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.

The most-watched cable news network is viewed by only a small fraction of the regular public, including approximately zero Democratic primary voters.

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

You're arguing with someone other than me who is saying something other than I have.

Most of the times Fox has a Democrat on, it's to make Democrats look bad. You brought up MSNBC, which has some liberal talk show hosts but doesn't do the same thing. Joe Scarborough isn't there because he hates Republicans more in sorrow than in anger. Pat Cadell is on Fox because he's a Democrat from 35 years ago who bashes Democrats. Etc.

Fox doesn't have a slant. It's an unofficial wing of the Republican Party, sponsoring future Republican candidates with hefty contracts, and generating and amplifying false news stories to support Republican initiatives. MSNBC (which I don't watch, although Hardball is on my TiVo) is a network which had, until recently, at least two high-profile left-wing opinion shows.
