Political snark of the day

Regarding the fact that Fox News will now have a front-row seat at the White House briefing room:

Fox News is a propaganda outlet, a detail everyone seems to know, but which is apparently impolite to say out loud. The network’s proponents will likely argue a front-row seat is warranted because Fox News has a lot of viewers. Perhaps. But Milli Vanilli sold a lot of records, and success didn’t make them legitimate recording artists.

The quote comes from Steven Benen at Political Animal; the emphasis is mine.
