Columnist at former News Corp publication admits paper was "cheerleading for Scott Brown." Will Fox News do the same?

January 25, 2010 11:02 am ET by Karl Frisch

Boston Herald columnist Margery Eagan offered a rare bit of candor this weekend on CNN's Reliable Sources saying, "my paper was pretty much cheerleading for Scott Brown."

A conservative newspaper, the Herald was once owned – SURPRISE – by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

I wonder if Fox News Channel will do the right thing and confess to its own "cheerleading" for Brown.
