Alleged bias of Fox News
== Alleged bias of [[Fox News]] ==
I direct this to User Kazumaru, who questions my definition of Mainstream Media.
First, who does, and who does not, constitute Mainstream Media is strictly an historical definition only. It has nothing to do with popularity or share of viewership, audience, readership, or what have you. The key to the definition, as I have written, is the [[Fairness Doctrine]] and its repeal in 1987.
Second, ''if'' [[Fox News]] has a bias, then it is a bias in favor of describing the world as it actually exists, not the world that [[Katherine Graham]]'s A-list cocktail-party circuit wanted described while she was alive--and still do, even though she is no longer around to direct it.
Ask yourself, if you are willing to be intellectually honest: why did all the organs I named, say exactly the same thing, almost in the same words, about any event? How often did these organs disagree with one another?
I repeat: [[Fox News]] is not mainstream, never was, never will be, and clearly does not want to be.
I think you're problem is that [[Fox News]] is permitted to continue to exist.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 23:01, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
