What 'Fair & Balanced' really means

Finding fault with Fox News is like hunting deer with howitzers. It's way too easy and life's too short. But I couldn't resist this post by BuzzFeed documenting "Actual News Headlines" vs. "Fox News Headlines" on the same stories. The contrast is simultaneously hilarious and appalling.

Here's a sampling:

Mainstream Headline:
"USDA Gay-Sensitivity Training Sees Larger Audience"
Fox News Headline:
"Obama Bureaucrats Imposing Radical Homosexual Sensitivity Training?"

Mainstream Headline:
"Michele Bachmann's First Dude"
Fox News Headline:
"The Left Launches Attack on Bachmann's Husband"

Mainstream Headline:
"AP Poll: Economic Worries Pose New Snags for Obama"
Fox News Headline:
"AP: Obama Has a Big Problem With White Women"

Mainstream Headline:
"Obama Will Speed Pullout From Was in Afghanistan"
Fox News Headline:
"Obama Doesn't Thank Petraeus"

Wow. It'd be even funnier if it wasn't so sad.
