ACORN On Fox. Fair and Balanced?
No, I do not expect FOX to be fair, or even attempt to hide their bias. I guess my frustration with them is so many people take what they 'report' as truth.
Some interesting news on Fox's coverage of ACORN, which has NEVER been charged with criminal wrongdoing, and their coverage of Blackwater, KBR, Abramoff, etc. who actually have been charged and/or fined millions of dollars.
********************************************************************************************************************
On Beck's and Hannity's respective television programs combined, ACORN was mentioned 1,502 times between May 8, 2006, and September 18, 2009. More than 1,500 times. Remember that ACORN has not been charged with any wrongdoing. Not only that, but the organization has been awarded just $53 million in federal funding over the past 15 years -- an average of $3.5 million per year.
Compare that to the coverage Beck and Hannity gave to Jack Abramoff, former Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH), Blackwater, Halliburton, and Kellogg, Brown, and Root (KBR) -- stories of well-documented political scandals and of corruption by companies that have received thousands of times more money from the government than ACORN has in the past 15 years. Abramoff and Ney were involved in influence peddling corruption that reached the highest levels of the Bush administration and Republican-controlled Congress. The aforementioned military contractors have all been involved in major controversies and scandals, some of which reportedly contributed to the deaths of U.S. troops, contractors, and Iraqi civilians alike. Combined, these contractors have been awarded at least $25 billion in contracts since 2001.
So how many times were these names mentioned on Beck's and Hannity's programs?
Abramoff and Ney: 62 times
Blackwater/Xe: four times
Halliburton/KBR: 43 times

Thank you mark.
Facts suck for Fox, don't they?
The question is--will the Fox fans actually care, or do they lap this shit up like teenagers with a box of Twinkies? -
