After a reporter from the New York Times wrote a piece on how Fox News is biased, Fox called reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs" and did a hit piece on them showing altered photos of them and another picture showing the editor holding the reporter on a leash. The reporter's head was superimposed on the body of a poodle.

nice roasting of O'Really!s tactics on Hardball last night, which Rachel Maddow guest hosted (love her). With regard to the Jesse Jackson faux pas, O'Really said "we won't speculate on his motives or tell you what to think, we'll just show it to you and let you decide" --- then he went on to speculate on his motives and tell everyone what to think...
too bad the people who need to see that pointed out to them weren't watching - they were all too busy being brainwashed by Fox News.
