These brainless attacks on Fox have got to stop. What’s with this Democrat who wrote this article? Can’t he respect another opinion? Can he possibly be anything else but a Democrat and liberal who voted for Obama? So why should I take him seriously?

All of the other so-called “news” programs reflect a liberal bias. Why is Fox the only bad actor in the whole bunch?

Last week, when White House communications director Anita Dunn charged the Fox News Channel with right-wing bias, Fox responded the way it always does. It denied the accusation with a straight face while proceeding to confirm it with its coverage.

Monopoly Associated Press journalism is not independent, precisely because it is associated. Within the association, you have protection - but you also have to do some protecting yourself. You are protected from attacks on your credibility - your objectivity - but you also have to protect everyone else in the association the same way. So if a Dan Rather comes out with a cock-and-bull story about poor-quality "copies of Texas Air National Guard Memos" which supposedly were created in the 1970s and somehow only surfaced in 2004 during a G.W. Bush's last of 4 high-profile elections - and with fancy typeset qualities not found in the simple typewriters of the 1970s - you as a member of the association are obligated to abstain from pointing out the absurdity, but rather to facilitate the stonewalling of the damning evidence against a fellow member of the association.

In the association, you are entitled and expected to promote your own objectivity - the fact that claiming your own objectivity is inherently subjective notwithstanding.
