yah, like MSNBC is going to report stuff right down the middle lol

Nobody does. But they're more objective than some of the other news sources.
They also didn't fall for the "padded bra" hoax either.

TheRob seems not to have noticed that the primary and most obvious fault in Fox's reporting here is not political bias (though such a bias probably underlies their credulity toward the hoax) but a failure to make any investigation of the source.

Why should they bother to investigate a story when it already suits their ideological agenda?

Plus who's going to do that? They'd have to hire actual objective journalists to replace all their spinmeisters.

It would be much easier to replace "Fair and Balanced" with a new slogan: "Phox Phux Phacts"

But you know how it is for some of the conservatives on this board.
Any comment that critiques one thing that embraces their ideology is viewed as a full attack on their entire existence. God forbid that anyone says Fox News got their stories or their facts wrong, because apparently only libtards can't see that they're always right and never make mistakes. :rolleyes:
