Mr. D™: what`s next? Dogs raining?
You making a normal thread for a change.
Anything left wing (however mild or in this case extreme) at Fox News is an artificial cardboard cutout they throw up to add legitimacy. They a very right wing biased organization, which I have no problem with just so long as they would admit it, which they refuse to do, and they keep pulling shit like this to try to convince the public they aren't just out to cater and appease to one specific demographic.

Anyway, they throw up someone they label a "liberal", or invite someone on they see as the antithesis of the perception of FoxNews, to try to convince the public they are reaching out to all sides and all avenues of the political spectrum. It usually either blows up in their face or people just see right through it.

Don't forget not too long ago Bill O'Reilly was their reach out to the left wing. They tried to convince us was a completely non partisan and embraced all sides. That charade didn't last long so they gave it up.

They tried something similar a few years back to appease people who insisted that the network was all about rich white men, so they brought in a black woman. Turns out she was a total fucking nut and ruined their credibility as a legit news source even more. :P

There is nothing wrong with bias on these networks especially in the circus that news journalism has become. I have dozens of left wing biased news sources I go to every day, and I fully admit they are such, and they fully admit they are such. I wish Fox would just admit they are doing the same thing and that whatever happens they are going spin it to make conservatives look good.

It's not just Fox News that does this. I have heard of many cases where news organizations, in an effort to cover "both sides" of issues where there is only one reasonable stance to take, would have to bring in nutjobs to handle the non-viable position. For example, consider evolution: Evolution is an accepted consensus among scientists, with 98% of scientists accepting the theory, yet many times creationists (whose views are not supported by science at all) are brought in to "debate" them. There's nothing to debate here; evolution is as valid as gravity.

(There are other examples I could choose, but this is probably the most well known one.)

I have a special corner in my bowels for Bill O'Reilly. I loved it when Colbert, Stewart and Manson tore his prejudices apart like string cheese.
And then there was the time when Fox News without any irony glorified a group of neo-nazis by calling them a "civil rights group". Apparently, they didn't knew that "national socialists" equals Nazis.

The profile with the clip quickly disappeared from youtube because the profile owner was yet another nazi, but I managed to save it:

And just remember, according to FoxNews: When a white person kills a bunch of people, he is a crazed gunman. When a non-white person kills a bunch of people, he is a terrorist. :D

That's so true. That's why it sucks to be a minority in the US. Everyone looks at you and thinks his race/religion was on the news, he must be avoided.
I don't understand. An entire 9 hours a political topic has stayed up, and it didn't degrade into an utter mess. Where's the downvoting? The name-calling? The bans?

You might be asking a rhetorical question but I'm going to give my best hypothesis, anyway. It's probably because the usual suspects are absent/busy.

It was mostly a joke, but yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if things shake up with the entrance of just one of our regulars.
