#3 Nope, nope, nope....There's regular people, then there's them conservatives. The press, as we all know, is one of the regular folks - jes' folks - so anyone who disagrees must be wonna dem right-wing rascals.

#4 %80 of the political donations from Murdoc and FoxNews & its employees go to the Democratic Party!

So, yes they are biased.

#6 The classic line from Serial comes to mind:

"In an insane society, the sane man must appear insane."

I dare say it explains quite a bit these days.

#9 :-) It is all about who gets to define conventional wisdom and thus define what lies outside of that bubble.

I look forward to the ~~putsch~~ return of sanity to the media machine.

#10 3dc - But since 95-100% of similar contributions from the other MSM outlets go to the Democrats Fox is biased Republican at only 80% Democrat. The 'norm' is 95-100%, so by definition anything less is biased. (BTW, I read that article too somewhere, but couldn't find it again to comment here - where was it?)

#11 The folks I see on Fox have a pretty varied outlook. Anyone who thinks that Shephard Smith is a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has a truly twisted outlook. What I do see on the Fox segments that I routinely watch is a lack of anti-Bush vitriol. Maybe that makes Chris Wallace a Neo-Con to a reader of the Daily Kos, but I bet if you asked him you would find that Chris probably thinks that government ought to solve peoples' problems. He is certainly not a conservative, but because he acts and asks rationally, he gets a conservative tag from folks that think Chris Matthews is a centrist.
