I read with some amusement Pam Meister’s post at Blogmeister USA<\/a> that some pointy-headed types discovered that Fox News Channel is indeed fair and balanced in their political coverage – what the political Right has been saying for years;<\/p>\n

Fox News Channel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s coverage was more balanced toward both parties than the broadcast networks were. On FOX, evaluations of all Democratic candidates combined were split almost evenly \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 51% positive vs. 49% negative, as were all evaluations of GOP candidates \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 49% positive vs. 51% negative, producing a perfectly balanced 50-50 split for all candidates of both parties.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But then, while tooling around, I read at DUmmie FUnnies<\/a> that individual Leftist news-nazis are going around demanding that Fox News broadcasts be removed from the private business they frequent. So just by using my limited understanding of statistics and math, I gotta figure that the Left doesn’t want “balance” – they want complete, unquestioned dominance of the media. I guess it’s just too bad for the Left that a majority of Americans don’t feel the same way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
