Members TampaYankee Posted December 19, 2010 Members Posted December 19, 2010 For those who haven't seen the story and Fox's lame 'shoot the messenger' response to it, here is the link. I won't waste space here with the details. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/17/fox-news-viewers-are-the-_n_798146.html This is hardly news for anyone with a nonvanishing IQ who follows the media spectrum of venues and viewpoints. What I am curious about is how much of the mainstream mediat covered this story? I haven't seen it elsewhere, not that I have searched. But I am curious because of the failure of the mainstream media to embrace previous charges of slanted Fox News coverage. Now that a mainstream American university study has found the same result, has it been acknowledged or refuted by any factual reporting from third parties? Is there some unwritten law that only Olbermann can call a spade a spade? Quote

See story and video at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/18/shepard-smith-911-first-responders-bill_n_798625.html Shep is the only person worth watching on Fox if you want the unvarnished truth and frankness. He also finds it hard to stomach quietly some of Fox's slanted overreaches, as demonstrated through comments from time to time, although he has been circumspect in pointing them out as circumstances would require. Both Ailes and Murdoch know that he is the only fig leaf that Fox has in its pretense of 'fair and balanced'. Quote
