Aside from him and Pat Buchanan, I can't think of other conservative-leaning people on that network. Fox has frequent guests Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, Bob Beckel, Ellis Henican, Mort Kondrake, Geraldo Rivera and hosts Shepard Smith and Greta all lean left.
You can't make this comparison, though. O'Reilly has criticized both sides and been fair to Obama on mulitple instances. Olbermann doesn't do that. Beck has been very critical of Republicans recently. Maddow, Olbermann and Schultz are hardcore Democrats. They just are. I have never seen them attack a liberal or defend a conservative. Matthews is slightly more fair, but not much.
That's not true. Juan Williams, Mara Liasson and Mort Kondrake are regular panelists on that show.
Cavuto has attacked the Bush administration constantly when it comes to spending.
Who cares what the slogan is? MSNBC is "the place for politics," but I could certainly argue that they specialize in presenting primarily liberal politics. CNN is "the best political team on television," and that's debatable also...
I forgot I even responded to this thread, sorry for a late response.
If you include 'contributors' which let's face it,
you have to when discussing the balance of Fox, then it's pretty much the same list.
Mort Kondracke is a liberal? Yeah, that about says it all, doesn't it?
I sort of like him, he's consistent and pretty measured but he ain't no liberal. Not in the real world. Ellis Henican writes for Newsday, so does that mean MSNBC gets credit for the people who appear that write for the Washington Post or The Weekly Standard or National Review?
You see what I mean? This is silly. If I wanted to take the time I could list plenty of them but it's a silly issue to me. You're not being the least bit objective. The cable news shows ask people to come on, they almost always come on and all the networks have all sorts of different 'contributors'. This particular myth about MSNBC comes straight from the talk radio crap.
I think Bill-O runs his ship pretty well and believe it or not, I think he holds a high ground over the farce that is Olbermann. Beck being critical of Republicans means nothing, Republicans aren't conservative half the time, they parrot the message to get the vote. Then they go and spend, spend, spend like their hair is on fire. Criticizing Reps has nothing to do with this. It's about conservative/liberal.
Rachel Maddow has gone after Dems before, because she
is a true liberal.
If you can understand what I just said, then we can find common ground here.
Cavuto is a harcore conservative!!! Bush was anything but, with regard to fiscal policy. This is evidence of what, exactly? That Cavuto actually
is a conservative? Uh, yeah.
Who cares what the slogan is?
So you don't care about truth in advertising? Honesty?
Wow, that's disappointing.
As for that Fox panel show, I watch it often. It's actually a pretty decent barometer of where (generally speaking) some of the more sober conservative opinion is at the moment. And occasionally Juan Williams will be on it. And because Mara works for NPR, that automatically makes her a liberal? Uh, no.
Their opinions tell you more than their place of employment.
I saw it just the other day. Barnes Hayes Kondracke Krauthammer Baier.
That's 3 died-in-the-wool conservatives, a moderate conservative and the host, who I would assume because he ascended to Brit Hume's throne, follows the line. Brit Hume is a bigtime admitted Jesus conservative. I don't know that for sure about Baier but I would assume. He's a Catholic from the South. I mean, c'mon.
You could argue that's
all 5.
We aren't going to agree, so I'll move on.
