conservatives talk about personal responsibility while never accepting any of it--so here, when the problems with fox news are obvious to anyone who looks, you get a series of bland relativizing moves the point of which is to diffuse responsibility. fox is not like other networks.
aparently that gets too close to something wrong that conservatives might have to acknowledge.
so "well, cnn and msnbc are blah blah blah..."
it would be funny if it were not so...o what's the word...spineless.
and this from the same political position that advocates a kind of high school machiavelli as forgein policy guide, that advocates bombing the shit out of everyplace understood as 'anti-american" blah blah blah. the kind of militarism that can only happen if you know other people will die while you talk; the kind of personal responsibility that always, only, applies to other people.
