CBS News President: Seriously, We’re Not Biased

Despite his proclamations of his network’s fairness, Rhodes seemed aware that many do not believe in the objectivity of the self-styled mainstream press:
“Fox was built into a great franchise because many people in this country don’t trust, or just plain don’t like, the other options,” he said.
That remark is interesting because Rhodes actually used to work at Fox News. According to Crain’s New York Business, he oversaw FNC’s coverage of the 2008 presidential campaign, despite the fact that his brother, Ben, was working for the Obama campaign. That’s a point that the Fox haters are likely never to acknowledge as a contrasting point to the fact that George W. Bush’s cousin John Prescott Ellis worked for the channel as a consultant during the 2000 presidential campaign. Could it be that Fox News actually isn’t the pure Republican propaganda platform of liberal imagination? Perish the thought!
