Appearing on CNN's "Reliable Sources" on Sunday Morning, Huffington Post national editor Nico Pitney debated the White House "campaign" against Fox News. Pitney said:"If the Republican National Committee had a television network, how would it be any different? And Fox admits it. [...]Jane Hall, a contributor to Fox News for over a decade, while saying isolating the network was a bad idea, and that Fox has both news and commentators (like O'Reilly and Hannity), freely admitted that Media Matters had exposed, via a video montage, that Fox News (or Faux News) had campaigned to paint President Obama as a socialist, racist, a communist, and that was both on news shows and commentary shows.
The senior vice-president of programming, say in an interview that Fox News is the voice of the opposition. They parade as objective journalists, and some of them do good journalism, but by and large, the network is a 24-hour campaign against the Obama administration."
The problem is that there are many who don't do any vetting, simply watch Fox News, and take commentary as real news.

Sounds like more left wing whining to me. NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN have any of them done anything other than be cheerleaders for Obama, even before he became president. The new is suppose to present both sides of the news. Let's be real, CNN fact checked a SNL comdey skit, and you claim they are a "news" organization.
Doesn't anyone think that the accusation of media bias would come with greater wieght if it came from someone who didn't work for The Huffington Post?
"Your right wing bias is evil, but my leftwing bias is ok."
Yeah, that makes sense.
Our press hasnt been free since we allowed a handful of corporations to control almost everything we see hear and read.
