I think the point is that Fox simply aired an interview with a controversial character. As if ABC and their ilk haven't done the same thing. As a matter of fact I do remember ABC making mention of the snafu caused by his remarks, as Fox only comes in for part of the day here. (too cheap to pay for cable instead of feeding kids)
If I had to rely on NPR and ABC for my news of the world I would one very sorry, slanted and limited person. I notice that NPR and ABC aren't reporting terribly much on the flooding and levy breaks in the midwest, and there is no one sitting on their porch shouting "where's the gov't?" Where is all the news about some Idahoan potato farmer looting expensive tennis shoes? The right wing reported on Katrina catching every possible racial angle, when it was quite simply a natural disaster. Making it race related was done by the media and those in the black community that are racist. It made me sick and I wanted nothing to do with 'rebuilding New Orleans" at that point.
To report without an obviously defined agenda...wouldn't that be something?
