Let me be clear that I do so agree with you.
Too often I read excoriation about FNC here on FR but, even though I criticized Chris Wallace upthread, with a lengthly and, I thought, honest explanation, I feel that FNC is still the only news outlet that gives the truth without an agenda. Such as, oh, I dunno, NBC’s former affiliation with GE....that sort of thing.
It’s just that it’s got to be difficult for a Wallace, for example, with a very liberal type father to boot, to keep from doing the same sort of stuff his colleagues do on MTP, CNN....definitely MSNBC. The Bob Scheiffers and the like is what I’m saying here.
FNC audiences take C. Wallace to task and he has to react unlike his bought and paid for colleagues. Witness the recent M. Bachmann snafu, calling her a FLAKE. The viewers of Bob Scheiffer, he who lives in a close trashcan for his knowledge of the world, would have never have reacted to such a terribly-phrased question. They’d have nodded affirmative, they always knew Bachmann was a flake, Scheiffer just confirmed it.
Exactly, I think its a credit to FNC and their viewers that they do react to left wing bias from the usuals. Also some get zotted as well such as the giraffe who is now history.
