Why can't we start calling its brand of "Fair and Balanced", uncritical, "the right says this and left says this" reporting what it is, namely, affirmative action for conservative hacks and people of middling intelligence? Fox's habit of allowing its talking heads to get away with labelling everything an "interpretation", regardless of its resemblance to the truth, is just them trying to find space in the discourse for people who just aren't up to recognizing facts. Points of view are given weight and time not for their correctness, but merely because a certain number of people believe them. Affirmative action. You know this would REALLY piss them off.
