Fox News has been talking up guest worker-amnesty since last week. First, Fred Barnes shows how unconservative he really is. Next, Bill Kristol said today, he's for liberal immigration policy. Even Brit Hume was caught rationalizing how a guest worker program is not amnesty. And of course old Mort Kondracke is pushing for liberal amnesty at any cost. I'd say FoxNews is defintiely siding with Bush on this issue, BIGTIME!
Yeah, you're right wrt Fox. Tony Snow had a piece on his website admonishing everyone to "get the facts" and use "common sense". He quoted unattributed studies and a load of vague statements, and in short, proved he had definitely "drank the Kool-Aid" as one poster termed it. Hey, Rupert must want amnesty and Tony wants a job. I think we can count on Fox pumping the admin line on this issue.

I thought it was very weakly argued and posted a number of debunkings on that thread, but more importantly, it should be recognized as the indicator for how Fox is going to spin this issue. Let's just know that going in.
Fox does carry the water for the RINO side of theRepublican Party on the big issues. They were all for Dubai running the ports and they are for the Kennedy/McCain amnesty bill. I've seen more than enough of Lindsay Graham on Fox.
Conservatives have no national media outlet yet and must bankroll their own soon. When they do, Fox will really be hurting.
Yep. I turned off Fox News Sunday yesterday, it sounded like an ABCBSNBC rat only show...disgusting.
