Unfair, Unbalanced, Unbelievable

MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann calls out Fox News, once again, on their hypocrisy, lies, and unethical journalism. In Daily Show fashion, Olbermann’s Countdown crew often goes to Fox’s own past footage to shed light on the truth, as they do here with Glen Beck. If any journalist in the “Liberal Media” said any of the hateful and violence-inciting things that Beck often does, the right-wing would scream until their eyes popped out of their fat heads.
Olbermann also finally hammers back at the right-wing for their constant complaints about the Liberal Media. There isn’t one. Doesn’t exist. The right has used this tactic to shift the middle to the left, and the right to the middle. Research shows that the mainstream media reflects the ideals and beliefs of the majority of Americans. Most people consider that these media outlets are fair and balanced, and that in the majority of cases, report facts without political slant. A political news organization like Fox News must claim to be a reflection of the majority, in order to hide the fact that they far right-wing, they are partisan, they deal in opinion, and often lie with no concern about journalistic integrity. By decrying the mainstream media as “left”, or “liberal”, they are simply trying to portray themselves as the popular “middle”. It’s a deceptive way of portraying extreme political beliefs as normal.
