If Bush is a screw up, then his news will be of his screw ups. So if Fox doesn't call him out on his screw ups, then they are reporting biased news.
I'll laugh at Obama's mistakes along with everyone else. You've just been so used to having a fuck up president getting bad press for the better part of a decade that you think the whole media is out to get conservatives and that there is a liberal conspiracy behind everything you read in the NYT.
Incorrect. Journalists are supposed to report the facts, not editorialize. A long lost tenet of journalism, but a tenet nonetheless.
Some of you should actually take a course in journalism. I spent 4 years in it in school back in my liberal hippy days. You're led to the conclusion the reporting agency wants you to come to by the hand from the first word. That's ANY news reporting agency that exists. It also happens to be one of the main reasons I did not pursue journalism as a career. It's all agenda-driven and IMO dishonest, and in my youthful idealistic days I could not reconcile making a living that way with my personal belief that people should be told the facts without leading them to a predetermined conclusion.
In that regard, you can say ALL journalism is dishonest, and that's fine. But Fox has no exclusive monopoly on it. When I compare what they report to what CNN reports, by and large, it's pretty-much the same.
If I want the actual facts on an issue, I will read articles on the topic from as many different sources as I can and pick out the common denominators. They are usually the actual facts.
