Certainly Shep Smith isn't conservative, and there are others I wouldn't call 'conservative' who are regulars (I don't really consider O'Reilly 'conservative' either).

Rush —
I am so grounded in conservativism, I'm so grounded in common sense, it's not possible for me to waver from it. I don't doubt myself! - Rush Limbaugh

Atlantic writer — "Has there ever been a less conservative sentiment uttered than the one above?"

Huh???

He doesn't explain himself.

So, Rush says he is grounded in conservatism (and I know this to be true as I know something about his upbringing and what his father taught him). So, his statement is somehow hypocritical? How?

The rest of the article is just as stupid. Which is why I don't read the Atlantic.

This seems to confirm my belief that the left is basically uneducated. I don't care if they have been to college. They are ignorant numskulls, and they do not know how to think or read. They only know what to think. And they have very poor comprehension skills.

You're right! They're BOTH biased. Why can't you conservatives admit the same for Fox?

Rush is right.

Maybe some look to Fox as being conservative because when they see the other stations they look so; but IMO the others are so left that some like NBC/MS-NBC are actually arms of the Democrat party the way they report.

"I am so grounded in conservativism, I'm so grounded in common sense."

I hope nobody thinks about that statement in a mathematical/logical way.

If you compare FoxNews to the conservative talk radio you'll realize that FoxNews is really not that conservative.
