I am puzzled by the question Jon Herby asked in his letter “Fox News & factual news” (Oct. 19, TribLIVE): “Does letter-writer Michael Bitterice include Fox News in his opinion of ‘factual news’?” In my letter ”Media’s bias is dangerous” (Oct. 16, TribLIVE), I offered no opinion on “factual news” since I accept as a given that factual news is a good thing.
My statement focused on bias in the media and was general and all-inclusive; I did not exempt or include any media organization by name. It made me wonder why he chose to single out Fox News. Why not CNN or MSNBC or any of the others?
However, my response to Mr. Herby’s question is: YES!
Michael Bitterice
