Give me a break with your FOX News rip. They are different than CNN, CBS, NBS and ABS but that doesn't make them GOP news. They report both sides, did you ever watch a Fox News debate show? Watch Hannity and Colmes (a flaming liberal) and then turn to Larry King Live. King pitches soft balls.
Look at Clarke. A booking on O'Reilly is known to sell books, but Clarke did not book on O'Reilly. Why? Cause his ridiculous assertions and his lies would be ripped to shreds piece by piece. The mainstream media actually refuses to report the facts concerning Clarke and his contradicting statements. They ignore facts if those facts get in the way of their story. They have conviniently ignored Clarkes background interview he gave in 2002. They act like it doesn't exist.
Say this or that about Fox News, but they report both sides of an issue.
Colmes, a flaming liberal? hahaha
He might be flaming to you, but Colmes is known as one of the most moderate hosts around. Many of the conservative guests on the show comment on how Colmes is their favorite liberal. Colmes himself has said that he is "moderate, quite moderate" . Count how many minutes Hannity speaks for on the show and then count how many Colmes does. Its seriously tilted to Hannity.
O'Reilly and Hannity attack their guests. They cut mikes, they "hannatize", etc. So of course it looks like Larry King pitches soft balls. Most of the rest of TV personalities actually like and respect their guests.
and BTW , the reason people sometimes call it "GOP news" is because they purport to be "fair and balanced", and also because the grand majority of their viewership is GOP
