Dick Morris implies that Fox News isn't Fair and Balanced.

BILL O'REILLY: If you were McCain, do you use this (Rev. Wright's controversial remarks) against Obama?

MORRIS: He doesn't have to. You just did. And the talk radio people around the country --

O'REILLY: No, but people will forget about it --

MORRIS: Not if --

O'REILLY: If the -- make a series of political commercials --

MORRIS: Yeah, no, no. He who touches this rail dies. It's a third rail.

But you -- but the other media, the other conservative media can make a big deal of it.


If Fox News is fair-and-balanced, why would they make a big deal out of an Obama-related controversy in place of John McCain?

5. "Dick Morris serves as a political analyst for FOX News"
He's staff.

Fox News' slogan is "Fair and Balanced."

They are supposedly an objective news source, not an organization trying to get Republicans elected.

8. I TOTALLY get that Morris works there, but do you honestly think...
that anyone in the entire US of A considers Fox fair and balanced? At this point they've sort of stopped even giving this lip service most of the time. Virtually everyone considers them the "conservative" station. That we find an instance where Fox associates acknowledge what everyone else has already publicly stated should hardly be seen as news, IMHO.
