A July 22 CNSNews.com article by Susan Jones highlights liberal groups highlighting the phone-hacking scandal at Rupert Murdoch’s British newspapers to raise questions about “Fox News, a favorite target of liberals.” Jones serves up a peculiar description of Fox News:
Fox News, with its “fair and balanced” slogan, is pegged as a conservative news outlet because it presents viewpoints overlooked or excluded by the liberal media and it employs conservative (as well as liberal) hosts and pundits.
Um, Susan? Fox News is “pegged as a conservative news outlet” because it is a conservative news outlet.
