It was NOT news about illegal immigration, it was Al Sharpton fussing about racial profiling.

In any case, they sat on this story. Do you think they would have sat on a story about, say, Nancy Pelosi or her husband cheating?

So in general when a conservative cheats on his wife people think he is being hypocritical because he talks one way and does another, BUT when a liberal cheats on his wife it is understood that is expected so who is surprised. Ok, I get it now. Geesh. Roll eyes.

Well Newsweek sat on the Lewinski scandal for 3 days until Drudge broke the story. Why? To protect Clinton, or because they thought no one was interested? And to answer your question, No, Fox would not sit on a story if the person who is 3rd in line for the Presidency cheated. Now if a democrat politician from Omaha or souix city was cheating, no, they wouldnt bother.

I thought WTH? then, I realized that FOXnews is truly fair and balanced if they are willing to air ads for thier competition.


WHAT part of commercial TV are you having difficulty with?

PAID ads have nothing to do with fairness................................

They'd even run an ad for you if you ponied up enough $$$

Is the US way of life to persecute people while committing the same acts?

Seriously? How hyper-partisan can you be before you realize you need to fees up to your own actions?

So you're admitting Faux was indeed protecting Ensign

What if it was a Republican senator from Nevada, who until a recent dark day was planning to run for prez? I guess Faux was waiting til next week, when he would be more "important." Ya think?

(May 28, 2009) "John Ensign (R-Nev.): Ensign has publicly acknowledged an interest in running for president, which will be formalized by his trip to Iowa next week." - The Fix - White House Cheat Sheet: Five Senators to Watch on Sotomayor
We were hoping, when GOP Senator and Promise Keeper John Ensign revealed his affair, for more rightblogger outrage, but alas, they have been pretty quiet about it. Riehl World View is forgiving: "People are human, they make mistakes" -- except when they're Democrats, especially Clinton, whose "behavior abused or denigrated the office he held," says Riehl. Plus, in Clinton's case it was "any potential blackmail that caused me the greatest concern," whereas Ensign "exposed the affair the minute he realized he was in jeopardy of being black mailed." Maybe we should put Ensign up for the Medal of Honor.
