Someone, please explain this to me. Donald Issa (R-CA), appearing on Fox News (a News Corp subsidiary) to explain why the House of Representatives won’t investigate the News Corporation hacking scandal:

Well, thank you for being fair and balanced… This is being looked at by the Justice Department. This is being looked at by the Senate, and we’re keeping and eye on it. But at the same time, this is a story about a unit in another country, and we want to make sure we don’t enter the ground that is most inappropriate for us, which is we don’t start picking on media whether they’re the left or the right just because we can.

But at least he can appreciate that Fox is ‘fair and balanced’!
