Why I listen to NPR, part 5
I'm continually puzzled by the labeling of Fox News as "right-wing". It does carry more of the Repooflican commentators, but most of them are party hacks, not wingers of any sort. They loyally supported Manchurian Candidate McCain, whose agenda was 100% identical to Pasha Obama. That's not ideology, it's just a highly paid commercial endorsement. Pepsi over Coke.
Outside the commentators, Fox's "hard news" people are just as solidly Commie as CNN's.
Nice example this morning on a report from Guttmacher, the abortion industry's private think tank:
"For the first time in decades, more women have exercised their right to choose."
- - - Fox, Steve Rappaport
"For the first time in three decades, the number and rate of abortions performed in the United States is no longer declining."
- - - NPR, Julie Rovner
Which of these statements represents an open left-wing viewpoint, and which is neutral? ¶ 8:04 AM
