http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel_controversiesEvery Fox news broadcast I watched over a two-day period (Fox Report, O'Reilly, Hannity, Van Susteren, their morning program, all played the Hank Williams Jr clip you mention (comparing Obama to Hitler) and laughed about how ridiculous a comparison it was. Basically saying "this is why we don't take celebrity political opinion seriously."
So, now the story is that FoxNews used Hank Jr. as fodder and denigrated him and his opinion as laughable and ridiculous to prove Gretchen's point about Rosie O'Donnell and other celebrities. Way to jump from hypocrisy to real "class act" there. That's the kind of rationalization that would make Wanky proud.
Further, this is also totally disputed by the frequent appearance of celebrities/sports stars talking politics on--at the very least--Hannity's Great American Panel.
I watch Fox fairly regularly along with MSNBC and other news outlets. Face it, Fox is just as biased as any of those organizations. It takes far too much willful ignorance or plain stupidity to argue otherwise.
Lastly, let's have a look at the recent dust up around Robert Jeffress. He was great to have on Fox when pushing the Obama is a secret muslim stuff and the "war on Christmas." But, he speaks his mind about a lot of Christians views on Mormonism and gets marginalized and accused of attacking someone's religion. Glad it matters when he is talking about a GOP frontrunner.
Totally fair and balanced.
