Say what you want about FoxNews. They're pretty open minded to a wide range of view points: paleo-conservatives, neo-conservatives (Hannity), moderates (O' Reilly...he's a jerk, but if you see through it, he's moderate), libertarians (Judge Napolitano), moderate Democrats (Juan Williams) and now true progessives.

One liberal analyst doesn't change the fact that Fox news is very conservative.

Anywho, I doubt his show will last, people don't tune into Fox news to hear liberal points of view.

He won't have a show, he'll be on as an analyst and contributors. You need to differenciate between the actual news, group discussion type shows and personality shows (Hannity for example). He would never have a personality show because it would never be popular: I agree, those are fairly right-wing. But I think he will be a welcome edition on the group shows and as an analyst.

All the networks hire people with different viewpoints. So what? This doesn't make Fox special in that regard. Big deal.

One? You're uninformed; there are many of em.
Yeah, Fox is conservative, but they give both
sides a shot. Fair and balanced, ya know.

No, they are very conservative. But they are not one-sided. Unlike MSNBC, which is very liberal and has no conservatives on.

I know you believe what you've been led to believe, but most people tune into Fox news to hear all points of view. It pays to be informed, and to hear other sides of issues, ones that you may not be exposed to otherwise. One of my favorite folks on there is Juan Williams. I want to choke him sometimes (as well as Reilly, Hannity, etc.) but I respect his opinion greatly, and agree with him on a lot of things.

So Dennis Kucinich will play the Alan Colmes role, where he's the weird little liberal guy that the rest of Fox Analysts shout at and argue with...

That being said, I'll probably tune in to see how this turns out.

Fox news is one sided, and so is MSNBC, but being pro Democractic party doesn't make one a liberal. The Democratic party as a whole is a centrist party, you have a few liberals and some conservatives, but the party in general is moderate.

MSNBC = Democratic party, not the liberal party.

This is more of that fair and balanced reporting they brag about but leaners can't understand that at all.
