From past experiences about such outrages to friends who are journalists would point out that the fact the man was a Republican wasn't really relavant to the story...
The 'story' was the dude's admissions, and quitting congress. This is actually what 'fair' reporting looks like...
The only problem is, I'm pretty sure FoxNews opinon/anchors would be crowing from the catwalks if it was a Democrat that the dude was a Dem...
It is in this way that Fox's coverage bias is subtle... This is further underscored by my observation that much of the time it's pretty obvious when the opinion/anchor is wearing his/her 'opinion hat'... the confusing bit is they break up actual newscast to give it, making their 'news' coverage seem to be biased...
I too believe this is remarkably shady and misleading... but if we are going to be accurate about things, let's be accurate and call the appropriate kettle black.
