Fox News' Julie Banderas and super-blogger Johnny Dollar pose a challenge to lefty blogs, such as MediaMatters.org. Banderas criticized Rush Limbaugh and praised Michael J. Fox re: the stem cell issue. (And Julie mentioned, in passing, that that her father has Parkinson's Disease--our prayers are with you!)
Now, as Banderas and Dollar ask, will MediaMatters and all the rest even take notice? Or is the left-blogosphere only programmed to criticize FNC, never to take notice when FNC proves that it really is fair and balanced--presenting all sides?
So far, nothing from MediaMatters, thus tending to confirm, so far at least, all of our suspicions about the unfair and unbalanced nature of MM.
UPDATE On October 30, MM posted an item on Julie's "dare," and they played it straight--they even gave Johnny Dollar credit for first noticing the item. So I give MM credit for this much, and maybe more: when they're really being watched, they do the right thing. And so that's my goal, to really watch 'em, like a hawk!
