Sarah,Huck,and anyone else you care to mention are either contributor's,or have their own shows at Fox News.Granted they haven't announced they are running for president ,in 2012,but they sure are sticking their toes in the water.It appears that Fair and Balanced Fox is giving them a free platform to do this.I don't watch Fox News ,so I really don't know what goes on there. I do see clips online and watch MSNBC and get the cliff notes .I am aware that it is as about as right wing as MSNBC is left.Having said that,I can't understand how it is legal for Fox to continue to have these folks on and not have an opposition voice. That is something MSNBC does have.Fox claims to be a neutral news organization ,but when they contribute a million dollars to the republican party ,that cancels the neutrality.When they are pushing the right wing and only the right wing that cancels the neutrality.This is a two party system here in the USA but if Fox was the only station you watched ,you would not think so . They push the Muslim hate. They push the birth certificate doubt. They push the Iran fear.They don't report news that even looks to be fair for the Democrats. And they yell about how their ratings are the best ,so they must be the best.
An analogy I often use now is that the Red Sox always sell out .Every game ,sell out. Meanwhile the Tampa Bay never sells out. They had to give away tickets the other night. But Tampa finished the season in first,while the Red Sox were in third .Just because the Red Sox had more fans,doesn't mean they are a better team.
I personally think Fox should be stripped of it's news accreditation's,until they join a level playing field.They are to Fair and Balanced ,what Dick Cheney is to not having conflict of interest.
