Democrats & Fox News . . .

The headline on the Comcast home page reads: Democrats, Fox News Lock Horns. Never, in the history of humanity or television, and especially in the marriage of the two, has there ever been a Presidential hopeful turn down face time. Quick, duck . . . here comes them flyin' pigs!

In their never ending pursuit of public stupidity, ignorance and their constant urge to throw a tissy and take their toys and go home, the Lefties have set a new standard for integrity. In case you haven't heard, Democrat Presidential hopefuls are refusing to participate in a Fox News televised debate amongst, now get this, only other Democrats. None of those Evil Conservatives involved. So what gives now, ya bunch of numbskulls?

At this point let me say it is a shame for the Democrats that Conservatives have not previously chosen this clever political stratagem. If in the history of television and political debates Republicans had refused to venture into 'enemy territory' no one would have ever seen the face of a Republican politician!

First, to demonstrate that the Dems are playing politics the way 6 year olds gather their toys and leave when they don't get their way, let's put a stop to the "Fox News is nothing but the propaganda wing of the Bush Administration." In a recent poll it was determined that, of the people polled at Fox, 40% identified themselves as either Liberals or Democrats. Now, I do not pretend to know how many were polled, who was polled, and the positions (on air or not) of the poll's participants, but let's just, for the sake of argument, say these are accurate numbers. What does that lead us to conclude?

I don't know about you, but I'm left with the impression that a 40/60 split leans a little, and I mean not far from the margin of error for polls, to the right, but clearly not the propaganda wing of any administration. Compare that with a poll conducted just before the 2004 election that concluded that 89% of media members in general, across multiple media, considered themselves as Liberals. Hmmm?

I guess when one considers that Fox News is only 40% Libs, to the Lefties out there it must truly seem as if Fox is the Devil incarnate.
