Fox has both opinion pieces, as well as news pieces. So do the other networks. No matter which you watch, you have to discern between the two.

Though if your already biased one way or the other, your going to see an opinion portion and it will resonate with you, or infuriate you - depending on its stance in relation to your own.
I've never seen any news agency promoting (fabricating) the news they want to cast, either as endorcement to protesters, or simply by misquoting or taking deliberatly out of contest sentences only to bash someone's charachter (ok this last one it's pretty common). Also I've never seen a news channel where their anchors use their screen time to sell their books and merchandise adding "their the perfect gift and a great bargain", like that O'Reilly chap...

For me that's disgusting, and more importantly UNETHICAL, and my collegues of the radio's information department tend to agree in that.

PS: I don't have a any beef with any corporate enterprise, why would I? I just pointed out that the great majority of insurance companies are closely related to the banking entities that led to the crisis.
