Right-leaning news is no cure for balance

Story tools:

In regard to the many citizens who view Fox News as the “perfect antidote” to liberal-leaning networks, I say two wrongs don’t make a right. How is news with a concerned conservative touch more fair and balanced than news stories that edge to the left?

The bottom line is, none of the shrill, biased talking heads are doing their jobs. They are not antidotes, cures for each other; they are foils, antagonists who spend more time gleefully reflecting shortcomings in opposing parties or making calculated exaggerations about said party’s members than informing the public of actual facts.
