What in the heck are you talking about? Progressives were never pro-USSR.
Oh you're right as usual. American progressives hate central planning, cult of personality, socialism, UHC, severe regulations, one-size-fits-all "equality" and redistribution.
There is a distinctive reason FOX has the highest rating of all the Cable News organizations.
Some wish to be blind to the facts, because it does not fit into the agenda set forth by their idol.
I figure it tells you what you want to hear.
As for the agenda set forth by my idol, I don't have one. Heroes, maybe. To which one do you refer? Isaac Newton? Richard Feynman? Bruce Dickinson?
It would certainly help in cutting down on the posts that liberals make in .. 'whining' about Fox News .. if only the mods would make This a 'sticky'!
I hear this all the time .. "Fox News is for the Right Wing Nuts" or .. "Fox News is the 'unfair' and 'unbalanced' for the 'unbalanced"!
Since I stopped watching and relying on Fox Snooze when Shep Smith became the stations 'mascot', I decided to take another look so as to respond to all of the 'lefties' and their 'outdated' rants about .. 'Fox Snooze'!
The following is a simple summary and reply to all of those that continue to believe that Fox is the ambassador for the Right Wing among us!
IF you had been paying attention .. Fox went liberal long ago and they continue to do so.
The Major problem that the Leftists/Liberals face when criticizing Fox is .. There's a Lot of Leftists/Liberals .. On Fox!
Some are on 'A Lot' .. others .. Not as much or as often!
But the fact is .. They get the air time!
I don't 'think' that I have to give an in-depth resume' for each of the following .. You know who they are.
Most of you 'lefties' should be 'ecstatic' over the latest hire!
Now, just off the top of my head .. I will name a few:
Juan williams
(ALL THE TIME .. EVERY SHOW)
Bob Beckel
Why is Beckel — a true-blue Democrat who worked for Robert F. Kennedy and ran Walter Mondale’s 1984 presidential campaign — giving comfort to the enemy?
In Beckel's own words:
Geraldo Rivera
Kirsten Powers
Alan Colmes
Susan Estrich
Marc Lamont Hill
Al less than Sharptoon (Al Sharpton to you liberals)
Doug Schoen (Democratic pollster)
Shep Smith
Lanny Davis: former White House counsel for Bill Clinton
Tamara Holder
Sally Kohn Below is a 'review' from a liberal site:
And last but 'certainly' not least:
Santita Jackson
Daughter of Race Baiter 'extraordinaire' .. Jesse Jackson who is no stranger to Fox either!
The new Fox News contributor lists the notorious Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr., as being among her personal “activities and interests” on her Facebook page.
Equally significant, Jackson’s bio describes her as a founding contributor to The Grio, a website dedicated to black news and opinion owned by MSNBC and which is produced in cooperation with NBC News. She lists The Grio as being among her other activities and links to a description of the site.
Hence, Fox News is sharing personnel with a rival network, another indication of the channel’s move to the left.
As I said .. These are but a few of the one's that come to mind and there are more (many more) but .. You get the idea .. don't you!?
Now it's time for the liberal/communists to come out with their 'unbiased' list of news programs!
(Good luck with that)
Well .. I've had to update the list since Fox has now added another loon to their 'contributers' .. James Carville!
Ya-a-a-a
"It would certainly help in cutting down on the posts that liberals make in .. 'whining' about Fox News"
NO it WON 'T as can be seen by your list BEFORE the "Ragin Cajun" was hired.
I would bet that the vast majority on here who whine about FOX NEVER watch it but, comment on what they read from Media Matters or MSNBC.
Again for the millionth time...why do you conservatives come out swinging in defense of news organizations as if you're an employee?
So what...they hired the most entertaining talking head in politics. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUH! I'm sure the decision to hire a sure ratings winner took all of about 2 seconds once he became available.
Big deal.
"Again for the millionth time...why" do you post if you don't care?
"Again for the millionth time...why" don't you ask all the liberals on here who constantly post so much against FOX?
It is far right. No one in Fox News would be considered part of the left by the left.
What's considered "left" on that channel is more of skiddish center. The real left wing, progressives, left-liberals, has been amputated from the political discussion.
Fox leans right but it's not far right overall. Only Sean Hannity is far right (Glenn Beck was too when he was there). Bill O'Reilly is an Independent who leans to the right, John Stossel is a Libertarian. The rest of the regulars on Fox appear to be mostly either a moderate conservative or a moderate liberal.
I applaud CNN for hiring Gingrich. They also use Ari Fleischer as an ananlyst at times (former G.W. Bush press secretray). They're at least trying to have some balance. Some people acuse CNN of being far left but they're not IMO. Most of their regulars appear to be moderate liberals, not far left.

Yeah, it certainly appears that way. Liberals are constantly on here starting threads or making comments in threads complaining about Fox. It's either that, or they get their information about Fox from other sources online that are complaining about Fox.

What's far left to y'all though because what considered left by the actual left might be "far left" to you guys?
Left to us is Molly Ivans (rip), Jim Hightower, Bill Moyers, Amy Goodman, John Pilger, Chris Hedges, Jeremy Scahill. The Young Turks.
I bet half of these names you've never heard of. The others you probably think are "far left".
The ones on mainstream cable news are not "left", they're conventional middle of the road democrats that right wingers call "left" to shift the debate further right ward.
