Fox Fires Intern for Revealing the Bias We All Know They Have
Fox News, or as I prefer to call it, Faux News, fired an intern for revealing the bias we all have toward the GOP. As MSNBC's Don Abrams said, she apparently did not get the memo that said that on Faux News, "you are supposed to pretend you are fair and balanced."
The production assistant, identified as Jennifer Locke, was on assignment with a camera crew to cover the Time 100 Party.
Locke: "John McCain, Fox News."But why fire her? For being honest about they way they all really feel? I've often wondered if everyone at Fox News is as far right as they portray themselves, or if some fake and for their career's sake and feel bad about it off-camera.
McCain: "Fox News, I'm always glad to talk to Fox News."
Locke: "I voted for you in the primary."
McCain: "Thank you very much, you're not supposed to reveal that."
Locke: "You're gonna win."
McCain: "Thank you, thank you."
Adds MSNBC's Don Abrams, "When you work at a place that’s clearly partisan, they should at least make sure that their younger staff get the memo about feigning objectivity."

No ya bonehead, because the first thing you learn in journalism is to never broadcast your personal beliefs, otherwise you become a commentator, not a reporter.
Memo to Oberidiot and Matthews, you're commentators. Abrams is simply a non-sequitor.
Send this one in your next email:

"Fox News, or as I prefer to call it, Faux News, fired an intern for revealing the bias we all have toward the GOP."
Yeah. I'll bet you call CNN, MSNBC, NPR and the major 3 "credible".
Your selective indignation is typical.
What's the point of this post and that ridiculous video? That Fox news doesn't pretend as well as CNBC or CNN to be non-partisan. That they are upholding their journalistic standards by firing someone whose behavior wasn't appropriate? Your self righteous indignation is ludicrous. To single out Fox news as pretending to be "fair and balanced" while you insinuate that the other networks are objective is the epitome of hypocrisy.
