If there was any lingering doubt that Evan Bayh is a whore...

Now I'm confused. He has a ridiculous amount of money in his campaign account, but will shortly make himself unelectable in the Democratic Party by bashing it left and right on the Fox network. What's he going to do? Run as a Republican?

Who says Bayh will be bashing Democrats?  Does every talking head on MSNBC bash Republicans?

No, but that's one of the differences between MSNBC and Fox News. Democratic fixtures on Fox News have a certain role to fill (see Joe Lieberman, Pat Cadell) and that's what they are paid for.

Yeah.  The 'Lean Forward" network that employed Keith Olbermann clearly isn't biased because "progressives" say so.  Only Faux News is.  Sure.

You need a new shtick. This is essentially your argument against anyone, ever.

I was going to jokingly suggest that for each time Cinyc puts the word "progressive" in quotation marks, everyone should take a shot, but if anyone actually did that they'd be dead by now.

Short mix.

Fox is in your face conservative and is the only major station with a conservative slant.
CNN, ABC, MSNBC are more subtlely liberal, though MSNBC less so.

Crazy suggestion: How about we focus more on how to make the news networks more accurate and informative instead of focusing on what the right "balance" is between them ideologically? Regular MSNBC viewers are far more accurately informed than Fox News viewers are, according to at least two different surveys.
