They do. All of the networks do to some degree, if nothing more than the
filtration of what content viewers see. "Sins of omission." No network is
free from s(p)in. Spin, by the way, is deliberate inaccuracy.

Fox NEWS tends to be more conservative, which is interesting because the Fox
network carries more liberal fare than the less conservative news networks
owned by more-liberal parent organizations.

It's very fascinating, but here's the deal: Ollie North. Nothing against
him, and I have an autographed photo that says "To Gatt: Semper Fi - Ollie"
He's a former Marine and admits his own bias. Okay? Who else appears
regularly on Fox, or is a Fox employee? I mean besides openly-conservative
radio hosts Sean Hannity AND Bill O'Reilly? Geraldo frickin' Rivera.
Kicked out of Afghanistan for drawing battle plans in the sand. Okay? Who
else? Mark FURHMAN, who blew one of the most viewed trials in world history
a major reason why OJ Simpson is a free man. Fox makes this guy out to be
an expert. He's a f'ck up. So is "Al Capone's Vault" Rivera.

I've heard Fox anchors refer to Iraqi noncombatants (the ones we're there to
"liberate") as "the bad guys."

No...wait a minute. Now I'M the one critical of the media and other people
are telling ME that the media is accurate.

Okeeeee....
