Today I came across a television that was showing a certain news station, Fox News. Now, while I do accept the fact that all news stations have their own bias, noticeably along party lines, but at least most stations have the good taste to try and hide theirs. Fox News seems funded solely by the Republican Party, it's bias is so strong and so obvious. They use the world "liberal" freely and treat it like one would use the term "Nazi". Seriously, Fox, can't you learn to be at least a little tactful? Journalists are supposed to be neutral parties that work on the part of the public to factually report news, not to be puppets of a party (liberal or conservative, mind you). And, of course, Obama, our resident lame duck, is a mixture of Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini according to Fox News. As I've said before, the president has no real power. So lay off and focus on people who actually are able to change the country (many of whom are conservatives... don't want to get too close to your fanbase?) and able to make a difference. Or at least learn to pretend you're real journalists, like all the other stations do.
Love,
Grimm
