Fox is definitely biased

The joke of its slogan is it's the tacit catchphrase of the other "unbiased" networks. For example, I can remember once Peter Jennings at the conclusion of some story about President Bush grimacing slightly and then saying, "Well, he's still our president", as though he was speaking for all Americans when expressing his apparent disapproval. Who the hell does a news anchor think he is saying something like that? What presumption. Maybe that kind of sentiment represented the typical groupthink of the ABC newsroom and he felt it would resonate with the audience just as well?

Oh, Bowser, here's a nice bone for you to chew on a while: Fox also refusedto air some ads from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that CNN and MSNBC had no objections to.
