Yes, Fox included. Not that I find their content particulary offensive, but if they spin the news then "bang". Same result. Report it is fine. Spin is not.
The only problem with Fox is they are one channel up against several others. I'd like to see a more even playing field.

And even Fox wasn't around then... just a bunch of network commentators telling us how bad the war was and how evil we were for being there, etc.
