First time ever?

A tip of the hat to MSNBC’s Dan Abrams, who, in his “Beat the Press” (LINK) segment Monday night, blasted Fox News anchors’ bias.

“The attack team over at Fox News,” Abrams said, “is trying to get traction out of comments Chris Matthews made at the “Hardball” 10th anniversary party last week. He made reference to this administration, quote, “finally getting caught in their criminality.” He‘s talking about Cheney aide “Scooter” Libby‘s conviction.”

Fox News had been on a campaign against Matthews moderating yesterday’s GOP debate, pointing out they would only use “news” anchors as moderators.

Abrams played a clip of a Fox News anchor, who incredulously stated, “For the first time ever, a political party may have a network news organization in its pocket.”

For the “first time ever?” Why Abrams didn’t choke is beyond me! He pointed out that the Republican Party has had Fox News in its pocket since 1996.

Abrams then delivered the coup de grace, playing just one example of “news” anchor Brit Hume’s less-than-objective attacks on Democrats.

How is it possible that Fox viewers cannot detect the bias? Kool-Aid. It has to be the Kool-Aid.
