Fox News: Enraging Liberals for 10 Years

FOX NEWS: ENRAGING LIBERALS FOR 10 YEARS
[SOURCE: Los Angeles Times, AUTHOR: Brian C. Anderson, City Journal]
[Commentary] Fox News is the news media success story of the last decade. Liberals aren't celebrating the channel's birthday, though. "When a news outlet is allowed to blur the lines between opinion and journalism and call it 'fair and balanced,' I think it's confusing to consumers of information in this country, and it's dangerous to democracy," said official at Common Cause. Nothing would please liberals more than to drag the nation back to the days when the New York Times and CBS News determined what was newsworthy. A group of congressional Democrats has warned Fox to end its supposed anti-Democratic bias -- or else. Should Democrats retake Congress, an effort to shut down, or at least muzzle, Fox, is far from inconceivable, creepy and illiberal as that sounds. Something Fox News doubtless is keeping in mind as it pops the champagne corks this week.
