Cass Sunstein claims that Fox News and Air America are analogous. This is true up to a point, but that point is a very important one. Air America never claimed to be anything other than an outlet for opinion. Fox News insists on posing as a news outlet, and its major spokespeople in fact *don't* admit that there is a conservative bias to their coverage. They merely claim that they are a "fair and balanced" news channel that is just giving rich, white male conservatives a fair shake for once.
If you get all your news from Air America, I pity you. But no one--including Air America itself--ever said you should. Fox News is a different matter entirely.
