Senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett entered the White House vs. Fox News fray in an interview broadcast yesterday with CNN’s Campbell Brown. Asked by Brown whether Fox News is biased, Jarrett said, “Well of course they’re biased. Of course they are.” Then she laughed.
Then Brown asked whether Jarrett also thinks MSNBC is biased. Jarrett backtracked.
“I don’t wanna just generalize all Fox is biased, or that another station is biased,” she said. “I think what we want to do is look at it on a case-by-case basis.”
We are actually calling everybody out, so this isn’t anything that is simply directed at Fox.
Before saying that “of course” Fox News is biased, Jarrett said that “certainly if we see somebody distorting the truth, we’re gonna call them on the carpet for that” and that “when there’s all that chatter and distortion and false information, we have to distinguish between truth and fiction.”
