Fair and Balanced Moment of the Day

With breaking news that Gonzales had knowledge of Patriot Act abuses prior to testifying that he had none, FOX News.com places the story below the major headlines with stories like "Woman Charged With Attacking Husband With Fork". This is significant breaking news and they attempt to hide it among the "also making news".

Surely the stories that made FOX's headlines must have been comparable stories, right? One article asks "Is She On Ecstasy" and is about a little girl in a video rolling her eyes into the back of her head. Another reads "U.S. Officials: Some Progress Made in Iraq". According to U.S. officials we've been making "progress" for four years. Unbelievable. Tabloid journalism at its finest.
