There was big news at the American Magazine Conference last week when
former White House press secretary Tony Snow revealed this disturbing
piece of information:

"I will tell you there are fairness problems with the press."
Wait... don't tell me... the press is too liberal, right?
Gee, how did I guess.
But that's not all - according to Tony, in the desolate land of
liberal media lies, there's one shining beacon of truth-telling.
Said he, "The rap on Fox having bias is an unfair one."
That's odd - I could have sworn Tony wasn't so fair and balanced when
he worked for Fox News.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that he was such a partisan tool, the White
House called him up and said, "Hey, how would you like to go out and
officially make **** up for the president?" and he said "When do I
start?!?!"
But let's place the blame where it's due.
Fox News vice president Brian Wilson (no, not the Brian Wilson)
revealed the shocking truth about Fox during a speech at Texas Tech
last week:

Wilson said he believes the reason Fox often receives criticism for
being biased is because of the opinions of Fox hosts like Bill
O'Reilly.
"Bill O'Reilly is not a journalist; it is an opinion-based program,"
he said.
"I think we get unfairly smeared because of Bill O'Reilly, and it has
a huge following. I don't agree with half of what he says, but that is
what characterizes Fox News."
Oh, I get it - it's not Fox News that's biased, it's just all the
programs they show on Fox News.
Funny how that works.
