We have to thank Media Matters for putting us on the scent. They have been publishing articles attacking Fox News for interviewing this candidate or that too many times for their liking. Last week they were concerned over the fact John Kasich has appeared on Fox nine times since announcing his candidacy (on June 1 2009). Similarly, MM complained that in the space of one year, Rand Paul made ’21 appearances’ on Fox. The number is a bit misleading, since when you subtract spots on Fox Business Network or online, it turns out to be 10 appearances on FNC. Still, it’s cited by MM to demonstrate that Fox ‘jumped to his cause’.
While researching our response to the MSNBC challenge, we couldn’t help but notice a pattern. It seemed like one name kept recurring: Alan Grayson (D). Is it possible that MSNBC has been ‘promoting’ Grayson in the same manner that MM claims Fox was pushing Kasich and Paul?
Alan Grayson organized his re-election committee on April 1 2009. He may not have started active fundraising at that point. But by October his campaign was up and running. He promoted his re-election website on Hardball (October 2 2009), Rachel Maddow (October 19), and again on Hardball (October 22). In each case he discussed his fundraising and gave out his website URL; in two of the three appearances he told viewers that he was doing a ‘money bomb’. Based on this it seems fair to start our count with October 2009 (even though that’s four months after Media Matters started counting Kasich appearances).

No wonder he’s losing!! [snort!]
PMSNBC may heart the malodorous Grayson, but after he loses, if he wants to be on that warped network, he’s going to have to ramp up the rhetoric a bit. He seems a bit too toned down for them.
I mean, could this Grayson get his foot any farther down that idiot mouth of his?
Well, Fox can't force democrats to come on. I've noticed, especially on Neal Cavuto, the Fox host will say they invited the dem candidate, but they couldn't make it. I think any of the hosts on Fox News would love to have Grayson or any of the other dem candidates on. Fox holes are just to scary for some people.
More like “Lennie” in “Of Mice and Men.”

100% chance that he will become on of the following when he gets stomped:
Another ratings impaired MSNBC Host
Progressive talk radio’s 1000th failed “Liberal Rush Limbaugh”
A Code Pink, MoveOn, or similar “community organizer.” There will be a trip to see old Hugo in Venezuela.
Nailed this one. Trust me. When Grayson loses to Webster, he'll be a host on MSNBC by February. He's a hero to the freaks over at DUmmieland.
His ego will never be contained to blogs.
No, I think he has neanderthal DNA. Really - take a good look at him.
He’ll be working there in January.
