Fox News are craaaaaazy

February 6, 2004·1 min read

So a few days I recommended to Richard a list of news sources to get a better picture of the political climate. In the interests of being fair and balanced™, the list I suggested was:

BBC News (mildly leftist)
CNN (mildly right-wing)
Guardian (slightly more leftist)
The Times (slight more right-wing)
IndyMedia (craaaazy leftists)
Fox News (craaaazy right-wingers)

Today Richard sent me a link that made me realise that Fox News is even more ridiculous than I thought. Jesus, is that supposed to be fair and balanced? That guy even looks evil! Is he Cheney's younger brother or something?
