FOX NEWS BIASED? JUST ASK FREDERICK OF HOLLYWOOD

>


There's a whole website, a really well-done one, dedicated to keeping count of Fox's activities as a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party and for the right-wing agenda, as well as cable TV's #1 purveyor of soft-core porn. And then Media Matters does a pretty phenomenal job keeping watch on Fox, it's biases and distortions as well.

But now we find even a right-winger, Fred Thompson (still running for president-- of the United States) complaining about how Fox talking heads consistently twist reality. And he did it on Fox.
In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace pressed Thompson on how some conservatives have lambasted Thompson's campaign and showed clips of Fox conservative commentators Charles Krauthammer and Fred Barnes criticizing the former senator.

Thompson said, "This has been a constant mantra of Fox, to tell you the truth." He noted that other conservatives have praised his bid for the GOP nomination and took issue with a Fox promo that focused on polling in New Hampshire, where Thompson is registering in the single digits.

He said he is running second in national polls and has been leading or tied for the lead in South Carolina for "a long, long time."

Thompson, in a firm, but measured tone, scolded Wallace: "...for you to highlight nothing but the negatives in terms of the polls and then put on your own guys who have been predicting for four months, really, that I couldn't do it, kind of skew things a little bit. There's a lot of other opinion out there."

Too bad faux journalist Chris Wallace didn't ask Thompson how he felt about the coverage Fox metes out daily to John Edwards, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
