That's great! I think I'll print this and post it on the bulletin board at work!

Seriously, though, bringing up Fox doesn't make CNN unbiased any more than bringing up Ari Fleischer makes George Stephanopolous unbiased. Everyone has a bias. Denying that the (vast) majority of mainstream journalists, editors, and reporters hold liberal viewpoints contradicts their own statements. Denying that one's viewpoints color one's reporting is overly optimistic. Overlooking liberal bias in the media while jumping all over Fox News for conservative bias is...umm...*searches for non-inflammatory words*...inconsistent.

(Wow! I think it's an entire post without a single inflammatory remark! Do I get a prize? )

Yeah your right lets go through the list of all those liberals in the media:

Sean Hannity - he's a progressive christian who likes to speak his mind.
Chris Matthews - he's a left leaning liberal
CNN Pundit Pat Buchanan - he's liberal because all those Jews in Florida voted for him.
MSNBC pundit Alan Keyes - he must be liberal because he's black
Bill O'Reilly - he's a left wing muckraker
Wolf Blitzer - he's a crypto leftist
Rob Novak - he's a champion of the poor
Tony Snow - always asks Republicans the tough questions
Tim Russert - Never lets Republicans off the hook
Brit Hume - always fair and balanced

EDIT: Oh yeah how could I forget:

Rush Limbaugh - the head of Extreme Left talk radio
