February 4, 2011 No CommentOverall the coverage of the ongoing protests against Hosni Mubarak in Egypt has been pretty good, but it's when journalists get around to offering their analysis that bias has crept in, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told Fox News's Steve Doocy on the February 4 “Fox & Friends.” Case in point, MSNBC's Chris Matthews comparing the Muslim Brotherhood with the Tea Party movement. “Mr. Bozell, he's shameless, isn't he?” Doocy asked.
