Here’s an interesting article on the brewing controversy over “Outfoxed” at Editor and Publisher.
I thought this was particularly revealing:
Fox was active on other fronts. Staffers showed other memos to USA Today writer Mark Memmott who suggested today that “Outfoxed” focuses only on the memos that uphold its view of rightwing bias at Fox. Other memos, he reported, included instructions to give Sen. John Kerry’s speeches equal weight with those of President George W. Bush, and to not go overboard covering criticism of Kerry by some of his former “swift boat” colleagues.
That’s just funny. Why would the “fair and balanced” network have to distribute memos to its staff reminding them to give equal time to Kerry? And, you have to wonder about why they would need to be told not to “go overboard” on the swift boat charges. I don’t suppose that would be because that entire line of criticism played into Bush’s lack of Vietnam service, would it?
