Congratulations to Max Fisher. He wins today's Most Clueless Irony on the Whole Internet.

Fox's late afternoon, Sunday, and prime time lineups are all over the place, unlike the uniformly leftard lineups on the news organs he prefers. Shep, Wallace, and Greta are all liberals [although unlike the former two, Greta is a professional who rarely lets her own ideology leak into her coverage.] O'Reilly, deliberately characterized as a "conservative" is actually a populist traditionalist with no real ideology, and Kelly and Hannity are [usually] conservatives.

So this genius takes the usual liberal straw man that Fox is a conservative monolith, and then proceeds to pretend that the outrage by two lib/progs who would feel right at home on any of the alphabet networks is indicative of something.

Nope. Fail.

Exactly, precisely and well put. Which is why I stopped watching Fox years ago. I can find leftist-to-establishment-Republican editorialising/opinion all over the place. Finding concise, informed, and articulate true conservative opinion (by which I don't mean all the one-issue, rah-rah, our-team-is-winning/losing-today stuff which is also all over the place) is a lot harder. Rush doesn't fit the bill, nor do Brietbart or other popular leaning-conservative outlets. It's harder to find conservative outlets which actually have deep fact at their disposal, without being "conspiratorial". I'm not explaining this well but I know what I mean :) I'd love to find a truly conservative outlet, both fiscal and so-con, which also has the connections and the intelligence to have the "story-behind-the-story", the facts which help prevent we the hoi polloi from being mere cheerleaders for "our team", and also making knee-jerk fools of ourselves, and the understanding of data and explaining data to we the hoi polloi, to help us understand as much as can be understood, which will never be the whole picture.
