What Actual Bias Looks Like

How do you know you're working for a biased news organization? If they won't let you investigate one of the biggest stories of all-time, even if you pay your own way.

Here's the headline in TV Newser: Former Fox Newser Says Network Forbid Her From Traveling to Moscow to Report on Trump-Kremlin Connections.

“You can’t do in-depth reporting if you’re not there,” the former Fox correspondent reportedly told Parliament earlier today. “Fox didn’t let me go to Moscow to dig into Trump’s Russian connections, even when I offered to pay my own way.”

“Fox is just buying what the White House is selling,” she continued.

Why is a former Fox Newser testifying to British Parliament? Because her former Boss Rupert Murdoch is trying to buy the biggest television news organization in Europe. The Parliament doesn't want a repeat of what is happening here in this country. They've already banned Fox News for being too biased. Tney don't want Murdoch to turn Sky News into another 24-hour right-wing grievance festival.
