8. They do have an interesting view of "bias"
The right sees Fox as fair and balanced, and sees any media which doesn't repeat their talking points as being biased against them.

They are also overly sensitive as they oppose any threats to their hold on power. The press should always keep those in power honest, rather acting as a Pravda-clone as Fox does.

They didn't call it bias when the media questioned if Bill Clinton lied when he claimed he did not have sex with Monica. Just as the press should have questioned Clinton's statements, they should question Bush's statements when they are contrary to fact. The fact that so many of Bush's statements are dishonest could give the appearance that those doing real journalism are biased against him, but that is the consequence of a governing style based upon deceipt.
