#1 Alex Seitz-Wald posts a chart that helps illustrate just how much more focused Fox News is on negative portrayals of Islam.

This because Fox actually tels the truth about Islam...

#2 Why would anyone expect a balanced portrayal of Islam in the news? Mostly the news is about bad stuff happening (and American Idol), and if the bad stuff was done by Muslims, then of course (those) Muslims will be portrayed in an unfavorable light.
If stuff about Muslims being good makes the news, it would have to be because good Muslims were the newsworthy, unusual condition - which also proves Fox's distribution is appropriate.

#4 Did I miss Sewer-boy's parallel story about the WAPO's slanted reporting of the Tea-party?

#5 I take this to mean that sewer boy is worried the truth is getting out. The reasons for MSNBC and CNN lagging are that they are agenda-driven, slow catching up, not interested in the news, have leftie moonbats on their staffs, have falling viewership and don't want to offend anyone, are too PC, or all of the above.

#6 I believe the response is, "Whaaaaaa".

Fuck off, goat boy. When Islam stops doing bad stuff we'll stop slamming it. Kinda like the IRA.

#7 Beck was very fair and balanced last night. He compared the Twelvers to Christianity and had a "moderate" Muslim on as well. Just because anyone with a brain can only draw one conclusion doesn't make it a lie...but it does challenge those(Progressives) that cling to a false reality. Like Glenn says: "Do your own research".
