Today News Corpse is premiering a new feature called Fox Goggles. It will feature newsworthy stories that are reported elsewhere in the press but ignored by Fox News. These will usually be stories that are either favorable to liberals or not sufficiently disparaging to them. You know, the sort of information that Fox editors and viewers are afraid face head on. And as a consequence of their fear and bias their vision is impaired as if attempting to see through lenses that distort reality.<\/p>\n

In this inaugural edition there are three stories that ought to be of interest to news consumers, but that are in Fox’s prodigious blind spot. First, while Fox trumpets loudly every downtick in Obama’s popularity, they almost never report when his numbers rise. Today Gallup’s tracking polls show both that Obama’s favorability has cracked 50%…<\/p>\n

\"Obama<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

…and that he is leading in the first of their surveys of the general election matchup with Mitt Romney:<\/p>\n

\"Obama-Romney\"<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

Also on Fox’s radar is the run-up in gas prices. For many weeks this year Fox has closely monitored this critical indicator of economic and electoral well-being. They have declared that it may be the primary factor in determining whether Obama is reelected. That is, until the numbers started turning positive for Obama. In that past three weeks gas prices have dropped more than 2%:<\/p>\n

\"Gas<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

None of these stories have made it through Fox’s filter yet today. They are very closely guarding their audience to insure that they never get any information that might allow them to make informed decisions on their own. News Corpse will continue to report on these matters as the campaign season unfolds. Until then, strap on your Fox Goggles, it’s going to be a biased ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
