They also fought it today with minimal, biased coverage. I compared the Google trends search volume of the headline stories that were shown today on the major news sites. SOPA was easily 2-3x more searched than any other headline, yet it barely showed up as a blip on sites like FOX News.
Fox, my daily dose of US Corporatist Christian bias, had the blackout as the main article on their site. The coverage was not particularly unreasonable.
If you think Fox is the most biased news network, you clearly aren't watching any of the others. I say this not in defense of Fox, but because news coverage with slant in some direction is positively ubiquitous.
If you think you're looking at something that's unbiased, it's only because that news outlet matches your own world view more closely.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's impossible to produce news that's entirely without bias. So I wish they'd stop pretending to be even-handed, and just come clean with what their editorial views are. It would make our job of filtering a lot easier.
