If a sitting U.S. Congressman was threatening to use “legislative avenues” to force CNN, The New York Times, CBS, Air America or any other private outlet to shed its liberal bias, the American left would be up in arms, crying censorship and decrying the abuse of the First Amendment. And they’d be right to do so.

Interesting, then, that 38 left-of-center members of Congress are trying to do that to Fox News Channel and not much is being said about it.

It strikes me as odd that liberals constantly have their panties in a bunch over Fox News, but they have absolutely no problem with the fact that virtually every other major media outlet tilts left. Why is it that they have so much trouble tolerating free speech for the one television outlet that doesn’t happen to share their view of the world?
