Another reason not to watch Fox

Fox News largely ignores stories about bullying, particularly LGBT bullying, according to a new report from Media Matters.

The report looked at the bullying-related stories that made the biggest recent headlines, such as Jamey Rodemeyer’s suicide, and compared how much air time different news stations devoted to the stories. Fox aired just one segment on Jamey, while CNN and MSNBC did “numerous stories” on him and on LGBT bullying in general.

In addition, Fox has obviously shown its bias by slamming anti-bullying measures in New Jersey, giving very little coverage to marriage equality in New York and the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and arguing against California’s recent FAIR Act.

Okay, if anybody wasn’t convinced that Fox is the devil of journalism, here you go. “Fair and balanced.” Right.
