Fox News BIAS ALERT: (LOL)

#2: Pounding Romney With Partisan Fact Checking:

Writing in the New York Times August 31, correspondent Jackie Calmes scolded that “the number of falsehoods and misleading statements from the Romney campaign coming in for independent criticism has reached a level not typically seen.” That’s not true, either; Romney’s team was, at worst, guilty of highlighting those facts that best illustrated their points (something done by all politicians), and the Obama campaign certainly put out their share of tawdry TV ads and dubious campaign claims.

But with “truth cops” who mainly policed just the GOP side of the street, the media used “fact-checking” as another club to tilt the playing field in favor of the Democrats.


They have learned NOTHING. And I am not surprised.

...that was sitting on a foundation of bullshit, atop a mountain of elephant shit.

But it was "bias" to tepidly note the unpleasant odor about the campaign.

as long as they are out of power they're just gnats in the summer heat. Best avoided if possible and otherwise ignored.
