on their "debate" shows. Instead of the spineless Alan Colmes, they put
Carville on Crossfire, which prompted conservative pundits to avoid the
show for fear of having a solid argument thrown up against their
rhetoric, since Bill Press wasn't what one would call "confrontational"
- as long as you didn't count Gore-style sighing as confrontational.
Liberal media, Conservative media, everyone loves to feel oppressed -
it's the national pastime. David Limbaugh (Rush's presumably less
Oxycontin-addicted brother) just put out a book talking about how
oppressed and in-danger Christians were in America - presumably because
85% of the population identifying themselves as Catholic or some
Protestant sect is not yet enough for the Land of the Free.
You can hit the FAIR website for as many stories about Fox's
transgressions (how "Fair and Balanced" is a news service that mocks
thousands of protestors in NYC?) but you're not going to convince them
that it's as much of a muckraking organization as CNN or MSNBC, just
with worse chromakey graphics.
