Just a random rant: So my roommate is watching Fox News tonight, and I overhear some of the stories. One is on a YouTube break-up, in which a girl dumps her boyfriend, and the newscaster asks, “Is it real or not?” The other story was about the Hollywood Four, a group of girls who go to all the hot clubs in L.A. Wow. So Fox local news is idiotic and Fox cable news is bias. Good to know.

On another note, KCET’s Frontline is broadcasting a four-part program on journalism, its role today and how it has changed with technology, politics (i.e. the Libby trial), etc. I watched some of it last night, and it’s really great stuff!

Most news channels are biased...not just Fox.

I agree. Nothing can be completely objective because people decide what is covered and how it's covered, etc. But I mentioned Fox specifically because its newscasters are invited to Cheney's Christmas parties, hired to be the White House press secretary ... they're in bed with one another, and that makes their news especially bias.
