Fair & Balanced

As I write, Fox News Channel is broadcasting a Bush campaign speech as a "Fox News Alert." There's nothing consequential about the speech; it's just a standard stump speech. I have no idea why it's even news, let alone an "alert." Surprising? Hardly, but it's revolting nonetheless.

they cover that in "Outfoxed": the fact that Fox News views Bush's campaign speeches as breaking news.
