Fox News is many things, but “Fair and Balanced” has never been one of them. I used to find it bewildering that a cable news channel that so obviously plays the role of Republican mouthpiece had the gall to pretend to be unbiased - and that viewers bought it. Eventually I ...read more

This is really more of an aside to a couple of previous pieces that ran down NBC's woes in terms of its roll-out of the shiny new toy it's obsessing over, Megyn Kelly. But it's information that, while not surprising in the least, deserves to be seen far and wide so people can ...read more

So by now it's known by pretty much everyone everywhere that Megyn Kelly will be leaving Fox News and heading to, by any measure, greener pastures at NBC. Kelly is a bonafide star, certainly, so there's no doubt that her departure is bad news for Fox -- despite the network's ...read more
