It's so refreshing that we can freely admit, now, that "news" outlets are biased. For the longest time, pre-fox, we were admonished that complaints of network bias were unfounded. That anchors and reporters were all purely objective, and not to worry about undue influence toward liberal agendas.
All it took for us to admit the truth was the appearance of an interloper in the sanctimonious realm of "pure" journalism. Fox, the black sheep in this herd of the hallowed press, gained a following which was weaned from the "major" networks, and it had to be reckoned with. And the accusation of its right leaning bias exposed a true difference, at least in the eyes of those who finally could watch news without barfing.
