As for Fox News' string of "independent" awards, please name them. The Peabody Award is the oldest electronic media award in the country, having been given by UGA’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication since 1941. Number of wins by Fox News, ever? Zero.
I read the Wall Street Journal and The Economist because they're good. I wipe my ass with the Washington Times because its writers are illiterate. P.J. O'Rourke? LOVE him! My point being I will readily acknowledge solid conservative journalism. Fox News is great if I want some right-wing, flag-waving smoke blown up my ass, and that's about it. Besides Hume, Fox News' broadcasts are not insightful, not compelling, and for God's sake NEVER fair-minded.
