I am curious to see more evidence of "purposeful disinformation in the pursuit of partisan objectives" and I would love to see evidence of this at other networks as well.

The repeated claims of "vast liberal media bias conspiracy" with little or no credible evidence to back them up grow more stale each time they are repeated.

And Davros I agree- Considering the slant is so blantantly obvious like it is at Fox it would not be unfair to ask for clear labeling of some or most of the 'news' programs as 'commentary'- I would begin with the "Fox & Friends" morning show. Those three yockels pass the time most mornings mocking the Dems and everyone else who doesnt toe the Bush line. Nothing even remotely like that on the other cable networks, who are busy actually reporting the news instead of injecting color commentary.

To Fox's credit- people like Cavuto (4:00 business news program) make it clear they have a conservative stance and opinion even though he does parrot the "fair and balanced" line as much as the rest of them. The greatest fallacy is O'Reilly's claim of "No-Spin"- That is indeed the biggest and most obvious spin there is in all of spindom.
