A myth in the unmaking

Fox News's status as a politically impartial channel is at last being exposed as a fiction

Like many opinion pieces, weak on sources. But the facts match what I have seen. Could use more caution regarding Judith Regan testimony. Fails to name "a now deceased investigator". I like the writing.

An opinion piece - the author, a self-identified liberal columnist - is up front about his own point of view, and he bashes Fox News as blatantly partisan while pretending to be "fair and balanced." Ho hum. The shocker, however, is real news - a high-level employee of Fox News, Judith Regan, asserts that she was pressured by her superiors at Fox to commit perjury to federal officials investigating her boyfriend, Bernard Kerick, who is joined at the hip with Rudy Giuliani.

While I don't hold an opinion piece piece to the fairness standards of regular journalism, I was tickled by the comment that he makes no pretense to being non-partisan.

Liberal crap. complaining about how Fox News is unfair to Dumbycrats. the same people who plant questions by their own operatives in their debates on the CNN (Changing News Network). If Fox News is a "mouth piece for the Republican Party", CNN is the equivalent for the Democrat Party. Anything written by the Guardian is not news.. but at best a hatchet job on Republicans and their supports or a puff piece on the Dems.
