I think my favorite is when they attacked one guy, who worked for a school, for not doing more when an underage 15 year old gay kid said he did stuff w/ an older man, and he didn't find out more to prosecute the one he did it with...except that he was 16, which is the age of consent in Mass., and didn't do any of this on school property, which is clearly out of his juristiction and technically none of his business. Despite all this, people are still calling for Ken Jennings' head. Stay classy, Fox News

Fox news is pretty terrible but every major news station has their slip ups. My favorite is CNN's Wolf Blitzer who was commenting on Hurricane Katrina and said on national tv "These people are so poor... and and so black..."

sure, slip ups happen, but look at the examples, these aren't slip ups, they're straight up taking things out of context (like the Joe Biden rally quote where he's quoting McCain and making it look like he JUST said it) and the story I just mentioned.

And CNN does whatever it can to slam Fox when they have a chance. Both news stations are the equivalent of two kids competing for high school class president. For example, their distortion of the situation in the Middle East.

All politically biased news are terrible but I'm pretty sure no one would watch Wikipedia: The News Station.
