1. Big Journalism is shocked, shocked to discover that the Murdoch family's Fox "News" is a completely partisan propaganda outlet, spewing lies and injecting poison into our civic bloodstream.

2. Big Journalism has known this for many years. The sudden surprise is a pretense that only highlights the way the craft has treated -- will continue to treat -- Fox as if it had a shred of legitimacy.

3. Big Journalism will be shocked, shocked the next time a court case reveals what was already known.

@dangillmor How needlessly cynical, Dan. There's a difference between knowing something and having the ability to publish detailed and specific information based on legal proceedings, particularly when those proceedings stand a pretty good chance of disrupting that model.
