The logo of FOX News is “Fair and Balanced Reporting.” This was certainly on display this evening when the topic of bombing all the Muslim countries of the Middle East into the stone age was the topic of discussion. On one side of the “debate” was Senator Lindsey Graham. On the other side was John Bolton. The bone of contention during the debate was whether or not the U.S. government should carpet bomb the entire country of Iran now, or wait until after doing the same to Syria first. Fair and Balanced: You Decide.
