take me for example. I had no idea about any bias, or that "it's cool to say Fox is biased", or "the folks at digg say that Fox is biased", or anything like that. I simply drew my own conclusions based on what I saw, what I experienced.
And I have to say, that shithole of "news" channel is 100% biased

Opinion is a good thing to have, but opinion expressed on mass media in such a controlled way will distort views (G. Orwell, 1984)
(specially when it is billed as "true and accurate facts", and "fair and balanced")
It can also affect judgement and choice of weaker minds pretty easily
And the US of A is full of weaker minds, who all have a right to express their judgement and choice
And right now is too critical of a time to allow this to fuck up the country even more (short & long run)

yeah, sure, right after Fox News made sure it was
Their modus operandi: make it look as if Obama said & meant whatever Wright said
And then make it look like McCain is the good boy, visiting countries and talking to world leaders, and "keeping the armed forces in Iraq for 100 more years if necessary (crowd cheers)".
dude, they went as far as inviting a "truthologist" or whatever to give her "expert" opinion and say he was lying during his speech (same way they invited "experts" in on the Mass Effect issue)
What scares me even more is that people actually believe this crap
