If I wanted, I could watch FOX News everyday and find not only the neo-Con bias that each of their "journalists" spew every second of air time, but also purposefully twisted facts to serve their overall cause.
Below is a video from Keith Olbermann's Countdown on MSNBC. A fellow Faux News hater, Olbermann brings to light a blatant lie told by our good friend and "culture warrior" Bill O'Reilly. Keep in mind afterward that people watch him to learn things.
Cheers

I have spent a fair bit of my own summer watching clips from FOX (which of course always just get me angry). It's a sad thing when you see and hear what an American "news" medium puts out and your first reaction is amazement, but then you realize that you really aren't surprised, that it was just habit to be shocked.
It's even sadder when you remember, as you mentioned, that a good many people actually think that they are getting "fair and balanced."
What it makes me think about is all the judgemental hate we have for other countries and their propogandist style of media and news coverage. What are we doing here if not the same thing? I guess the only difference is that we're doing it, not them.
