Which Fox News anchors/reporters/pundits/hosts do you think are really, sincerely right-leaning? (VANITY)

We probably all prefer Fox News over CNN, CNBC, the network news shows, etc.

But I was wandering as I was watching the election night coverage and Brit Hume seemed so giddy with excitement when Bush started to pull away - what are the true political leanings of the Fox News staff?

My take:

Bill O'Reilly - Basically a slightly left-leaning Libertarian redeemed by a belief in a vigorous American foreign policy and a sneering content for the MSM

Brit Hume - love the guy....with us 100%, I believe...I LOVED the way he interacted in such an over-the-top way with Susan Estritch on election night basically wiping her face with Kerry's loss....

Fred Barnes - same as Brit, 'red' to the core....but fair and honest in his analysis..

Shep Smith - seems to also take glee in Democratic pain but not so sure....his very patriotic stances make me think he's one of us, though...

Sean Hannity - no issues with Sean....

Morton Kondracke - middle of the road leftie but fair....

Greta Van Susteren - big time left winger if I had to guess...

Juan Williams - leftie....no doubt about it....

What do you all think???

I wish Rita would stop that stupid pouty lips pursed thing she does, it makes her look dumb.

I turn it off when she comes on.

Whatever you say.

I'm a guy, I can't help it....
Must have never noticed anything Martha said.

p.s. you can have Greg if I get Linda ;-p

[processing please hold]

I do too. I won't watch her.

How is gretta van susteren still on television. How anybody can go on national television and discuss Laci Peterson's dead fetus for an hour and live with themselves is beyond me

she is rarely given a political assignment. good thing.

Tony Snow is a definite. After all, he was a speech writer for Bush Sr.

p.s. you can have Greg if I get Linda ;-p

Why do I get the feeling that neither would give a hoot about either of us? I guess since you can use the old "I'm a guy, I can't help it" excuse, I'll attribute my "feeling" to "women's intuition". LOL

Sing it with me, FL_engineer: "I like dreamin'..."

He seemed wryer than usual and a little irritable on election night, which surprised me a bit. Maybe he was just tired.

he worked a long shift. i especially liked it when about 2am a "klunk" was heard. britt mumbled something about the makeshift election night table starting to fall apart...(not as good as his treatment of susan ostrich, however)

[ladyinred]

I agree with you for the most part. I am not so sure Shep is right leaning. He was pretty hard on the President the other day during the election. Juan is so left he has to turn left to go left.

[mlocher]

Colonel Hunt, however, is a big disappointment.

colonel hunt does not belong on tv. i think he gets the assignments that general vallely can't make.

[mlocher]

Greta... I listen, but can't stand to watch her... something wrong with her mouth. I'm not sure of pol. side.

greta reminds me of the old "clutch cargo" cartoons.

I've never seen Molly doing financial stuff, and i don't see anything in her bio that says she's ever done any financial reporting. It all looks like its been political.

I remember her often doing the Crawford TX coverage, and the guys back in the studio in Manhattan could easily get her giggling. She was pretty cute.

[mlocher]

I just love it when Juan Williams loses it.

so, what is it like living a life of perpetual joy?

[mlocher]

Actually, I think Carl Cameron leans to the right. He almost got kicked off the Ketchup Boy campaign when some test filler in a story he was writing was accidentally published, because it was NOT flattering stuff.

i don't care what his political leanings are, carl has earned a long vacation.....

[mlocher]

Brit Hume's first comment after the Cheney/Edwards debate was that Cheney looked "old".

i remember him redeeming himself by saying that the world needs more grumpy old men like cheney

"i remember him redeeming himself by saying that the world needs more grumpy old men like cheney"

LOL yeah and further redeeming himself (in a big way) when he called Ohio for Bush!! He's ok in my book :)

[k2blader]

Brit made the comment that they should not have to pay whoever was providing the exit polls to them.

Did he really? He's right! *LOL*

[k2blader]

Thanks for your interesting post. Somehow I actually missed Estrich being there. She has always seemed a bit "wobbly" to me, mentally and physically. *LOL*

Julian makes no sense -- he quotes the Bible and pulls for the party that murders babies.
