Looks that way to me, considering I just made this post...

MSNBC is the real left leaning one. CNN is closer to center.

So Glenn Beck (I think he is crazy) made a factual statement when he said that Fox News was the only conservative news media outlet.

Yeah I know that. Like I said, it's nice to see them finally acknowledge that the "fair and balanced" mantra was a lie.

There's a huge difference between covering an event and promoting one. Fox used ad inventory to promote the tea parties. They ran banner ads on various conservative websites. And they obviously had their hosts promote it on-air. They are just as guilty as Dick Armey for promoting a movement based on paranoia and bumper stickers.

Here's a hint - in opinion programming, people are paid to go on the air and express their opinions...
Sorry, but don't think it will ever happen.
