There are networks whose model is the same as Fox News but push a liberal agenda. Once again free enterprise and freedom of speech are in play with them as well.

One has the ability to pick and choose what media sources they choose to watch...freedom of choice comes into play.
the outrage is all over their "fair & balanced" headline. it's fine if they want to be the front for republican news and support, but don't claim to be fair and balanced when you have an agenda. they are directing people's opinions by presenting only one viewpoint under the cover that they are presenting the full picture, which they are not.
