Interesting article on faux news, oregonian

Why do I mistrust Fox? Let me count the ways

Perhaps you are familiar with an old saying: even a broken clock is right twice a day. I've found that maxim valuable as I wade through the recent hand-wringing and recriminations among journalists and their critics over the fact that most mainstream media were slow to pick up on the story of corruption at Acorn.

New York Times ombudsman Clark Hoyt (a former colleague) and Andrew Alexander, his counterpart at the Washington Post, are among those who have asked whether that laggard performance reflects an unfortunate deafness to conservative media. As one of my readers put it, "There is a lot wrong with Acorn, and Fox was the only channel talking about it."
