The laughable part is the concept that Fox News is so right wing, while all the others have no agenda whatsoever. I try to be objective and I do not see a right wing bias at Fox News. I see a very successful experiment in presenting the news without the liberal slant of ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, Wahington Post, NY Times, etc. What I do detest is:

- CNN being run by Clinton's right hand man. No bias there!

- Washington Post and Newsweek being run by Senator Graham's family. No bias there!

- Every time a Democrat gets in trouble they trot them out on NBC Today show and adoringly ask them to correct what is obviously a political, partisan attack by the VRWC. No bias there!

- Time/Life/Warner/AOL being run by Ted Turner and other liberals who dominate print, broadcast, cable, on-line, and entertainment media and then run to congressional committees and warn that Rupert Murdoch shouldn't be allowed to own this or that because it will allow no differing point of view. Or shutting out Fox News Channel from its cable outlets for years because "there weren't any channel slots available". No bias there!

What Mr Felton might care to explain, but does do so in his article, is why has Fox News been so succesful in taking media share from all the other channels, cable news and network alike.

The fact is Fox provided an alternative to all the others that the public liked. They recognised that there was another point of view that was different from the left wing chorus from the networks. Add to that, the internet has unfettered the masses from the mind control of the networks and the left, like Mr Felton, are apoplectic at the loss of control that they once exerted.

Anyone who reads Coulter or Goldberg's books will quickly realise that people like Mr Felton are delusional.

On Fox News being so "rightwing," how many threads pop up complaining about some commentator putting a liberal spin on the news.

The nice thing about Fox is that they present both sides without making either side appear ridiculous (unless the left argument is so outfield), as the rest of the networks have done to the "right" side of an argument for far too many years.
