Cavuto's double game

This article from Media Matters is a classic example of the games that the media bias warriors play:

On Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto complained that "the media is all over" the alleged Haditha killings but that there has been "virtually no coverage of the daily savage attacks by insurgents on Iraqi civilians and our troops." Onscreen text during the segment read: "Blatant Bias?" But Cavuto has previously alleged that "all you see in the media out of Iraq are the insurgent activity, our soldiers getting killed or hurt." In fact, he recently asked if "beheadings and roadside bombs, suicide attacks" in Iraq are "being blown out of proportion by the media." Onscreen text during this segment read: "Media Bias?"

We are at war with Eurasia, we have always been at war with Eurasia.

We are at war with Eastasia, we have always been at war with Eastasia.

Are you saing that the Media Matters report is similar to the games you claimed MRC and FAIR played?

The Media Matters report seems to be saying that Cavuto took mutually inconsistent positions.

While Media Matters clearly has an outlook, that outlook doesn't in any way invalidate the point of what you quoted, which doesn't appear to draw a conlcusion.

In this case, I'm actually grouping Cavuto, not Media Matters, with FAIR and MRC.
