False advertising

So here is a blog about Fox News by Jason Linkins. Linkins's audience is aimed towards people who maybe don't like Fox News, or don't like one-sided news.

Linkins talks about how Fox claimed to have the only coverage over the Tea Party protest that took place September 9th, which turned out to be false. Pretty much every other channel did except Fox. Fox only promoted it using a picture that was taken by CNN (which really angered Rick Sanchez). I think it was unprofessional that Fox promoted being the only one there (when they obviously weren't), but that doesn't mean you should hate the channel.

I really don't get why people are so concerned about Fox being more conservative rather than balanced. If they don't want to be balanced then they don't have to, but that's just my thought. Well I guess it might have to do with fox advertising that they "cover all the news", but don't.

Hmm..does someone smell false advertising?
