Fair And Balanced

This is an internal memo from Fox News, in the aftermath of the election, advising its news team on how to cover stories that day. Note the line "And let’s be on the lookout for any statements from the Iraqi insurgents, who must be thrilled at the prospect of a Dem-controlled congress."

Why should a news organization be on the lookout for statements from Iraqi insurgents about anything? Is that news? Are we to take enemies at their word? Or is this simply designed to put terrorists and Democrats in league with one another?

By the way, somebody gave Palestinian terrorists $2 million dollars to release two Fox News journalists a couple months ago. I don't know who would be interested in doing that other than Fox News itself.

We should be on the lookout for any statements from these Palestinian insurgents, who must be thrilled at the prospect of a $2 million dollar gift from Fox News.
