Even as Fox’s mantra was probably meant to tweak the MSM about its political bias, it works just as well as a method for promoting product quality. Even in a new world where journalistic bias is out in the open, don’t we expect at least a modicum of “fairness”, and isn’t it the case that offering the counter argument is a good way to convince readers/viewers that your position is superior?
Right leaning Fox may not be shy about choosing its subject matter in a way that promotes its political agenda, but I find their news superior because they tend not to ambush guests and they certainly give more time to opposing views than do their competitors.
