re: War against Fox News taken up a notch...

Two of my favorite mainstream news sources are Fox and NPR. Neither is quite as biased as some people suggest, imho.

NPR has aired many reports and features about Iraq, for instance, that truly have been very fair and balanced.

And on Fox, Bill O'Reilly has been genuinely critical of the Bush admin's use of apparently non-existent WMD to rally America for the invasion.

But the real issue here is, should this congressional group take on Fox for it's "slant," then by rights they should apply the same pressure to other, blatantly left-leaning news outlets, obliging them to be more objective in their reporting as well.

In any case, for the govt to press it's nose further into the affairs of private media is kind of a sickening prospect.
