PRESTOPUNDIT -- A Good Blog at a Great Price. Guaranteed.

Glenn quotes Tim Rutten: "If the American news media are lucky, 2004 will be remembered as the year of living dangerously. If not, then this election cycle may be recalled as the point at which journalism's slide back into partisanship became a kind of free fall." And then adds: "Too bad some of his LAT colleagues have already shouted "Geronimo!""

Rutten's column is actually quite dishonest, advancing the standard leftist lie that Fox News is the great partisan devil in the press, while everyone else -- all those partisan Democrats in the big city papers and at ABC, NBC, CNN and CBS -- are dedicated to presenting objective news. Recent studies show exactly the opposite -- Fox actually is the least biased of all the major news outlets in America. It turns out that even Drudge is far less biased than are such folks as the NY Times and CBS News. But I guess that is setting the bar damn far low. Posted by Greg Ransom | TrackBack
