I’m sorry but how does that prove they are unbiased? Or let me rephrase, how does it make any of the news agencies (fox included) biased for headlining one story over another? They are just targeting their audience.

It has nothing to do with audience targetting. The other networks aren’t even reporting on it. Targetting an audience means putting certain things on the homepage but still reporting on the rest. CNN/MSNBC/etc aren’t even reporting this. At all. You can’t find it anywhere on their website. That’s not targetting an audience, that’s burying a story you don’t like.

I’m talking about actual articles, you’re talking about commentator and opinion sections. Commentators don’t represent the networks or, necessarily, facts. Take a look at the italicized text at the bottom of that article.
