Imagine that: Fox unfair and imbalanced

David Shuster, reporter who left Fox News for MSNBC, where he works on the "Hardball" show, explains wy he decided to make a move after six years at Fox, the "Fair and Balanced" network:

From his hometown paper, the Bloomington IN Herald-Times:

He went on to recount his six-year tenure at Fox. "At the time I started at Fox, I thought, this is a great news organization to let me be very aggressive with a sitting president of the United States (Bill Clinton)," Shuster said. "I started having issues when others in the organization would take my carefully scripted and nuanced reporting and pull out bits and pieces to support their agenda on their shows.

"With the change of administration in Washington, I wanted to do the same kind of reporting, holding the (Bush) administration accountable, and that was not something that Fox was interested in doing," he said.
