Introducing Fact Based News to Fox would be a major shift in policy. Perhaps when Murdoch is gone and huffington buys it

Is Ole Rache still out there? There just is not an "equivalent" anywhere to that. However, putting a gay ultra liberal on Fox would certainly be the PC way to go.

She's on fire!
Technically..she loses to Fox in fact they all do, in every time slot. They probably tune in to see if she is wearing boxers or briefs

Yep, by reaching so many people, there's no doubt that good ol' Fox "News" is solidly mainstream media.

As to why a conservative equivalent of Rachel Maddow isn't on Fox "News", unfortunately William F. Buckley, Jr. died in 2008, and there's no other political commentator on the right who isn't rabid.

People like George Will can represent the Republican principles well, if given a chance. But Will is one of them well-reasoned types (he does not know to argue and shout at the same time) and Fox will lose ratings if they put up such people. I am sure there are others around - if Fox can dig up idiots, they can also dig up more reasoned RW people.

They couldn't find a conservative woman that was that manly?
