Orson Scott Card is a Democrat and one of the most decorated science fiction authors of all time -- winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula awards. He also writes for his local alternative paper, the Rhinoceros Times of Greensboro, NC. His basic politics = Henry "Scoop" Jackson Democrat.
Today, Card has a piece on Opinion Journal.com that responds both to the ridiculous "documentary" Outfoxed (albeit indirectly) and the media as a whole.
Here's your excerpt:
Fox News Channel . . . claims to have only one bias--it is definitely pro-American--and it presents all the facts and every viewpoint and leaves the decision up to the viewer . . .
What makes the liberal bias in the mainstream media so pernicious is that they deny that they're biased and insist that their twisted version of events is "reality," and anyone who disagrees with them is either mentally or morally suspect. In other words, they're fanatics. And, like all good fanatics, they're utterly convinced that they're in sole possession of virtue and truth.
