Good luck.

i'm sure i could if i cared enough to know about the personal views of every member of the ny times vast news staff.

i can't believe you listed o'reilly as a moderate and made him part of your awesome list. of course you consider yourself the board moderate and that speaks volumes

Not a moderate. Independent. SeattleUte, is that you?

He calls himself an independent, and I'm not aware of the conservative movement claiming him. But if you want to be anal and insist he's right wing, fine. It doesn't change the fact that Fox News employs a lot of liberals.

You wanna play that game, fine. You've got two token conservatives at the NY Times on the opinion page. Take a guess how many libs there are.

oh hex, come on
 
he's not an independent either


your list isn't impressive, who in the hell are e.d. hill and liz wiehl?what shows do they anchor?

i think fox is a legitimate news network with a right-wing slant, you're contesting that? I don't think anyone but you would go around saying they employ a lot of liberals

i've never said the ny times doesn't lean left. it does, especially in the editorial pages

LOL. Sure he does. And with a straight face, too.

I supposed if he called himself the King of England there would be a few true believers who would lap it up.

If you don't know, maybe you shouldn't be opining.

Yeah, 'cause that's the same thing.

I'm not surprised you got nit-picky about one example out of eight. Typical Lebowski missing the forest for the trees.

Actually it was just meant as a response to this:

Liberals are reasonably represented on Fox, not just conservatives. That's all I was saying.
