Sean's the boss. He steers the direction of his show. If he had the slightest discord with Rove, et al, you'd hear it when he speaks with them, but you don't. It's always, "Coming up in our next segment, Karl Rove, The Architect", or, "Our good friend, Senator Sell-Out", etc.
I'm sorry, but his best friends are RINOs, and they're always on his show, week in and week out. I don't know how Levin stays friends with the guy.
Yeah, I am not looking to excuse him although I would bet he by contract has to use the FOX News contributors like Rove every so often. But I really don’t know, and like you I can’t see how he can chum up to Rove and remain friends with Levin. It causes me to suspect them all, but having read Levin’s books I truly do think Mark is what he appears to be.
I've started to wonder about that myself.
If he wouldn't have Michelle Malkin or Brent Bozel on his show, it would be a GOP-E love fest.
Years ago I would defend Sean on FR, but I was wrong, I admit it.
