You don't get to skate free of the moral responsibility for your action by saying that you weren't really that enthusiastic about it when you did it, because you still did it.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

I'm not sure how I'd rank Breitbart. It's certainly more biased than either, but at the same time it wears its partisanship so much on its sleeve that it's at least up front with what its biases are. MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN try to present themselves as nonpartisan, at least nominally, despite how skewed they are.
