[Vision2020] The Infamous Memo

[Paul Rumelhart]

I didn't say that the other networks shouldn't be fixing their biases.  
I'm just assuming that they are until I hear otherwise.  I don't have a 
problem with conservative viewpoints being on air.  I just don't want 
the actual reporting of news to be influenced by the politics of the 
people who own the station.  I know it's unrealistic, though, so I'm 
settling for having them simply moving towards that goal. 

I would assume that Fox News is moving that way too, except that this 
memo and other memos appears to show the opposite.
