Rupert Murdoch has claimed his Fox News channel is not biased in favour of George Bush and that News Corporation, his global media empire, is a "fair and balanced" company.
Speaking at the company's annual general meeting in Adelaide, Mr Murdoch insisted Fox News' reporting was more balanced than that of other US networks.

"It's full of Democrats and Republicans, the others only have Democrats. We don't take any position at all," Mr Murdoch said in response to a question about Fox's impartiality

4. And Satan is lacing up his skates. What an utter crock of shit. Faux

could not possibly BE more biased in favor of the Reich Wing than it already is. Hannity has his nose stuck so far up the Bush Tush all you can see is his toenails. O'Leilly is just as bad; one could go right through the list.
Colmes is a milquetoast moderate, at best, and has no balls.
That is hardly 'fair and balanced.'

6. And the repeated attempts to deflect criticism of "bias"

by pointing out the political affiliation of employees is beyond lame. The "reporters" don't determine the content or the slant. That is determined by ownership and editorial staff.

7. Bush commercials during World Series

I can't be the only one to have seen the blatant pro-Bush commercials during the Super Bowl.

There's a special place in Hell for Murdoch.

8. He knows Kerry's going to win...

and doesn't want his reporters' working space in the White House to end up in the Executive Office Building!!
