Fox News: Skewing the News, Even Locally

After reading Shooting War the commentary on the ongoing Middle East conflict is excellent, but the commentary on news reporting is was even more apparent. The first thing I noticed was the changing of major news stations, most likely due to the change of administration (McCain and all) of CNN to the dubiously titled Eternal Vigilance: Global Television. Although Anderson Cooper makes a appearance, I was more disturbed by the cameo of Bill "We'll Do it Live" O' Reilly. I have this deep hatred for Fox News, and how what they do isn't actually report the news, they're more of news commentary, from the extremely far right. Don't get me wrong I'm not pro-CNN either, they are indeed a very right wing source for the news. When it comes to the news, I tend to get my news from the BBC, they're pretty unbiased view of the United States. Aw hell who am I kidding they tend to laugh at us American twits. Even a supposed letter from John Cleese to American displayed his (supposed) discontent with America. If believe the video below proves my point.
