Several strikes for this article:

1) focuses on the commentators. It is not the duty of a news organization to have its opinions balanced. Plus, Fox just offers both sides when it comes to commentary. Yep, lots of liberals. So?
2) Nonsense on illegal immigration not worth commenting.
3) Fox News is fair and balanced in its news coverage. I disagree it just looks like every other network in terms of how stories are presented.

Now, the piece does make some good points about presenting different angles on stories than everybody else (the war on terror, for example).

But, Fox is certainly not too fair and balanced in its news coverage (not that that is even possible). It is a perfect medium between taking the left and the right's side.

Oops....I missed this one.

Strike 4 against the article:

4) "Unless it wants to follow suit, Fox News will wise up and stop worrying about being "fair and balanced.'"

Disturbing comment. It shows this woman really wants a conservatively biased network, not a fair and balanced network.

Fox is fair and balanced. If you want bias, you should not be looking for a news network, as journalism is not supposed to be biased either way.
