Fox Protecting Palin

Fox News has a reputation of being biased in favor of the republicans. As the following video shows, Fox is not willing to report on Ms. Palin getting booed at a hockey game.



Not surprised? Neither was I. But we must keep in mind that Fox News presents itself as a legitimate news source. They might defend their edited video as proof that they are "fair and balanced." After all, don't all news editors decide what story gets presented to the public and which does not? Not this time--this is a simple case of Pappa Murdoch protecting a young, pretty republican woman. If this had been a male republican candidate Fox would have reported on the crowd's negative response and chalked it up to the crowd being made up of rich East coast Liberals. But because Ms. Palin is a woman, the video of her getting booed is too unsavory to display.
