Yeah. Ever notice the "Republicans" the MSM goes to in the name of balance? Carlson, who is primarily a Libertarian; Kevin Phillips who hates the Bush family; Buchanan who hates everybody; George Will with his silly bow tie and bazarre takes on the news; and David Gergen who served time as the house Republican in the Clinton White House; and don't forget David Brooks, the NYT's idea of an editorial page Republican.
And they call this balance.
His blaming Bush for Katrina was a total suck up to the MSNBC suits.
Perfect response! I'm going to use that in my arguments with my friends about media bias...with your permission, of course!
Regarding:
Pat Buchanan
George Will
David Brooks
None of the three above should be trumpeted as spokesmen for the conservative movement, but IMO they are all deserving of respect for insights related to conservatism.
David Gergen doesn't belong in this list. Dependably left-wing - when the MSM puts him on as some sort of Republican, it is sheer folly.
The MSM doesn't understand conservatism and doesn't want to try, but I have a funny feeling there is no pundit they could pick for "balance" that would make everyone happy.
