[Vision2020] NYTimes: The Big Hate

[Joe Campbell]

Paul,

And what does this have to do with anything I've said? You're  
obviously reading something into my post that I did not say.

Fox news is a disgusting example of bias, different in degree from any  
other news organization, IMO. That you would follow Tom's post with  
some claim that "Everyone does it" strikes me as irresponsible since  
it just muddys the water. Not every organization is biased in the way  
Fox is. Someone needed to point that out and I did so. That is all  
there is to it. I made no comments about conservative news  
organizations in general, just the one bad apple.
