Does Terry McAulliffe really think Faux is 'Fair and Balanced'

[russian33]

There was some discussion about this here yesterday, so here's a little something from Arianna Huffington:

A number of people came up to me last night to tell me that they'd seen Terry McAuliffe on The O'Reilly Factor and were taken aback that he had said that he thought Fox was "fair and balanced".

I hadn't seen the show but said that I suspected that if he had said it, he probably had his tongue very firmly planted in his cheek at the time.

I ran into "the Chairman", as those at the DNC tend to refer to him, (sorry, Terry, but I can't help but picture Mao whenever I hear the term!) at the Four Seasons at a lunch with Nancy Pelosi and John Edwards.

It was as I suspected.

"O'Reilly," McAuliffe rasped in a voice that is all but shot, "kept asking me if I thought Fox is a shill for the Republicans. I told him that I didn't have a problem with Fox because they always let me come on to speak my peace -- but that I definitely think that Fox News gets its talking points directly from the Republican National Committee."

"Did you say that Fox is 'fair and balanced'?

"Yeah, right after I said that I think Fox is 'slanted to the right'. It's called irony. The point is, like I told O'Reilly, as long as they put me on and let me make my case, that's all I can ask. I encourage all Democrats to go on Fox."

1. yeah....

I brought this up last night on DU after I saw Terry with O'Leilly...Terry's performance was awful...he even said that Bush did not lie us into war in Iraq but embelleshed the intelligence.

:wtf:
