Fox News Accuses Itself of Liberal Bias

WASHINGTON--The Fox News Channel, often thought to be a mouthpiece for conservatives, turned its claws inward on Monday when it chastised itself for its own liberal biases.

Anchorman Brit Hume said that it was his journalistic duty to expose all traces of liberalism, even if that meant revealing his own seemingly innocuous character flaws. "To be fair and balanced, I owe it to our viewers to confess that sometimes while I'm smearing the names of honest men, I have a hint of guilt, not a lot, but a little," he said. "It's liberal guilt and I'm ashamed of it."

Hume then proceeded to tell viewers that if Democrats were to win in the congressional mid-term elections, they would likely celebrate by drowning Hefty bags filled with puppies.
