[Alas Babylon!]

Geraldo Rivera, Sheperd Smith, Alan Colmes, Great Van Sustern, Kristen Powers, Bob Betchel, and Chris Wallace...

Fox News has more prominent liberals than MSNBC.

The whole idea that Fox News is a right wing propaganda machine is laughable. It just seems that way because they actually feature a few conservatives with their own shows. Fair and Balanced is a marketing gimmick to get you to watch.

Don’t.

I know about the others, but is Van Sustern a lib too?

I've always maintained that FOX News isn't conservative, they're just not as overtly liberal as the other networks.

You left out Juan Williams.

Not hating this from Ailes..

###

“(Ailes seems to relish the feuding among his stars, saying, “O’Reilly hates Sean and he hates Rush because they did better in radio than he did.”)

Ailes keeps a wary eye on anchor Shepard Smith, who occasionally backs aspects of the Obama record: “Every once in a while Shep Smith gets out there where the buses don’t run and we have a friendly talk.”

And Ailes likes to tease O’Reilly: “You gonna suck up to Obama so you can get another interview at the next football game?”

Whatever the criticism, thank God there IS Roger Ailes and FNC. Just consider the morass of non-stop news twisting and outright political propagandizing 15-20 yrs. ago.
