I don't like MSNBC's news coverage of the elections because it is too biased. But biased is one thing; Fox's political farm team or way station for neocons is a different thing all together. MSNBC has some ethics, Fox doesn't (which isn't surprising given that it is the fiefdom of Roger Ailes, a man who by comparison makes Karl Rove seem like a boy scout.)
There are multiple people being paid by Fox News to essentially run for office as Republican candidates. If you count not just their hosts but their contributors, you're looking at a significant portion of the entire Republican lineup of potential contenders for 2012. They can do that because there's no rule against that at Fox. Their network is run as a political operation. Ours isn't. Yeah, Keith's a liberal, and so am I. But we're not a political operation -- Fox is. We're a news operation. The rules around here are part of how you know that.
