This is odd to me because I always saw him as on the right wing himself.

If Fox News would enforce a similar set of ethics, we could deprogram 100 million boomers

We're all getting programmed is the problem. But I agree ethics is maybe a good starting point.

The BBC made a mistake and their response shows that they strive to present information accurately and will not tolerate attempts at programming. That is a stark contrast to a network where misrepresentation of facts is the norm. I think it’s important to point out that distinction in the context of the “both sides are equally bad” narrative

Why are we comparing Fox News (aka "Crazy like Fox News" ;) ) with the BBC though? Compare CNN with Fox. I have to admit I'm not up to date on the latest in US media but at least CNN used to be non-stop bashing and misrepresentation just like Fox. Agenda has come before facts for US media for a long time and it's definitely not been one sided.
