faux News is "fair and balanced" and independent. As Media Matters points out about a recent edition of Fox News' Happening Now:

In purporting to "take a look back" at how the economic recovery plan "grew, and grew, and grew," Fox News' Jon Scott referenced seven dates, as on-screen graphics cited various news sources from those time periods -- all of which came directly from a Senate Republican Communications Center press release. A Fox News on-screen graphic even reproduced a typo contained in the Republican press release.

I'll nver buy into the conservative spiel that the mainstram media has a liberal slant, especially the way its hitting Obama (well maybe, it is more intelligent) -- if there were such a slant, it's unintentional. Unlike Faux News which makes no effort at all to disguise its bias.

Boycott Faux News Now

Democrats should just boycott Faux News. It is not a legitimate news station -- its people are not legitimate journalists. Watch this video in which the Faux News host threatens to turn off the microphone of the Obama advisor. The McCain advisor just sits there and arrogantly eats it up in the smug knowledge that her views will be supported.

It's pathetic. This is exactly the sort of "real debate" that conservatives rely on to spread their disingenuous views.

Fox News Racism

A different point of view from Your Black World. This is powerful.
