This reps if/when I can.
The thing about Fox is that the anchors just do a straight read of whatever comes from the wire service, and then do commentary on it. They never do investigative segments, ad if they do interviews, its always either coddling the interviewee, or badgering them, depending on whether or not the interviewee is "Murdoch approved."
The newspapers and other media of the 1840's / 1850's were pretty divided as far as partisanship goes, and I think that now with the rise of the conglomerates like Newscorp and the increased visibility of the lunatic fringe via the internet, that we are heading back in that direction.
