I have no problem with this joke, I think it is spot on. Fox news is as conservative as NPR is liberal. I have no problem with that. However the "Fair and Balanced" line is laughable, I mean, why even pretend? Fox leans to the right, and I _like_ it that way.

As far as war coverage, I don't want anybody to be "fair and balanced" if that means giving equal time to that inane Information Minister.

I couldn't disagree more.
Fox IS fair and balanced. It has Colmes paired Hannity, it has Mara Liasson and Juan Williams on Brit Hume's panel discussion, it has Ellen Ratner, and others.
The only reason it looks conservative is because conservative arguments are so superior to the liberal ones.
Also, Fox's fair and balanced looks conservative to some because they benchmark it against the insufferably liberal CNN, CBS, and ABC.

True FOX seems to be conservative
but they still let liberals have their say. To me that is fair and balanced.
ABCCBSNBCCNNNPR on the other hand are TOTALLY liberal, give NO time to conservative viewpoint, actuall BASH conservatives, and then claim to be unbiased.
