FOX NEWS This piece from Scott Norvell is a pretty standard piece of selective BBC-kicking - he praises Biased BBC's watch on the "ideological slants" of the Corporation, although not pointing out they only look for a slant in one direction, but that's not to unexpected. What is fascinating is the following, bearing in mind that Scott is the London bureau chief of Fox News:
"Fox News is, after all, a private channel and our presenters are quite open about where they stand on particular stories. That's our appeal. People watch us because they know what they are getting."
But... isn't Fox News meant to be "fair and balanced"? Don't they keep repeating the mantra "We report... you decide"? Isn't the whole basis of Fox meant to be that it's a source of news free from the sort of taint you get in other reporting outlets - and yet, here's a senior employee of the station admitting that, actually, it's a one-sided ideofest after all.
