maher takes a fair and balanced look at fox
Bill Maher takes a humorous look at FOX's 'fair and balanced' debate coverage [streaming Quicktime]. I watched this five times, and each time it was a little less funny when I realized that there are people in this country that actually have the perspective that Maher is parodying. So only watch it once...

They've argued successfully in court that as a news organization they have no legal responsibility to report the truth. They speak to the least common denominator... and you apparently hear the call.
There is *nothing* American or democratic about blindly following the president... but then again the rules have changed a bit since they've so successfully dismantled the Constitution and consolidated power in the executive branch.
Liberal media? There's only been a liberal side to the media for about 4 years now. Prior to that there were maybe Penthouse and Mad Magazine, and I don't think either of them posed a real threat to an informed society.
Of course, as you've so capably proven, we not only do not have an informed society, we have a society that will fiercely defend it's ignorance. This is nothing to be proud of.
