Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting has issued a press release condemning Faux News for its selective outrage at comparisons of politicians to Hitler. As FAIR points out, Faux pitches a fit when Bush is compared to Adolf Hilter, but is silent when a Murdoch rag proudly published a comparison of Howard Dean to Hitler.

FAIR did miss one of the most egregious examples of Faux's double standard, namely Brit Hume accepting an award from the denizens of FreeRepublic.com, a site where the noun "Hitlery" is used more often than any other seven letter word.
