Last week, Fox News' Bret Baier was grilled by Jon Stewart regarding the network's "hard news" objectivity. And while Baier asserted its legitimacy, on tonight's Daily Show, Stewart unearthed some questionable (read: driving-the-narrative-via-baseless-opinion) statements by Baier's boss, Bill Sammon.

You know who's a real bastard? Bill Sammon, the Washington managing editor of Fox News. As the guy whose job it is to direct Fox News' political "coverage," we expect him to be a huge hypocrite about his own company, and to specifically direct his "news" anchors to use Republican talking points on various controversial issues. It kind of goes along with the job.

When we last saw Fox News' Washington managing editor Bill Sammon, he was sending his staff a memo telling them to stop saying "public option." What's he up to now? Sending staffers an email pooh-poohing global warming. Principled journalism alert!

An August 2009 e-mail from Fox News' Washington managing editor, Bill Sammon, ordered reporters to drop the term "public option" for "government-run plan" during the health care reform debate. Could Fox News have a right-wing bias?
