The WaPo does a piece on the New Media without mentioning Fox News, a cable outlet that spurs the righteous right to fight the good fight.
Fox does the old college try at getting both sides of the story. O'Reilly may be overbearing, but he does give the last word to his guest. His book Culture Warrior raises valid points on how the secular-progressives try to dominate the marketplace of ideas by eliminating alternate POVs. There is an MSM/Academicide/Hollyweird cabal advancing an agenda which tries to ban "hate speech" and with McCain-Feingold, control talk radio as paid political announcements---two worrisome edge-of-the-wedge rollbacks of the First Amendment. Fox also is honest on the immigration issue, something the corporate Repubs at the WSJ or in the White House are not.
And last and foremost, Fox does not suffer from BDS and the Hate-America Syndrome. And is not buffaloed into bogus science like the O'Brien twins on CNN, par exemple.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
