All you have to do is watch Special Report and Fox News Sunday to see a solid wall of pundits (Barnes, Kristol, Kondrake, Williams, Liasson, etc.) in favor of amnesty and open borders and they are not even civil about it.

These clowns who live in gated communities in million dollar homes don’t ever hesitate in calling any of you who oppose ILLEGAL aliens as “yahoos”, “bigots”, “nativists” and every other race-based epithet they can think of.

What is sad is that after their daily tirades against those of us who strangely think the law should be followed, Brit Hume will come out and say “Fox News, Fair and Balanced!”

Yeah, right!

I stopped watching Special Report when Barnes and Kondracke started that spewing that stuff the last time. When was it, two years ago in February? I stopped watching in March of 2005.

I've felt for a while that Fox News is not fundamentally 'conservative' - it is fundamentally corporatist. It is also populist when that won't interfere with the business agenda. But in areas where conservatism and corporatism clash (like illegal immigration), corporatism wins.

For a long time, we've been told by the GOP party elite that there is no conflict at all between corporatism - the business side of the party - and traditional conservatism. Now, much of the time, that is perfectly true. But sometimes, like on this issue, the corporatist and conservative wings of the party end up clashing. It's a serious division within the party, and I don't know which wing will previal.

You’re right. FOX News isn’t what it was...
