In a Q & A with Helen Thomas in Sunday's New York Times Magazine, writer Deborah Solomon continues to let her bias against Fox News show and makes professional Fox News-basher Thomas seem positively balanced:
SOLOMON: Are you concerned that the members of the Bush administration seem to give most of their interviews to Fox News?
THOMAS: No. It's always good to hear whatever anyone in power has to say, and if Fox has the access, good. If they can produce the news, that's what we want. We want the people to be informed.
Amazing how when it comes to the MSM's reporting on Fox News, "seems" is good enough; actual facts, actual reporting (as in, what is the numeric breakdown of interviews given to the different news nets by the Bush administration) is for tiresome sticklers for accuracy. Here's a little rule of thumb to measure one's degree of media bias. If Helen Thomas sounds like the soul of reason and fairness next to you, you have a real problem. It also means that you fit right in at the New York Times. Congratulations, Deborah Solomon: if you keep this up, you'll never get your reputation for accuracy back. Oops! That's right: if you never had it, you can't lose it!
