On the September 3 broadcast of his radio show, Savage Nation, nationally syndicated right-wing host Michael Savage spewed homophobic vitriol, stating that “radical homosexuals” and “radical Islamists” are “one and the same, they're all terrorists.” Minutes later, Savage praised FOX News Channel as “the best we have.”

Savage is not alone in his praise of FOX News Channel. Vice President Dick Cheney is on the record plugging FOX News Channel; Media Matters for America has extensively documented the network's numerous distortions.
