Fox News: Too Fair And Balanced?

Where else can you catch such luminaries of the Left as Katrina vanden Heuvel, David Corn, and Eric Alterman on a regular basis? You hardly see these people on television, yet Fox has apparently decided to give the entire staff of the far-left Nation magazine a platform to spew their anti-American invective. The more moderate Juan Williams, Mara Liasson, and the annoyingly plastic Flavia Colgan are also part of Fox`s liberal stable of commentators.

I'm hoping FoxNews is just trying to show Americans the liberal "disease" up close by putting these complete *sses on. But personally, I wish they'd get rid of them all.

Just tell the truth, I don't need to see the idiocy of the left.

"Fair and Balanced" -- how about true and sincere...... all the time?

Great post. I'm in 100% agreement that Fox is blowing it by not offering the same situation that the MSM does in reverse. They should put up a conservative and an ARCH conservative on commentary panels, and occasionally let in a moderate for 'balance.'

Instead they go overboard and put lots of moderates and leftists out. Fox still skews left like the MSM, it's just LESS left. Sort of like the GOP and the Rats.

The problem with Fox is that it has become just a little too fair and balanced. Where else can you catch such luminaries of the Left as Katrina vanden Heuvel, David Corn, and Eric Alterman on a regular basis?

You can't buy better laughs! I especially love the segments when Brit Hume slowly demolishes Juan Williams' latest liberal codswallop. This guy needs to lighten up -- they only have the leftist loons on so we can all have a few yuks at their expense.

Colorado Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo, who`s become a popular figure among conservatives for his dedication to this issue, is a frequent guest on Dobbs`s show, but rarely appears on Fox.

Tancredo is more loved by the Robery KKK Byrd Klan than anyone in the conservative camp.

This article should be required reading at Fox.

Did you forward this to them?

The more you see of them,the more you wonder what in the world makes anyone want to asociate their beliefs and lifestyle with people like them. Just the thought of being stuck beside vanden Huevel or Ellis Hennekin on a four hour flight makes my skin crawl.

Yes their beliefs are sick. See this!

He has to do it slowly, so Juan will understand, plus Brit is trying real hard not to make poor Juan cry.

LIke many people, I don't need to hear from liberals on Fox. They're propaganda is forced in my face in every facet of life. Every statement is narcissitic, and a lie. We need a channel with the conservative viewpoint only in a laughing at libs format while explaining the truth (ala Laura Ingraham). Have a casual roundtable format with Gingrich, Coulter, Malkin, Sowell, etc. Fox News political coverage would disapear in a week.

If Fox News is the worst thing this writer has to moan about she's not paying attention.

With all the cable channels....I wonder why a real balance to the Old York Times, LA Slime, and the rest of the hacks has yet to be birthed? I agree that a far right network would be welcomed......

To let a liberal/democrat/socialist/sub-human have airtime to spew lies and ridiculous distortions is not being "fair and balanced". It's being a co-conspirator. I don't see why FOX seems to think they must present the mental masturbation of any of these people to their viewer-ship.

I watch FOX for news reports and ignore their chatter-time programing.

Actually, these particular people appear regularly on MSNBC.

"Well, there's still Iran and North Korea, don't forget. There's still hope for the rest of us ... There's always hope that this might not work."

Very sick. I saw the clip of her saying this. I believe there was a small degree of humor intended in it. But it is the larger degree of significant underlying meaning that is so indicative and disgusting. They all FEEL that sentiment, she just SAID it.

Great post, I’m in total agreement.
Fox has become the 24/7 celebrity justice channel.

There was a time when FOX News was the only thing I would watch on TV.
Then, I began watching it with the sound off (captioned).
Lately, I have stopped watching TV altogether, except for a rare History channel program here and there.

I know KvH is an adamant conservative-hating, lfty, socialist Marxist, but she looks like she would get excited over different matters. ;-)
