<p>It is deeply detrimental to the longterm interests of democracy when Democrats praise and support FOX News. This would be true regardless of who that Democrat is, but it's particularly heinous when Terry McAuliffe, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is singing their praises. <p> "Let me congratulate FOX," McAuliffe said this past week, "because you were the first ones to call [the Pennsylvania primary] for Hillary Clinton." McAuliffe, who is also chairing Clinton's Presidential committee, actually echoed the FOX mantra by calling them "fair and balanced." What is so dangerous about McAuliffe's praise is that FOX is now using his words as a TV ad to prove just how fair and balanced they are. The rest of us know the truth. </p><p> Jonathan put together this video as a reminder of how exceedingly <em>unfair</em> and <em>imbalanced</em> FOX actually is. These are just few gems to let McAuliffe and others know that FOX is the foe, has always been the foe, and will continue to be the foe of accurate reporting. </p><p> <strong>Please help us in this quest by sharing what you think have been the worst FOX moments in the comments section below</strong>. We will send the list to McAuliffe as a firm reminder that he must not applaud FOX!</p></p>

<p><p>I love right-wing propaganda groups. They're just so fun to laugh at. That's why when I saw the headline that Fox was the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/12/28/study-fox-news-most-bala_n_78528.html">"most fair and balanced network,"</a> I decided, just for the hell of it, to read on. </p><p>And oh what I found. It turns out that the "study" was done by the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Center_for_Media_and_Public_Affairs">Center For Media and Public Affairs</a> (CMPA) housed at George Mason University. George Mason, for the uninitiated, is one of a few universities whose research organs have been entirely bought off by right-wing "think" tanks. Like with Pepperdine (some guy named Ken Starr, <a href="http://www.lawschool.com/deanstarr.htm">a serial liar and lawbreaking leaker of grand jury testimony</a>, is the Dean of the law school), it is best to ask questions and look into the sponsors of any purportedly academic report.</p></p>
