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???

"Lori Dhue is slightly left, but I'll forgive her since she is so babelicious."

Amen brother FReeper! I second that emotion!

[fieldmarshaldj]

And, IIRC, Greta is Sen. Joseph McCarthy's goddaughter (!) Maybe he dropped her on her head (it sure would explain that strange-shaped mouth of hers).

[peyton randolph]

Greta and her husband are high level members of Scientology. Their primary residence is in a Florida community that is comprised of those with bucks who support Scientology. Her husband made the cash as an ambulance chaser. He has had large cases, including victims of the Bhopal, India disaster. He makes John Edwards look like a pauper by comparison. Naturally, Greta and her husband are Democrats.

"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."

I agree.

She is now shopping around for her next years worth of shows
with the double murder in California. She adds nothing
to the national discourse. I'm really tired of that gang of lawyer whores she trails around behind her too.

Yes, I don't know how I forgot him. Major ... Garrett? (forgot last name) and LaJeunesse are two more I like to hear from...Also Stuart Varney.

Fox News Bill O'REILLY HIT WITH SEX HARASS SUIT

QUOTE:

"According to the Kerry for President campaign, News Corp. President and chief operating officer Peter Chernin has endorsed the Democratic presidential candidate. News Corp. owns Fox News Channel."

"That would put Chernin in the ranks of some other Kerry-supporting media executives, including Barry Diller, Kirk Kerkorian (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.) and Harvey and Robert Weinstein, who backed the release of Michael Moore's controversial anti-Bush documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11.

____________

"News Corp. owns Fox News Channel." . . and Bill O'Reilly, and Hannity and Colmes. Is it any wonder direct posting from FoxNews is on the "No-No" list?

CNN - The Name You CANNOT Trust

[Rastus]

The best two Shep Smith moments were when Elian landed in Cuba and when Gary Graham was executed. The former, he was saying, "Those planes you see would be mothballed in America, but they're state-of-the-art for Cuba. Really held together with twine at this point." He was really laying into the communist system there. For Graham, Fox was covering the protest outside during his execution. He laid out in detail the crime Graham had committed. "You won't hear this from his supporters."

Outside of that, he's hot and cold. I usually don't watch him.

[mict42]

He's our smarmy! What's wrong with that?

[libs_kma]

Good post! I've often wondered if I had guessed some of the right as well! I think Edie, on Fox & Friends in the morning is a closet lefty, but my wife doesn't think so. That may just be a difference in the way her and I see it, but I've suspected its a Man/Woman perspective...thing.

[SoDak]

I'd have to say Brit Hume is the best anchor on TV right now.

[bullzeye66]

Brit #1, love this guy... very giddy after the returns, you could see it all over his face.
of course Sean... although sometimes, he goes overboard and repeats himself... I prefer his talk show.
Alan.... need I say more!
O'Reilly... I just don't know what to make of him, he pisses me off sometime, but I can't help but watch.
Barnes... love him, my favorite show is Brit's show with his panel at the end, all the way right.
Kondrake.... left, but I like him... you could just see how he must've hated sKerry.
Juan.... don't like him, left as they come.
Greta... I listen, but can't stand to watch her... something wrong with her mouth. I'm not sure of pol. side.
Shep... don't know what to think, but he's [just] OK
And I really like the other guy on Brit's panel, forget his name... he's in a wheelchair, he was not impressed with pony boy Edwards' remark after Reeve's death!

Anyway, that's my take... and I'm sticking to it! :)

[clee1]

Yeah...

I can watch her when the wife's at home. My eyes glaze over and I can't stop staring at those incredible lips...

[clee1]

I think you're wrong about Edie Hill. She's a righty.

[clee1]

I think you're wrong about Edie Hill. She's a righty.

[SoDak]

I think it was because he knew he had to spend time talking to Estrich. I'd get a bit snippy about that too.

[peyton randolph]

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

Brit is an old chum of Kerry. Like Gore and some of the Bush family, they attended the same private prep school (St. Albans). Brit has mentioned this before on FNC.

[Rastus]

Colonel Hunt, however, is a big disappointment.

[clee1]

can = can't

[peyton randolph]

Hill is an admitted Texas Democrat (moderately conservative) who supports Bush.

[Artemis Webb]

I really think a far more important question is which FOX news babe would you rather see in a short skirt and tight blouse.
