“Fox News is morphing into just another liberal leaning voice.”

But accusing Fox News of pro-establishment bias is not simply a quirk of the Gingrich mind. In mid-March, Rick Santorum (like Gingrich, a former Fox News contributor) accused the network of boosting for Romney. “He has Fox News shilling for him every day,” Santorum grumbled to Fox News Radio host Brian Kilmeade. “No offense, Brian, but I see it.” The conservative journalist Robert Stacy McCain called out Fox for “a clear bias toward front-runners.” He was backed up by a pair of columnists who reported concerns “that Fox News is morphing into just another liberal leaning voice.”

People with full metal jackets ready for rubber rooms talking about Fox news, Communists and friends, O'reilly, Hannity and Beck being liberal? Where do I duck?

they call anyone they disagree with the catch buzz words and try to bully them into agreement. Isn't it natural that elements on the right but not aligned with fox news would eventually use the same tactics fox has used for years against them.
