Media: Fox accidentally admits it's the conservative bullshit network

Scott Norvell, London Bureau chief for Fox News, in a recent editorial railing against the BBC:

Even we at Fox News manage to get some lefties on the air occasionally, and often let them finish their sentences before we club them to death and feed the scraps to Karl Rove and Bill O'Reilly. And those who hate us can take solace in the fact that they aren't subsidizing Bill's bombast; we payers of the BBC license fee don't enjoy that peace of mind.

Fox News is, after all, a private channel and our presenters are quite open about where they stand on particular stories. That's our appeal. People watch us because they know what they are getting. The Beeb's institutionalized leftism would be easier to tolerate if the corporation was a little more honest about it.

So it's okay to be biased, as long as that bias is privately owned. And, oh yeah, Fox is "quite open about where they stand on particular stories." That's why they claim to be fair and balanced every 30 seconds. Right. Asshats.

You should be shocked that one of their goons would slip and actually admit (in print, no less) that they're the network of numbskulls.
