source

just so everyone knows i cut this up a bit. i tried to make it obvious with the periods. if you want the whole thing click on the source link.

...Norvell is London bureau chief for Fox News, and on May 20 he let the mask slip in, of all places, the Wall Street Journal...Here is what Norvell fessed up to in the May 20 Wall Street Journal Europe:

Even we at Fox News manage to get some lefties on the air occasionally, and often let them finish their sentences before we club them to death and feed the scraps to Karl Rove and Bill O'Reilly. And those who hate us can take solace in the fact that they aren't subsidizing Bill's bombast; we payers of the BBC license fee don't enjoy that peace of mind.

Fox News is, after all, a private channel and our presenters are quite open about where they stand on particular stories. That's our appeal. People watch us because they know what they are getting. The Beeb's institutionalized leftism would be easier to tolerate if the corporation was a little more honest about it.

ive finally been able to see some of fox news, being at home where we have satellite since its a digital only channel in canada. in my limited viewing thus far, i have noticed that they can be a little biased, but i still appreciate their approach to news, which is definately more entertaining than cnn or the canadian alternatives of newsworld or ctv newsnet, although i certainly tire of the quite blatent pro-americanism of both fox news and cnn, specifically in their editorial segments, referring to bill o'reilly and probably the biggest offender, lou dobbs.

To what extent do you think the wink and open nod to the Fox News viewership not only strengthens the esteem of its target market, but also further rankles those media personalities and pundits with contrasting political opinions?

i think most people are too stupid to figure it out, they just like how they cover the news.

CBC did an amazing documentary reguarding the American Media.

it was great!

They show this place in Washington, which is a massive think thank for Conservativism and these people all day long scan ALL media outlets in America for that "leftist" idea, and any anti-conservative remarks and they jump all over it and flood the media outlets with come-backs.
