"Fox News wouldn't exist if it weren't for this kind of stuff going on in the mainstream media," he told Carr. "That's why people are fed up with that and want the antidote to it because they get it and they've gotten it for years - the so-called bias in the objective press."



Holy @#$%...I'm amazed.

Thanks for posting this, AB.

the so-called bias in the objective press.
The perspective in tendentious journalism.

By "tendentious journalism" I mean anyone who claims to report objectively. Such a claim is inherently tendentious since the problem of story selection (what report to feature, what reports to publish, and what reports to ignore) reveals the fact that objectivity is impossible in principle.

And IMO Fox News has given in WAY TOO MUCH to the constant criticism of the left in what they do.

I used to tune in for an oasis from the left-wing bombardment that rains down not just from news sources, but every form of media right down to sitcom drivel. Anymore their efforts to bend over backwards to appease the left (which can only be achieved through COMPLETE surrender to their Brave New World political correctness) has me tuning in far less.
