Then you have a media watchdog which often seems like its left hand (the predominant one, I guarantee it) doesn't know what its right hand is doing. Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR, at "http://www.fair.org/") wants to know why the mainstream press isn't reporting about why Henry Kissinger didn't answer questions regarding his role in helping former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinoche murder thousands of Chilean dissidents after seizing power over Salvador Allende in the early 1970s on the one hand (which is also a big issue in the libertarian organs), and why they want FOX News to stop defending "the conservatives" (ie., the Republican party) at every turn vs. the liberals (that is, FAIRs darlings on the left), and being so "biased" (read: not left wing enough). Funny how FAIR only defends free dom of speech when it is spoken by a leftist (all except the libertarian leftists like Alexander Cockburn of "http://www.counterpunch.com/"). And, just to be fair (no pun intended), the same criticism has to go to Brent Bozell's Media Research Center, at "http://www.mediaresearchcenter.org/", for playing conservative censor to FAIR's liberal censor.
