Washington Post Columnist: Why don't honest journalists take on Roger Ailes and Fox News?

Heh. Gotta love this:
One question has tugged at my professional conscience
throughout the year-long congressional debate over
health-care reform, and it has nothing to do with the
public option, portability or medical malpractice. It is
this: Why haven't America's old-school news organizations
blown the whistle on Roger Ailes, chief of Fox News, for
using the network to conduct a propaganda campaign
against the Obama administration -- a campaign without
precedent in our modern political history?
I'm sure a Republican could quickly turn around the question
to read like this:
Why haven't America's news organizations blown the
whistle on NBC, CBS, ABC, The New York Times,
and The Washington Post for using their news outlets
to conduct a propaganda campaign against the Bush
administration--a campaign without precedent in our
modern political history?
