Fair and Balanced Reporting

I saw two reports about Hillary Clinton signing copies of her book Living History at a Manhattan bookstore. CNN reported that people started lining up at 9pm last night to get one of the 250 wristbands that would get them in to get their books signed. FoxNews was outside the same bookstore and said that only 250 people showed up and then showed footage of Howard Stern at the same bookstore ten years ago when 10,000 people showed up and they "had to close Fifth Avenue." "We Report. You Decide."

The Fox "reporter" also had two people who had just come out of the book store with their signed copies of the book. He asked them how much of the book was truthful, "50%, 70%, 80%?" Then he ended with "don't buy the book, stay home and keep the TV on." Fair and Balanced? Hmmmmm.
