Fox News just got owned.

It's like when that playground bully at school who picked on all the kids for years finally gets a good hiding (well, kind of).

A shining example of news objectivity, something the BBC would be proud of... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pv8aleMDiE The 20-second clip has made Wiener a bit of a hero in his home city, as well as across liberal America. Wiener, who admitted he was happy to talk to any news organisations - liberal or conservative - told Think Progress: "There is such a deep seated frustration with Fox News and the fringe it represents." He added that Fox News is a “propaganda machine, nothing more and nothing less." Well, that's them told.
