Fox News Whines about NBC's "Bias" — POT, MEET KETTLE
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/

FOXNews.com Posts NBC "Bias Alert"

Fox News is taking Bill O'Reilly's campaign against "NBC's turn to the far left" to FOXNews.com. The number three story on the home page this afternoon says: "Bias Alert: Which NBC Biggie Said, 'Cheney ... Always Wants to Kill'?"

The subhead offers five options, conveniently tying several NBC stars and execs to the quote: "Was it NBC's Brian Williams, Chris Matthews, David Gregory, Jeff Zucker or Bob Wright?"

If you guessed Chris Matthews, you're right. Clicking on the story presents the answer, plus video from last night's Factor.

O'Reilly called Matthews' statement "unbelieveable." I think this "bias alert" being the #3 story on FOXNews.com is unbelieveable..

2. This feud has been fun to watch.
Scarborough has had some great rants about O'Reilly. and of course the Keith-BillO thing never gets old!

I keep wondering what kind of society I'm living in -- that *NBC* is the far left. Eek.

6. To these freaks, news that doesn't resemble a Leni Riefenstahl film
is far-left "propaganda."

Any news network whose pundits and reporters ask the president relevant questions instead of kissing his ass is "liberal."

Any network that sticks to the facts and isn't afraid to show the public the harsh realities of the Iraq war is "pro-terrorist."

Any network that points out obvious flaws in the Bush administration's domestic and foreign policies is "anti-American."

This is why right wingers need to push their "liberal media" BS, because it's the only trick they have left.

7. If Fox doesn't like it, they should start calling for a Fairness Doctrine legislation reinstatement
and update.

Put up or shut up.
