‘Aha!’ cry Media Matters and Jonathan Chait.

Fox News Washington editor Bill Sammon sent out an email last year telling reporters not to use the term “public option.” Proof of Fox News’s bias, as Chait and Media Matters claim, or proof of good editing? I think the latter, for the simple reason that “public option” is a ridiculously vague term that means nothing to most Americans. Public option? Huh? What is it I get to opt for?
