Fact-Checking Site Finds Fox News Only Tells the Truth 18 Percent of the Time
"For liberals, it’s not exactly “breaking news” to find out that Fox News is mostly comprised of misinformation or flat-out lies. Anyone with even a shred of common sense can watch just a handful of their featured shows and see that the entire channel is nothing more than a propaganda mechanism for the Republican party."
Starting off with the disclaimer that this is of course the spin of an opinion-heavy progressive website, and that in fact no major media is immune to being used as a partisan tool by the political establishment, it's notable that FOX has evidently taken it upon itself to counter the entire remaining fauna of "the lamestream media" by using its own methods against it, and "balancing it out", by means of being as unfair and imbalanced as all liberal media combined. And that, while having the pretense of being "Fair & Balanced"(TM). Apparently, these two words mean something completely different in the FOX vocabulary (if there were any such thing), from what their actual established meaning is.
Hardly a shock for anybody, is it...
