| badgenome said: No, Juan Williams doesn't make you balanced. But between Juan Williams, Kirsten Powers, Alan Colmes, Susan Estrich, Bob Beckel, Geraldine Ferraro, Alicia Menendez, Ellis Henican, et al, Fox is easily more balanced than either CNN (whose idea of a conservative is Kathleen Parker) or MSNBC (whose idea of a conservative is probably Dennis Kucinich). By all means, hold everyone accountable. But all complaints about how shitty the media in general, and cable news in particular, is seem to start and end with Fox News. Granted, they are the ratings leader by lightyears, but no one seriously thinks that's why they're the whipping boy. Nor are they especially bad as far as cable news goes. It's because and only because they dare to lean the other way. |
Problem is, all those you listed as progressive are contributors who come in for 2 to 5 minutes at a time.
Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity are all conservative and the biggest draws to Fox News in their time slots. Where are their progressive counterparts who have a 1 hour prime time television slot on Fox News?
