The Civil Rights Movement (pictured left), WWII, the Inquisition, the Boston Tea Party... WWFR (What Would Fox Report)?

The "Fox is biased" drumbeat, while true, can devolve into meaningless white noise after a while. Here's the antidote... a hilarious and sometimes insightful series provides some context for Fox's lips-to-the-buttocks-of-power reportage.

One Bill O'Reilly Talking Points segment reads:

"Slavery is essential for a healthy agrarian economy. Mr. Lincoln seems to forget that. He should remember where the cloth for his suits comes from -- cotton from the prosperous South."
