Surprise, surprise: Fox News manufactures scandal around Obama
I found the following clip on YouTube:
It is a short piece about Fox News' biased coverage (manufacture, even) of various Barack Obama-related scandals. It opens with the statement: "Attack politics on a TV channel. Usually you leave attack politics to a political campaign." I think the speaker, whose name I can't quite make out, fails to realize that Fox News is the device of a political campaign: an ongoing one, the scope of which far supercedes the scope of conventional political campaigns. To suggest that Fox News should obey the rules of informative TV channels is to give it too much credit by even placing it in that category.
