Financial Times, in article about AirAmerica, calls FOX news conservative

[wyldwolf]

So much for fair and balanced. Will FOX sue them for "tainting" their image?

Air America radio goes on the air next Wednesday, initially in four cities - New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles - as well as by satellite and over the internet. By the end of the year, Mr Walsh hopes to be in 36 markets, through a combination of station leases and purchases, syndication deals and other arrangements.

"You couldn't ask for a better time to launch," said Mr Walsh, chief executive of the fledgling network.

So far, conservatives are showing no signs of fear. "This country is based on the principle of free speech, so we wish them well," said a spokesman for Fox News, where Bill O'Reilly, a popular talk radio host, also has a television programme.

1. Fox News knows perfectly well it's conservative.

They just don't want the ignorant masses to figure that out.

Surprisingly enough, some people will still believe something because a suit says it on TV.

2. Is Fox New's president called Roger Ailes?

If so, am I spelling his name right? I just tried to google him and I came up with nothing substantial.
