Columnist Charges Fox With Mideast Bias

In its coverage of the latest round of carnage in the Middle East, "Fox News has pointedly refused to cover every angle of the bloody, on-going story," writes Eric Boehlert at the HuffingtonPost. In his opinion, the channel has "walked away from professional journalism and crossed over into dutiful propaganda; a dangerous new chapter even for Fox News." He bases his conclusion on "a review of the blatantly one-sided collection of guests and experts FNC has booked to discuss the conflict recently." From that, he claims Fox News has opted to present an hermetically sealed version of events from the Middle East and spoon feed its viewers a preschool-like account of the news." Fox News, he says, which turns 10 later this year, has moved beyond the "warmongering it trademarked during the run-up to the Iraq war in 2003 and slipped into a conscious, company-wide decision to purposely cordon off topics of discussion."
