Remember, they "watch Fox so you don't have to"...email digest:
News Hounds Media Digest #48
9/6/05 to 9/11/05
1. Melanie: Sometimes the favorable treatment Fox gives Republicans is glaringly obvious, as it was last week in its "coverage" of two press conferences, one held by Democrats, the other held by Republicans.
http://tinyurl.com/7a2mt 2. Nancy: By devoting the vast majority of its aire time to Katrina-related coverage, Fox News Live last week found yet more opportunities to bury unpleasant news -- such as the appeals court ruling that the government can legally detain American citizens indefinitely, without even a hearing.

Chrish: "My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." Grover Norquist is getting his wish, and the down-sized government has failed to meet the people's needs this week - big time. Bush cronies are cleaning up on the disaster, some more literally than others.

Deborah: Gregg Jarrett and Henry Cisneros discussed the reconstruction of New Orleans and their future for the city looked bright despite some dire warnings from the EPA about the environmental hazards which they neglected to mention

http://www.newshounds.us/2005/09/09/coulter_coyly_plays_a_compassionate_christian_on_tv.php#more7. Janie: This week, Fox used a poll conducted by USA Today/Gallup and changed the wording of the one question asked to favor Bush by stating that only 13% of people "blame" Bush for the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. They did not, however, mention that in the same poll, asked to the same respondents, 42% of people felt that Bush was doing a "bad" or "terrible" job handling the aftermath.
