“Fair and Balanced” Lie Admitted

Imagine if Dan Rather said this:

"Even we at CBS manage to get some right wingers on the air occasionally, and often let them finish their sentences before we club them to death and feed the scraps to George Soros."

If Rather had said that, you would never here the end of it from the wingnut blogsphere.  But, of course, he didn’t.  The above quote is actually (with modifications) from Fox News London bureau chief.  He said:

Even we at Fox News manage to get some lefties on the air occasionally, and often let them finish their sentences before we club them to death and feed the scraps to Karl Rove and Bill O’Reilly.

So if “fair and balanced” is a lie (as now admitted), I guess everything that Fox reports is likely to be a lie, right?  Right?
