He says, though, that he is a registered Democrat. You just pulled that one out of you know where, SAVA.

As to Republicans, Schwarzenegger is big on the environment, just not the communist variety where the goal is to kill America.

Who on FOX is anti-evolution? I think the emphasis is to allow discussion of creationism in schools, not ban evolution.

Good God, Vel, even Einstein believed in a Creator.

I'm upset at right-wing propaganda. And the news shouldn't be pro-anything.

The conservative spinners are commentators, not news casters, Sava. The news itself is just stated as one might expect. Just not with the anti-American comments or sneers one has come to expect from most media other than FOX.

Mitchell - No offense (its Christmas ) but I don't know why you quoted me as a segue into your analysis.

------------------------------------------------------------

As for Bill O'Reilly being a "traditionalist", that was his BS rational when Russert asked him about the perception Fox has a conservative bias. O'Reilly actually argued there was no Republican/conservative bias at Fox and cited the primetime line up as his proof of this objectivity. The facts? Fox is a news analysis network with a Republican and more (socially) conservative POV interspersed with tidbits of "news".

Why the success? Because Republicans and conservatives have lacked a big outlet of their own and after being stuck for decades with more liberal news outlets, Fox gave them that outlet and they watch.

Q, I think you over-interpreted my remarks. I was speaking in reply to several vomit commentaries by Marxists. Obviously, they do need their own network outlet that proudly flys the hammer and sickle.

But, clearly, what upsets many about FOX is that it is pro-American on the whole. You will find numerous Democrats who admit that they protray a frankly anti-American attitude that increasingly does not play well among the "folks." Many Democrats admit that ostracizing the likes of Lieberman and other so-called "moderate" Democrats is central to their becoming a minority party. Other Democrats, like Dean, strongly disagree.

We shall see where the party moves in the future. But you will find almost universal support and praise for Lieberman on FOX, illustrating that the problem most Democrats have with FOX is highly related to their anti-Americanism.

Not true, I saw Carl Cameron (Fox' news update journalist) repeatedly refer to Kerry's criticisms of Bush as attacks but rarely if ever said Bush was attacking Kerry. But why does Fox devote more airtime to these conservative spinners than liberal spinners or God forbid, news, if it was fair and balanced?

What is pro-American? Pro-Republican?

So by definition, he's a conservative.

One other important, eh um, factor: Bill O'Reilly is pro-choice if you didn't know.

Berz, could be that two different reporters were involved?

But your point is taken.

But most media other than FOX is almost overtly anti-Republican even if they are perceived as grossly right-wing by foreign leftists. Think if Dan Rather's numerous "stories" on Bush and the war that seem to be supported by dubious documents and the like.

I personally think that it is high time for other major media to hire a Republican managing editor. I thought CBS would do so in replacing Rather in order to move CBS back into the mainstream and gain more viewers. Instead, they are about to hire the most ardent, pro-Democrat person they could possibly find. Ugh! So much of CBS New's future. It has none.
