TYT: Fox News Guest Accidentally Describes How Biased Fox Is



Fox News guest Peter Johnson Jr. believes the blog Politico is in on the (fictional) liberal mainstream media plan to discredit 2012 Republican Presidential candidates. He also unintentionally describes Fox perfectly. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Since we moved to DU 3 I often don't have video supported on this phone. Good call, Cenk.

He said "left wing". This plays into my theory of how right wingers fail to regognize themselves as right wing. They all think they are only slightly to the right of center, and anything to the left of them is (e.g. the Wall St. Journal) left wing.

Can't make the connection that so many of the a-holes that they have on that show have recently ran or are currently running for the POTUS, as Republicans, and that channel claims they are fair. It's almost a 2+2=4 comparison, but then again, numbers just confuse these folks.
