FAUX News
Who do you think is the most dangerous host on FN?

I personally think Brit Hume is the worst. Where Hannity and O'Reilly and even sometimes Cavuto make no bones about their respective segments being politically based and about analysis rather than news, Brit pretends to be a real anchorman giving real news on a real news show.

Problem is he must have had a stroke of the left brain, because he puts a rightward slant on every word that comes out of his mouth.

Because an average viewer might take Brit Hume's segments without a copious amount of salt (he's a news anchor after all!), I think he's more dangerous than anyone else on that station.

Anybody else care to chime in?

9. Definitely Colmes.
Makes the "liberal" position look horrible. Lets ridiculous untruths and exaggerations by Hannity go completely unchallenged. I hope that money Murdoch leaves on the nightstand for you is enough, Alan.

13. Colmes did a good job of quizzing Dobson about gay marriage.
I generally think he is puke but he did ask some good questions on that segment.

4. Murdoch and the idiot court jesters of the AM
Murdoch, of course, is obvious. And he does damage on other continents as well.

The idoit court jesters of the morning have no agenda other than to twist, ridicule, insult, sneer, laugh at and put down good citizens. They are the most dangerous because of the audience they reach. There deadly critical and make fun of chatter is deadly and totally irresponsible. They talk from a base level that is miles below the appropriate cut-off point.

The same for CNN at times.

5. I don't watch Fox News much
It kinda reminds me of the Washington Times (a right wing Moonie rag)... Just 'way too dumbed down.

7. Don't underestimate the right wing production and camera work
at FAUX. Ever notice how when a left winger is giving a reply they will cut over to a face shot of Britt and catch the sneering reaction. A very subtle an effective tactic

8. I once had Brit Hume as a customer.
He forgot his scarf. I should've wrapped it around his neck for him...

10. The morning show on Fox
If anything points to the lie about Fair and Balanced it's the Fox and Friends program.

From their "clever" topic headers and questions of the day which present the answers as "good republican response" vs. "bad liberal position", snarky remarks (Dems are always "bashing" vs. "criticizing" Bush) and the endless run of Republican polticos and officials , it's obvious that these guys and girls have been given told to repeat the administration line ad nauseum.

The only overture to F&B is the 2 minute segments that will occur about once an hour with two guests from different ends of the spectrum.

12. I hadn't thought about those jerkasses.
Even when they have people on from different ends of the spectrum, it's usually a charismatic and well-read conservative versus a poor-spoken generally unprepared 'liberal' that I'm convinced they just pick up off the street outside their studio. That happens for almost all the liberal guests on Fox.

14. Only freepers ....
bother to watch. And they are so stupid,they pay for it. Always I think that the typical Fox viewer longs to be on "the Jerry Springer Show". And why not its the same nonsense.

15. That's a funny comparison
What with Jerry Springer being an outspoken liberal and a Democrat delegate. He's actually a decently smart guy. His show's utter trash though.
