With UN, Fox doesn't even have to pretend to be fair or balanced
What safer ground for the flagwaving, facepunching Fox cheerlearders than UN bashing? With respect to the Bush speech at the UN, the Fox commentator interviews---try to guess. Try.

Ginsberg. Who? You know, the republican election lawyer who quit because of his contacts with the swift boat liars. Expertise? Republican stalwart!

So the interviewer asks if it isn't ironic that Bush is talking about a war on terror to the very countries that aid terrorists, and Ginsberg says "that's a little rough", and the interviewer says Ginsberg is being too kind? "And how will this speech help Bush build an even larger coalition against terrorism"?

My feeling is that Fox naturally considers that the UN is like Alqaeda, in that you just side with Bush against evil and shut your pie hole.
