Re: Not what he says

FoxNews is right wing. So?
There is putative bias, and there is raison d'ĂȘtre.

The Age does attack the Labor government, even if it isn't always acrimonious enough for your liking. There was even a large investigative report published in yesterday's (Saturday's) edition, over several pages.

FoxNews regards any evidence of US misdeeds or atrocities as mere trivial abberations (even after the nth repetition), and questioning of the neo-con agenda as treasonous (and, yes, they do use that word).

FoxNews puts me far more in mind of classical Pravda than The Age ever has. (The new Pravda is more or less the Weekly World News in Russion.) The same (dis)regard for objective truth, the same attitude towards dissent to power, the same vitriol towards The Enemy (whether it be Eastasia or Eurasia this week). The main difference is that Pravda never had Bill Reilly or Anne Coulter.
