Otherwise, the Administration's position seems not only inappropriate and immature, but completely disingenuous and ridiculous as well.

That being the key, of course.

Greg Gutfeld (go ahead - "who?") gets blasted as hard-right, but he's actually a social liberal and hardly anyone's idea of the "evangelicals" that supposedly make up the Republican party. And he can talk long and loud about his social ideology, but the second he ridicules this health care crap or makes any negative comment about Obama or Pelosi, he gets labeled a right-wing zealot.

It's a political version or "All or Nothing".

While their star pundits tend to lean right, the actual news and reporting is straight down the middle. And we will note that even Sean Hannity, who is the most conservative show host they have - even he welcomes liberal guests on his discussion panels and isn't completely one-sided. And on the opposite end of the spectrum is Geraldo Rivera, who is very much a liberal; he frequently has Ann Coulter on to verbally spar with.

Fair and balanced, as advertised. And only a brainwashed idiot would say otherwise.

The Left, including our freakin' PRESIDENT, trying to shut down a media outlet that doesn't kowtow to them scares the hell out of me.

Brainwashed idiot. What do you say to someone like that?

Guess a copy of Glenn Beck's newest tome might help? HOW TO ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT

Karl Rove and Terry McCauliffe were on FOX News this afternoon. Rove took the high ground that Obama's declaration of FOX as an enemy does a disservice to the office of the President (Compared him to Nixon) . MacCauliff's position was that failure to carry the President's address on FOX Entertainment was justification to cold-shoulder FOX News. When Wallace pointed out the stupidity of that, McCauliffe counters with Glenn Beck's radio show where he called Obama racist. My point immediately was "That's Glenn Beck's radio show, not carried on FOX News. So what's your justification for shutting out FOX News.

Karl Rove wrapped the idiot flag around McCauliffe a couple more times before the show ended. Rove got the message across that this does a disservice to the office of the President again and again.

McCauliffe was left sputtering Alexa's talking points.

I saw that tonight. Rove just let the rope out little by little & McAuliffe took it and hung himself on it.

Give 'em an inch, and they'll suffocate themselves! What a dork! He never saw it coming; I had to hold my breath, to see if he'd swallow the lure - hook, line and sinker!

Obama gets off on his own reflection, any news organization not willing to Hob his Knob will be ignored and attacked because they do no feed his Narcissism...

Was I the only one laughing about how McCauliffe was railing about the bias on Fox, when he's on a Fox show? Whereas on the "unbiased" networks, a conservative voice is rarer than hens teeth? I also loved the bit about how the administration hasnt shut out Fox, since he was there. When it was pointed out that he is NOT an administration official, he just waffled. The best part was when Chris played some tape from the campaign, when Fox called Pa, I think, for Hilary. It was McCauliffe gushing about how Fox was the best out there, "Fair and Balanced, Fox, way to go, keep it up". After that was played, and Chris asked how his opinion has changed so radically, was his good opinion only given to networks whos news he liked, he just suffered a case of verbal diarrhea:)
