Whilst CNN and Fox may be biased in terms of -what- they publish, that doesn’t actually mean that what they publish is wrong.
And what about what was written was wrong? Bush didn’t lift the executive ban? Congress, at Bush’s urging and faced with $4/gallon gas didn’t lift the federal ban? Obama didn’t pull back on that?
Corporate media bias typically manifests itself in the way issues are framed, and the limitation of debate/discussion into a narrow set of “acceptable” (from the perspective of whatever the bias is towards) viewpoints. It’s virtually impossible for a major network to publish something which is verifiably untrue in the age of internet fact-checking, but it’s inevitable that the interpretation and discussion of said facts will be fit to the propaganda framework if the facts themselves are ideologically unsatisfactory for the corporate agenda.
Doesn’t stop Fox.
I stand by my contention that 99% of what FOX news or any other network reports is factually accurate but contextually manipulated to support an agenda.
FOX NEWS isn’t even in the same category as other news networks.
it’s like, politically-correct Nazi Propaganda.
Fox is like Doctor Zoidberg in Futurama
I just watch the biased news for laughs

Oh, there’s another spill now too- 100 miles away from BP’s. Oh, what a wonderful world, right?
Whow. Even my parents would be fucked. And they are living more than 100km away.
EINDHOVEN IS DESTROYED!
Again?
Holy shit, as a resident of Pensacola, I didn’t realize how the current was taking it right to me.
It is my personal theory this disaster is revenge for the Boston Tea Party.

I feel my region is especially vulnerable to shorecoming. Pensacola Beach’s welcome sign has the phrase World’s Whitest Beaches in neon… I see now what horror that ruddy shit can cause.
In other news, I bet the boom industry is booming.
It just occurred to me, watching Obama speak right now, after having visited my beach earlier today…
Can you imagine McCain trying to give these gung-ho defend-against-oil-damage speeches?
