Ryan may have helped solve some of the likeability problems facing Romney, but ultimately by trying to deceive voters about basic facts and trying to distract voters from his own record, Ryan’s speech caused a much larger problem for himself and his running mate.

Given that Fox hasn't always been bothered by reality, I'm curious to know from those who watch Fox News somewhat consistently, what you are hearing about Ryan?

There's another thread about this piece of crap article. Sally Kohn is an obnoxious, hard-left OPINION writer.

But Libs think OPINION is all that matters, as long as they agree with it.

And yeah, sometimes the opposition is for entertainment. I can't imagine them really believing the ultra-liberal crap they spout.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the info.

That was an "OPINION" piece written by a liberal contributor to FOX News. She's a lesbian and a community organizer for gay rights.

I watched Fox/CNN/MSNBC and found that fox news seemed to be a little harsh on Ryan, but it was nice because they seemed to take the middle road instead of being pro-Romney, they had lots of different views. Same with CNN..

MSNBC..wow! Sad how hateful they are....

Fox hires some token liberals for TV too. I think they try to find the ones that come across as wimpy and whiny (Colmes) or strident and annoying. I don't know anything about Sally Kohn though.

She's that woman that looks just like a donkey and shakes her head whenever someone else speaks. Doesn't surprise me.
