"When word came in of Karl Rove's resignation, several people in the meeting started cheering. That sort of expression is simply not appropriate for a newsroom….As we head into a major political year, now's a good time to remember: Please keep your personal politics to yourself."

The other day I overheard a liberal say, "Fox News makes things up." If I had the time, I would've asked for some specifics and would have probably gotten the usual snooty response (no ready examples, just an accepted fact).
While I am a network alumnus, I'm no paid hack for Fox, when they say they're "fair and balanced", I don't interpret that to mean they're objective.
