140+ Fox News Bias videos at www.youtube.com When Fox News' senior national correspondent John Roberts, formerly of CNN, reported on hydraulic fracturing, sometimes called "fracking," during Fox News' supposedly straightest of straight news programs, "Special Report with Bret Baier" I was surprised at the coverage of the complaints of fracking victims but still found bias in the pro-business framing of the issue, the less than graphic explanation of fracking and its effects, and especially the failure to reveal the real the source of the "Halliburton loophole" exempting fracking from the Clean water Act, as I show in this video. The clips I use of Bret Baier and John Roberts come from a segment on the April 20, 2011, Fox News broadcast of "Special Report with Bret Baier" which I have not found available online but which is similar to the video and text at fxn.ws The clips I use of the 2010 documentary Gasland come from the Gasland Trailer available on YouTube at youtu.be The image I use of the November 2009 NY Times editorila titled "The Halliburton Loophole" comes from the webpage at nyti.ms The image I use of my own Fox News bias playlist comes from the YouTube playlist page at www.youtube.com
