Conservatives/media
Just had a random thought after overhearing someone talking about FOX News and how it's OK that it's biased toward a conservative point of view because it's just "balancing things out."
This is, of course, one of the company lines. That FOX is doing exactly that which the so-called "liberal networks" do, which is a load of braindead bull.
But here is the aforementioned random thought: isn't the right-wing logic when it comes to journalism (bias is OK, as long as it's balancing other bias) not unlike the logic they trash when it comes to, say, affirmative action?
Fox is just "righting past wrongs," after all!
