They won’t be able to say Fox isn’t “balanced”. Next to rational people, Olbermann will look REALLY crazy. The DUer’s will have massive exploding head syndrome. Olbermann next to intelligent people, might learn something like Chris Wallace did. I doubt it, but he might. And people who never understood how nuts the real left is might have an epiphany.
