I think that there is a pretty clear difference between the unavoidable biases associated with the fact that journalists are humans operating in a marketplace and purposeful, systematic, organization-wide bias associated with news organizations with political axes to grind.
Maybe that means I'm not cynical enough. Either way, Jazz, the thrust of your argument seems to be that the situation at Fox is not novel, which, aside from the fact of not being true, doesn't really seem all that relevant to anything anyone else is talking about here.
Also, why is it somehow impossible to talk about singular instances of imperfection without too cool for school folks chiming in about how nothing is perfect and that therefore, focusing on any particular imperfect thing is dumb. For instance: We apparently shouldn't talk about specific ways in which Fox News is biased because all news organizations are biased to some intangible degree.
