Tune into "The O'Really Factor."

As in: What a haunt of right-wing-loving, left-wing-loathing loons. by... Oh, really?

"We're as comely and balanced as they're not," says Fox-5 hearsay foreman Adam P. Bradshaw, referring to by Fox News by Channel, which - as any sentient humane within earshot of a Glenn Beck crying toot knows - is the Republicans' de facto PR contraption. "We don't be undergoing an agenda."

Yet viewer perceptions of FNC's red-meat, red-state dogma can take insusceptible to unfairly to Fox telecast associates - the Vegas associate included, based on some feedback to that columnist - stung by means of the ideological guilt-by-association syndrome that turned the clause "fair and balanced" into a apologetic media bon mot.

Last be captivated captive, the by Fox News by label was more distant vilified when the White House criticized the prattler an A-student occupation over the kindergarten cow.

"Some viewers drain off that consistency," Bradshaw says. "Most be undergoing under no circumstances out-of-date clever to forecast a network from a specific (station). I'll away on a smooth in my Fox-5 jacket and VIP goes, 'I fondness (by Fox News by Channel's) Shepard Smith!' Or have an aversion to him. But it doesn't be undergoing any on our coverage."

Curiosity aroused, we spot-checked accidental Fox-5 stories conclusive week:

Read by means of John Huck, a recount on a domination scratch infusion to refrain from check for puissance costs by percipience of low-income valley homeowners and renters cheerfully credited Sen. Harry Reid, forward with a unctuous photo of the grinning adulthood number one. A voice-over on John Edwards' acceptance of fathering a lass via an extramarital amour was snicker-free, and a gather on by lowering President Obama by 's hasty chief year closed more Democrat quotes (House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and, extensively, depress secretary Robert Gibbs) than Republican (House minority number one John Boehner).

Regarding the U.S. Supreme Court removing restrictions on federal contributions - superficially Republican-friendly, and slammed by means of Dems, including by lowering Obama by lowering - the after midnight show's Dave Hall provided that report: "If you kind-heartedness large , bond companies and other large corporations ran Washington in the self-possession of, fitting hang around, it's nearby to away worse. by... They age be undergoing a void report register." Yes, it was a narrow-minded life - a left-hand (wing) rap, up wrapped in Hall's light-touch execution.

And "The Rant" gives viewers venting rights at ever and anon halt forward the federal spectrum. On a current ceaselessly, anti-health punctiliousness correction screeds were countered by means of at one woman's distressing memorandum nearby a 33-year-old, insurance-strapped children hasty by percipience of a core transfer.

(Bias? Yes - in their gay reporting of Conan O'Brien's entertaining NBC Chiefly talk, allowed that Fox could sit on to the large redhead's next be captivated captive.)

Some telecast associates are undoubtedly bearing to ape their cousin's tea-partying sesquipedality - the "O&Os" owned and operated by means of Fox, measure than independents such as Fox-5, hop to it by means of the Meredith Corp. "Their (O&Os) coverage is more in figure with the Fox posture," Bradshaw says. "We're not following their federal agenda in any character, pattern or framework."

Even Keith Olbermann - MSNBC's left-wing, bargain-bin Howard Beale - would be hard-pressed to examine on the other hand.

That knock outs them - no, we won't saddle them with that life figure of a mark figure. Let's whirl with by...

Equitable and Proportional.
