The Daily Show's Jon Stewart used a segment of his show to shred far-right Fox News commentator Bernard Goldberg for being the hypocrite that he is while posing as some kind of media analyst.
You can look at the video for yourself and draw your own conclusion. Following the video, however, I found myself rather intrigued as The O'Reilly Factor host Bill O'Reilly and Goldberg later appeared on the air to answer the video beat down Stewart issued for the far-right Goldberg. I read a headline some place that said something about Goldberg confessing that he was in fact wrong and caught red-handed with his blatant Fox News-style hypocrisy.
But, I should have known that Goldberg would not just take his whipping like a man and confess to the far-right bias of Fox News. Instead of just taking his ass whipping and atoning for his dishonesty, Goldberg bounced back and attacked Stewart and essentially whined about the comedian being a hypocrite for not taking on left wingers.
Goldberg, author of a book crying about the media's coverage of President Barack Obama, whining about someone not attacking their own is too laughable to be believed.

This video, picked up by Media Matters for America and News Hounds, is just a small taste of the right-wing bias on Fox News that maybe would not be so bad if the network was just honest about it.
