[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

This is apparently news to everyone, but Fox News is not the media arm of the Republican party. They are entitled to throw hard questions at Republicans and are not obligated to keep any sort of golden rule. What is unique about Fox News is that we actually get an opportunity to tell our side. Thompson should have seen this as an opportunity to reply, not insult. What happens on other networks is that we don't even get a chance to reply.

Fox may not be perfect but they are a far cry better than any other news network.

In this primary election process FOX NEWS IS THE ENEMY, WORSE THAN THE NY TIMES, since the Slimes is given no trust by conservatives. After the GOP candidate is chosen, they will come to us on bended knee, since if they have no credence from us, they will have no base.

I guess you missed the interview. Thompson didn't insult anyone.

Boy, a big amen to that! I don't know what people expect. Fox is supposed to be "fair and balanced", and in order to have that reputation--- which I might add is far from what the libs think Fox is anyway--- we have to bite our collective tongues, and take the bitter with the sweet, so to speak. It is the only network I watch for news, and while there are times when I want to scream at them, when push comes to shove, I think it's the safest harbor we have considering what else is out there.

No, they are just the media arm of the Teddy Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party. As for the rest of us Republicans, we have no voice in the whoredom commonly referred to as the MSM, and that is not necessarily a bad thing.
