If one local station does something, it is <i>The Network</i>, for purposes of mockery, blame, and Other-ing.<br /><br />It would be far more acceptable if they were evenhanded in it and took the same sort of analysis for the flubs of "friendly" sources, but naturally, they don't. (And to be fair, it's not like Their Opposition is consistently any better.)<br /><br />They always seem surprised, when such things come up, to find that I don't watch or read Fox News. Because plainly only People Brainwashed By Evil Murdoch could ever not be leftists?
