Proof of the conservative 'liberal bias' fantasy?
Glenn Beck’s future, and Fox News Channel’s without him
Reader A:
I must object to your slant. … Glenn was treated badly and handled the situation with dignity. As for your report of the incident, all you have done is report your opinion, not the truth. This is my last day to use yahoo. I have always felt that there was no honest and reliable journalism at yahoo and you have convinced me...
