the fox news part or the mission of the site?i didn't have any knowledge of media matters other than it was the first hit when searching for the story as i remembered it. i'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming they are representing what happened truthfully.their purpose statement is pretty negative, but i don't have a problem with them if that's what they're actually doing. "conservatives" floating around washingtion the last few years have been known to stretch the truth. it would be nice if they also committed to watching the other side of the aisle.

It seems like a strange, highly slanted mission statement for a Not for Profit group.

forsaking profit does not automatically make you "good". I am sure we could each find 3 conservative and 3 liberal not for profits with dodgy or objectionable motives.

I'm not making a good/bad statement. Just Explicit Political Bias seems strange for a Not for Profit.

Not for profit is just a way to avoid taxes for Soros.I mean when you cause a recession in the UK for a couple years because you short their currency, you got to find some way to get a tax break back home for doing it.
