"Except that few would agree that fairness is a virtue of O'Reilly or Fox News."

I love these cute throwaways. "We all know fox is biased and unfair, of course." Uh, no, *we* don't.

One of the things that continues to astonish me about the Left is their nearly total lack of a sense of introspection.

To wit: If Fox News causes an pro-Republican effect--what is, and has been, the effect of the "Alphabet" networks and the rest of the Establishment Press?

FWIW, there was a study (UCLA I think) that showed that Fox is actually very centrist-- based upon the think tank sources cited by FNC for news stories. The study compared the ACU and ADA ratings of Congress critters--and then examined the speeches for references.

But again, even if you accept the theory that FNC is biased to the right-- what does it mean if you also acknowledge that the rest of the MSM leans heavily to the left?

LOL Someone on FNC pointed out that the Fox bashers don't watch FNC and think that the whole day is BOR and Sean Hannity.

David Letterman admitted the other day to BOR that he doesn't know how to find Fox News, and yet he is a big basher.

How big is O'Reilly's audience? 2 million.

Is it possible that we conservatives can think for ourselves?
