So Much for an Impartial Media

"Somebody's out there screaming about something,'' Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly said while, over his shoulder, Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski addressed the convention. ``I don't know what it is and it really doesn't matter at this point.'' (AP Wire on NYTimes.com)

Sure, I don't expect the networks to broadcast the conventions gavel-to-gavel. But just because you happen to be a Republican, that doesn't permit you to be an idiot. Well, I guess if it works for their president...

An aside: isn't it ironic that Fox is the network of such staunchly conservative "news" mongers but at the same time, home to such things as "The Simpsons"?

Speaking of Fox and the Simpsons, you've got your Tivo set, right? A character is going to come out. Sure everyone thinks it's Smithers, but my money's on one of Bart's aunts.

Yes, but it's also home to Arrested Development. What gives?
