More proof that Murdoch sucks.

Channel 5, the local Fox affiliate, is branding their coverage of the transit strike with a graphic shouting, "Illegal Strike." How is that objective reporting? I'm not going to debate the legality of the strike here - the point is that there is discussion about it (is it even a valid law, and when is it necessary to break a law in order to fight for what you believe is justice, etc., etc.) and plastering their program with "Illegal" they are blatantly pushing one side over the other. What would it look like if another station had a pretty logo that read, "Totally Justified Strike"? Yeah, stupid. So what's the difference?

Goodbye, Fox. Too bad, because I like your weather updates during your early morning show. But I'll find another program - one that lets me think for myself.

Yeah, it's not often we see ILLEGAL WAR or ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE OF U.S. CITIZENS BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT.
