There has been no increase in the number, despite reports to the contrary.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “Even we at Fox News manage to get some lefties on the air occasionally, and often let them finish their sentences before we club them to death and feed the scraps to Karl Rove and Bill O’Reilly. And those who hate us can take solace in the fact that they aren’t subsidizing Bill’s bombast; we payers of the BBC license fee don’t enjoy that peace of mind. Fox News is, after all, a private channel and our presenters are quite open about where they stand on particular stories. That’s our appeal. People watch us because they know what they are getting. The Beeb’s institutionalized leftism would be easier to tolerate if the corporation was a little more honest about it.” – Fox News’ London bureau chief, Scott Norvell, as reported by Tim Noah. He’s right on both counts. The problem with the BBC’s leftism is that it’s publicly financed and Beebers are in denial about it. Neither problem afflicts Fox, to their credit. They’re not in denial, as Norvell proves; they simply fib about it. Why not acknowledge the bias and revel in it? That’s what we do here at as.com.
