Fox's alternative world

The Fox "News" Network really does just try to create another world where President Bush is not facing the lowest approval ratings of his presidency and two-thirds of the country do not think our country is heading in the wrong direction. They do this by choosing to cover the side issues or making up issues instead of covering the real news. The "war" on Christmas comes to mind but here is a more recent example from the American Progress Action Fund:

MEDIA - FOX NEWS DEVOTING MORE AIR TIME TO MCKINNEY THAN NEW LIBBY REVELATIONS: An analysis from Media Matters for America found that on April 6, the day news broke about Bush's involvement in the leaking of classified Iraq intelligence, Fox News "devoted more than twice as much time discussing [Rep. Cynthia]McKinney's (D-GA) alleged altercation with the police officer." The organization's analysis found that from noon to 10 PM that day, the news channel spent 53 minutes discussing McKinney, but only 25 minutes on the Libby story. Also, "several shows - including Your World with Neil Cavuto and The O'Reilly Factor - did not report on Libby at all." One Fox host urged his co-host to "get back to the real issue here [McKinney]." Fox News Hounds also reported that Fox News kept up the story over the weekend because "there's no way that Fox will let this great diversionary story slip away." It added, "The fact that Fox News chose to dwell on McKinney and ignore the leaked intelligence...speaks volumes about the network’s priorities."

What Rep. Cynthia McKinney did was horrible and she should be held accountable. But is it more important than the President of the United States outing the identity of a CIA agent? Yes, the liberal media is alive and well.
