Fairnbalanced

It's not that we didn't know it, but it's good to see Ailes admit it:
Fox News President Roger Ailes, a former Republican strategist who worked for the Nixon White House, sat down for an interview with media reporter Howard Kurtz, in which he seemed to admit that his network is consciously conservative. “Every other network has given all their shows to liberals. We are the balance,” Ailes said.
I don't think that's what they meant when they called themselves "fair and balanced" for the past 15 years, but whatever. Their audience doesn't care one little bit and everyone else already gets it. The only ones who have ever pretended otherwise are members of the news media who want to keep their options open for employment.(Speaking of which,I wonder how Ed Henry's going over with the 65+ white male wingnut crowd over there?)
