    Yes but Faux News will still tell us how great he is and what a wonderful job he is doing! Hummm, whose opinion is that? Not mine. Not anyone I know. Leads me to believe they are getting their facts from someone that is completely removed from the real America. Now who could that be?

    I prefer reading what the average Americans have to say about political issues on the internet.
    FORGET ALL those reporters, commentators, etc... They are only pushing their bias whether Bushbots or liberals.

    I have nothing wrong NK, the subject of the post was alleging FNC "is a lock, stock and barrel servant of the Republican party, devoted first and foremost to electing Republicans and defeating Democrats." The facts show clearly the mainstream media is devoted to electing Democrats and defeating Republicans, and the perception that FNC is an arm of the GOP "is not manifest in the data." That the facts don't support your claim is not my problem.

    I guess all those Democrats who refuse to go on the program have it wrong and you have it right. :rolleyes:

    Yep the Democrats refuse to go on many Conservative shows because they do not want to be hit with the hard questions. It is easier being asked questions that require answers that agree with your own party than being put on the spot.

    I think it is cowardly for them to refuse to debate on FOX. What are they afraid of ? The Republicans did on MSNBC with Chris Matthews as the moderator and no one in the punditry is more biased than Matthews.

    Or in the case of Hillary getting such hard hitting questions as " which do you prefer ;diamonds or pearls ? "

    I think what galls the liberals the most about Fox is not that they are not toeing liberal line, but they are successful and gasp, arrugh, making money doing it. How despicable.

    But honestly what woman can decide between pearls and diamonds? Even I would have to take both.

    Actually I think it's both. Tom just posted about how the left targeted Feinstein for not following their dictates, and he reminded us of what they did to Lieberman. Hillary has been under fire for not committing to an Iraq pull out, and Michael Moore flat out said if the new Democratic congress didn't adhere to their "demand the Democrats listen to us and get out of Iraq now" they would fight them "harder than we did the Republicans." For FNC to be successful is just fuel to the intolerant fire that's already burning.

    Whoops, I left out the worst part, giving the people what they want, instead of what is good for the collection of special interests passing themselves off as liberals.

    It seems as if you've never watched FNC... or any other network.

    CBS News: Caught in the Web

    Sex and CNN

    Gay Bathroom Sex From CNN

    And my favorite, Keith Olbermann Interviews Porn Star Mary Carey

    Don't you hate it when the facts don't support your claims?
