A new low, even for Fox News

James Rainey, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times for more than 20 years really let Fox News have it in today's editions over its fake-posing-as-real documentary, "Obama and Friends: The History of Radicalism," that aired Sunday during newscaster Sean Hannity's segment "Hannity's America." Rainey wrote:

"Fox's hourlong screed is just the kind of media coverage that has contributed to the increasingly angry and irrational tone on the campaign trail. Even by the low standards of this election's advocacy journalism, the program plumbed new depths -- relying on innuendo and guilt by association to paint the Illinois senator as a dupe of the shadowy forces of the left."

But then Fox News has never ever pretended to be an unbiased news outlet. As Rainey writes, the channel's objective is to "blame all of the world's evils on those pointy-headed, America-hating liberals."

That's not news reporting, it's advocacy. Nothing wrong with that if it's correctly labeled. But then Fox News never does anything correctly.
