Fox News Channel (FNC) has hired former CBS News correspondent Marvin Kalb as a Fox News analyst. FNC host Bill O'Reilly was a student of Kalb's at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School, where he earned a masters degree in public policy. Kalb is now a Senior Fellow at Harvard University's Shorenstein Washington Program.
In addition to his regular appearances on FNC, Kalb showed up as the moderator of an ACLU "Town Hall Meeting on NSA Surveillance" on February 20, where he ventured the paranoid "suspicion" that the NSA spying program against al Qaeda is really going after "political opponents" of the Bush Administration. He offered no evidence for this fantastic claim.
And I thought it was the Bush Administration that was trying to scare people.
The event turned into a Democratic Party campaign event, as panelist John Dean, the former Nixon official who has gone way over to the left, said he hoped that a "light bulb goes off" and that the American people "go to the polls and make a decision" to throw out the Republicans in Congress this year.

Their ratings were down 10% in Feb. They continue on this path and they can count on this trend continuing.
FoxNews seems to be in a retro mode. They've been digging up some oldies from the 70s and 80s.
They've joined forces with America's enemies and we can turn them OFF and not help them further that agenda.
Who's next? Bill Moyer?........
I thought Marvin Kalb to be retired/dead years ago.
And don't you just LOVE how they give Greta spots their other shows to tell us about her show that nobody watches anyway.
Brit Hume is probably the best newscaster around. I really admire Fred Barnes, but honestly I do not get what is happening to FOX.
Democrats never die. How else do they keep voting?
If Fox News keeps this up, there will be real parity among the cable news networks - sooner than later!
What on earth can FOX be thinking? Kalb is as left as they get.
Fair and Balanced, You Decide is what they pitch. They are not the RNCs propaganda tool, they are not responsible for putting out conservative talking points. But, by having both sides presenting the story it gives people a chance to decide for themselves what they want to believe. You simply don't get that anywhere else.
Frankly, that's all you can ask for.
There's only three anchors worth watching on Fox, anymore: Neil Cavuto, John Gibson, and Brit Hume.
I thought Marvin Kalb to be retired/dead years ago.........He is, just hasn't accepted it yet.
I don't understand why some are complaining. Doesn't this make FNC truly fair and balanced? How many consrvatives do you see on ABC, CBS, CNN,NBC and MSNBC? Very few
The only reason I had cable was to watch FOX. I don't have cable anymore................
The more FOX slides, the more we watch sports. My husband was never a sports fan but he's really getting into it.
