Ad Orientem: Media Bias? What Media Bias?

Monday, September 08, 2008

When the New York Times(!) calls you out for leftward slanted news coverage you know the game is up.

Anonymous said...: Now it's FOX's turn to do the same with Bill O and Hannity.

In that decision NBC (intentionally or unintentionally) advance the virtue of tolerance.

I have NOT found real tolerance on NBC or FOX but I did find this jewel from:

"Since we cannot be perfect, and since virtue cannot be forced on people but is rather a habit of life they must themselves strive to acquire, we were enjoined to tolerate the shortcomings of others, even as we struggled with our own.

Bill O and Sean Hannity are not and have never been anchors at Fox. They have opinion oriented news programs. I don't agree with Keith Olbermann's politics. But his show "Countdown" has never made any claim to being a balanced news program. It's opinion oriented. I DO have issues with someone like Mr. Olbermann anchoring election night news coverage. He is a man who is clearly not able to divorce his own political biases from his reporting and commentary.

For the record there have been times where I think FOX has crossed the line too. But at least they did not put an ideologue in the anchor's chair on election night.
