Guess what big political news story the Fox News Channel (not the website) totally ignored?
Can you guess? It’s this.
I’ve often disputed charges that Fox News was really nothing more than a propaganda network since it does have some good news gathering professionals working for it. But this omission most assuredly lays credence to the belief that far from being fair and balanced it is biased and slanted.
If the same exact story had emerged but the person involved had been Howard Dean do you think it might have gotten a second or two on Fox?
We don’t need to put in a link for that answer, do we?
