White House Communications Anita Dunn’s (who is stepping down at the end of the month) recent attacks on Fox News for being the “communications arm of the Republican Party” have only helped fuel more conversation about mass media and its liberal/conservative slants.

Well, here is a report that claims Fox News is indeed fair and balanced.  Apparently, Fox is harsh on Obama during the election season last year, but the controversial network treated McCain with almost equal numbers of negative comments.  And now that Obama has been in power for some time and the “presidential honeymoon” is over, other networks have joined Fox with their negative evaluations of the president.  It even seems possible that Fox is more fair and balanced than its competitors because it is harsh towards everyone, not just Republicans.
