But in Hannity's case, I don't think they have that right. After all, he's not a newscaster, and he doesn't purport to be. He's clearly presenting a partison point of view on his show, which is about opinion not necessarily fact. To "storm the Bastille" over that would be senseless, I think.

As for the larger Fox News, the right approach would be to not watch. They'll respond if hit in the pocketbook. They are clearly the news with a Republican slant, but much of the time it's not as overtly biased as I think the critics believe.

The opinon shows are another beast, of course. With Fox, I'm more worried about their entertainment-driven blend of news and tabloid gossip. Among the major news networks, they lead the way in dumbing down their coverage of the news. Shepard Smith is a major offender on this front. Greta van Susteren, too. On the other hand, their debate broadcasts and analyses have been pretty good.

I think a lot of religious conservatives felt their viewpoints on issues were not adequately covered (or respected) by the other networks, and they were probably right. Having Fox's voice in the mix is not inherently a bad thing, but I think taking any opinion as "gospel" from only one news source is inherently risky. Go online. Read the Fox story, the Guardian story, the CNN story, and the BBC story. Take the average of all viewpoints, and you're probably close to the truth. Conspiracy theories notwithstanding.
