VITAMEDIAS

Fox News 'balance' is just plain bogus: Just in case some Americans are still swallowing the Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox News Network's "fair and balanced" claim, a national Web site has begun to document its partisan bias.
MoveOn.org launched a "Fox Watch" group last month to "chart this alarming disintegration of journalistic standards."
Thousands have signed up to monitor the network and "hold it accountable for specific instances of manipulations or distortions of truth and partisan bias."
So just last week, MoveOn.org reported that Fox News was the public relations brain behind the Senate Republicans' recent all-night talk-a-thon to counter the Democrats' filibuster against four of George Bush's most radical conservative appointments to the federal bench.
