News Hounds: We watch Fox so you don't have to

So the people of News Hounds teamed up through http://www.moveon.org/ and decided to conduct an experiment with Fox News channel.

"For approximately three months, each of us watched FNC conscientiously for five or more hours a week and posted our findings regarding Fox's self-proclaimed mission of fair and balanced reporting," writes a News Hound spokesperson in the group's manifesto. "Appalled by our results, we, who would not meet in person until months later, banded together in cyberspace in concern and outrage over the failure of American media, and Fox News in particular, to relate the news properly."

So what has this group come up with? Well, a great deal of bias reportedly being dished out by Fox News. Here are just a few examples.

According to News Hound, Dick Morris, of Fox News, invited a former Clinton advisor to discuss the possibility of Sen. Clinton being offered the Secretary of State position. But, News Hounds detected a problem with the interview. "Morris went out of his way to change the subject in order to make a fundraising pitch for the run-off candidacy of Republican Saxby Chambliss," writes a News Hound reporter.



"A Hannity & Colmes guest helped further the 'Barack Obama is a secret terrorist' meme, this time because his Attorney General nominee-to-be, Eric Holder, helped pardon a number of radicals, including a few tied to none other than William Ayers," writes a News Hound journalist. "It smacks of the failed guilt by association rhetoric of the just-ended campaign."



The reports of News Hound suggest a continual theme on behalf of Fox News... To me it appears that they have difficulty reporting a positive Democratic story and are continually looking for a slant to report on...
