Of course not. O’Reilly, we’re told, is a shameless political partisan whose shrieking demagoguery offends journalism. Surely liberals wouldn’t embrace someone like that at 8 p.m. Better pull Stewart aside and explain the difference before he persists with this nonsense about people being in the tank.
The knock on Colmes made me wince, not because it’s unfair but because it isn’t. Right or wrong, our favorite liberal is a dignified presence who’s suddenly contending for a job that is, per Stewart’s critique, inherently undignified. Maybe she’d change the dynamic, but the more centrist one is, the more unlikely that would seem. Be an attack dog and the left will love you; be fair and they’ll deride you as a stooge and a scarecrow for the conservative alpha male while the right forever grumbles that you’re still spouting too many talking points. It may be a lucrative job, but is it a good one? Word on the street is that some Foxies read this site; if so, how about putting her where she really belongs, on the “Special Report” panel with Krauthammer and Barnes? There are only two women there now, and based on the polls, it’s a safe bet she’d do as much for ratings as Whatshername and Whosthatagain.

90% Democrat MEDIA is just as funny as Joe Goebbels was in Germany in the 1930s as well as being just as harmful to America as Joe was to Germany. AND, none of America’s Democrat MEDIA scum has the TALENT of Leni Riefenstahl.

We spend WAY TOO MUCH time talking about the horrid FOX and it’s turn to the “dark side”! I want to talk about how Conservatives move forward, plan for a HUGE pushback in 2010, how we keep The Messiah in check. It’s a waste of band width to worry what the traitors at Fox or worse, the jerks at MSNBC do… Who cares, who watches? Part of the problem Conservatives have is NO VOICES, no action, no leaders… Someone to articulate the message, teach Conservatisam and hold The One accountable. Wasted thread!

I’m a solid conservative and listened while Hannity and the rest of his Ilk got their marching orders from the RNC! I’m bored with this act! Enough! Hannity can’t grasp more than three issues per election cycle and beats them to death…how did that work out for all you FOX Lackeys?

Kirsten Powers whether I agree with her or not is always a classy and articulate spokeswoman. She is everything that Olbermann, Matthews, et al are not.

You sound about as Conservative as Frank Rich.

Is tarted to dislike Hannity when he planted his lips on Pat Buchanan’s arse this summer with his “Congratulations my good friend on your new book ‘Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary war’ “.
