There's something ironic about Fox News being shunned by Democrat debaters as being too biased in the wake of the NY Times giving MoveOn a discount on its Petraeus attack ad.

Oh, and Fox News is the one reporting the story. Heh.

I don't know how I missed this thread earlier. Why refer to them as suicide or homicide. Why not just refer to them as "killers".

Tonight in Iraq "killers" set off a bomb in a shopping market. These "killers" or "killer" was killed in the incident along with many innocent men, women and children.

Fox like the others haven't got the guts to just call it like it is.

I will tell you how I know Fox is conservative. They put Alan Combes on opposite Hannity to represent the liberals. He could be a poster boy for the term "pea brain".

Of course to compete, MSNBC has their own pea brains. Crissy Mathews and what's his name. Seriously, he is so irrelevant I forgot his name, but you know who I mean.

Greta van Susteren, anchor: liberal.
E.D. Hill, anchor: liberal.
Lis Wiehl, legal analyst: liberal.
Bill O'Reilly: "independent"

And of course they employ a whole host of both conservative and liberal contributors, including Dick Morris and Geraldine Ferraro, of all people.

The only overt conservative host I can think of in the evening is Sean Hannity. Brit Hume is a conservative also, but his show is almost completely straight news.

O'Reilly maybe independent compared to you and other members of the Eagle Forum, but he is conservative. He can call himself whatever he wants, he is conservative.

E.D. Hill, who cares???? Lis Wiehl, if she got a nose job she would be a Fox.

It's not a liberal network. It's just a network. That was my point.

If you can produce a list of conservatives that work for the NY Times like I just did in the reverse for Fox, I may change my opinion.

Good luck.
