For Fox News to be fair and balanced.....
Shouldn't they allow someone on the left to spew hate for a couple minutes daily.....
to balance the forum given to that dope Mancow?

Today's typical minute contained him calling Democrats, "Dummycraps" and saying Hillary looks like she has Popeye arms and legs....

Now the more scandalous his statement the more the hosts of Fox and friends try to pony up a look of shock. But the bottom line is that program has given him a couple minutes on a daily basis to slam the left with hatespeach.

1. A difficult proposition...

To balance their coverage, Faux News would have to get someone as far to the left as they are to the right.... A difficult proposition seeing that Mao died in 1976 :P

2. I have heard that ass Mancow
and he is beyond contempt. We have our own Ray Lytle in Springfield. He is to dumb to write a good show yet somehow thinks he is smart enough to understand Shrubbie is always telling the truth and democrats always lie. I just avoid the twits show.

3. A couple of minutes?
How about half the evening instead? :P

You'd need Michael Moore doing a half-hour "No-Spin" show (haha).

You'd need a half hour "debate" show where Paul Krugman represents the left, and Al Franken represents the right.

You'd need a Gore Vidal/Howard Zinn show where they just review politics in general.

5. Nah
Noam Chomsky as the left, and Paul Krugman as the right.

6. That actually sounds about right...
Krugman isn't a leftist, that's for sure. He's a centrist with a liberal bent in my book.
