Fox News Channel is a lightning rod in the debate over media bias.

Using the method of non-reporting, the Fox News Channel broadcasts failed to mention the ACLU's involvement in Michigan where the group sued on behalf of a Baptist minister who was unconstitutionally denied a permit to conduct baptisms at a lake operated by the Department of Natural Resources.
