Must-see TV -- Fox News-style

Two weeks ago, after Gen. David Petraeus' highly-anticipated congressional testimony, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq offered one "news" outlet an exclusive: the Fox News Channel. Tonight, the network will apparently return the favor with an hour-long hagiography.

At 9 pm ET on Saturday, Fox News will air a one hour special about the top commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, who recently argued in Congressional testimony that President Bush's "surge" in Iraq is working. The program, titled "American Commander: Gen. David Petraeus" and hosted by Jon Scott, will look at Petraeus' "life and times."

It's bound to be "fair and balanced," right?
