You are absolutely correct about some of the things Krauthammer has said. Much to my sorrow.
He has also on a fairly consistent basis articulated a conservative message. Your comments remind me of a troubling theory I had years ago.
Fox News could be the answer to the declining confidence in the MSM. The people required a source of news and propaganda that they could believe in again. Gradually Fox has drifted to the left.
I have no idea how to convince myself that Fox is really even handed in their mission. That is getting harder every day. I do know that Free Republic is a blessing as far as receiving news and opinion is concerned.
