• October 12 -- Still
Hunting Fox News
Frank Rich's latest "arts" column features an attack on Fox News
viewers: "If you limit your diet to Fox and its talk-radio and blogging
satellites, you may think that the only pressing non-Laci Peterson, non-Kobe,
non-hurricane stories are 'Rathergate' and the antics of the Swift Boat Veterans
for Truth."

-- Tommy
Franks' Book Sounds "Scripted By Fox News"

Another Anti-Republican Art Project

for anti-Republican art.

Republicans
The Times claims Republicans are "Fox's natural
constituency."
• July 21 -- And "Some Say" the
NYT Is Liberal Propaganda
A.O. Scott likes "Outfoxed," the new anti-Fox News documentary: "There is also an amusing, appalling dissection of the way Fox uses the phrase 'some say,' as in 'some say Senator Kerry has a tendency to flip-flop,' not to cloak a source but to camouflage a statement of opinion." Scott also seems to consider Bill O'Reilly the second coming of Joe McCarthy.

Commission, Times TV critic Alessandra Stanley singles out Fox News as
“conservative” and “considerably more sanguine” about the White House
occupants.

from Baghdad’s airport, Fox’s Brit Hume wondered if he’d read it in the Times.
• April 8 --
Rupert Murdoch,
"Stridently Hawkish" Media Mogul

judging by David Kirkpatrick's profile of Murdoch's "conservative" media empire.
