One member of the audience took him up on the claim that Fox News employs Democrats. "If so, who would that be?" he asked.
A visibly nervous Murdoch folded his hands and froze for a few seconds. "I could give you a couple of names but they're certainly there," he responded. "Uh, if Roger [Ailes] were here he'd certainly spit them out very quickly. I think probably every night Greta Van Susteren is certainly close to the Democratic Party."

Greta Van Susteren? Just how out of touch is this guy?

I mean, we all know Faux employs a few token Democrats to keep up their "Fair and Balanced" illusion....but Palin lover Greta isn't one of them

What a good policy Fox News must have to not use party affiliation as a litmus test for hiring. He doesn't even know what party anyone belongs to. I wish the federal government would take that attitude with regard to race.

And can you please tell me how it is any different then the few "token" republicans on CNN and MSNBC? And if the guy can't name any then that tells me it is NOT a question on the employment application! As it should NOT be.

Why would Keith Olbermann stoop so low to report something like this? Any liberals care to opine? The funny thing is that he does it with such fervor so as to make you think he's found the Ultimate Gotcha! Moment. Pretty sad, if you ask me.

My opinion is that MSNBC has devolved into E! Entertainment's Talk Soup silliness.

Do they have Republicans on the air or not?? The answer is yes.

Sure...Faux is quite fair...that's why all you wingnuts rush to their defense (like good little RW soldiers) every time they're criticized.

Token Democrats...there only to take a beating. Like the Washington Generals to the Globetrotters...it's all illusion, the game is fixed.

What a joke that anyone would fall for that.
