Spence, why doesn't the presence of Alan Colmes and Juan Williams and Bob Beckel and Kirsten Powers, make Foxnews more balanced? MSNBC has no regular conservative guests on primetime, none whatsoever. From 7 PM until 11 PM, all you see on MSNBC is the former editorial staff from The Daily Worker.
And while Chris Matthews is heavy, he's no heavy hitter. And if an apology wasn't enough for Don Imus, why is it enough when a liberal does it?
And in your usual cowardly fashion, you completely dodged my question of why it matters how often I watch that network. |

Fixed.
Colmes isn't even on any more I don't think. Williams is a mercy hire, he's a lightweight for Brit Hume to beat up on Sundays. Kirsten Powers isn't really all that liberal, but she sure is hot.

MSNBC doesn't have the money to hire all the talent that FOX does so they're going after a niche market. Although you will see Republicans on all the time...and hell, their entire morning program is run by a conservative former House member.

Mathews is the elder member of their prime time lineup. But the two remarks are not at all equal...

I don't think who they hire is all that important. It's the nature of the discussion...Chris Wallace has a lot of Right wingers on the Sunday show and it's usually pretty good.
Jim can beotch all he wants about MSNBC but in reality their ratings are nothing compared to FOX News. Assume both sides are dishing out equal proportions of biased or misinformation and the problem on the FOX side is much larger.

"Colmes isn't even on any more I don't think. "
Wrong. He's on O'Reilly, the network's flagship show, all the time. So you just make stuff up to support your inane points?
"Williams is a mercy hire"
Really? Williams often hosts the O'Reilly factor when Bill is away. So you're saying Foxnews hands the reigns OF ITS FLAGSHIP SHOW, to a "mercy hire"?
How would you know he is a mercy hire, anyway?
"MSNBC doesn't have the money to hire all the talent that FOX does so they're going after a niche market"
And that niche market, apparently, is people who have (1) escaped from Bellvue, and (2) ask no questions, and (3) hate everyone who thinks differently than they do.
"Although you will see Republicans on all the time"
Not in prime-time, which is what most folks pay attention to. |
