Regardless of perceived opinions of Anita Dunn and her reference to Mao, she is absolutely correct in her assessment of cable news networks. And I would have gone further... On Joe Scarborough: I mean, yes...he IS on MSNBC...and Scarborough is the dominant conservative voice of his namesake morning show on what is perceived as otherwise a reliably liberal cable news network (Of course, he does have regular help from "crazy uncle" Pat Buchanan ....and jeez, if I hear Joe go on about how great he thinks Reagan was one more time, I think I'll puke! ...but I digress...)
And that's all true enough for the most part, but I think the liberal label as a perceived equal counterweight to FOX News really a misrepresents the presentation of the network. Because after Joe, you have Dylan Ratigan, who clearly leans liberal - or do I detect a libertarian streak? - doing his Morning Meeting. He comes from the financial halls of CNBC and yes he is hard on Wall Street ....and he is critical of President Obama on a daily basis over his handling of the crisis and "too big to fail banks." He lectures how the President should kick out Larry Summers and Timothy Geithner ....on a daily basis. He doesn't give Barney Frank any slack either. I will say Ratigan is fair for the most part ...and and I believe he is the smartest host among ANY of the cable networks, bar none.
The network does get decidedly more liberal following Andrea Mitchell in the afternoon. But I think to compare Glenn Beck as an intellectual equal of Chris Matthews or Ed Schulz is downright laughable. If FOX WANTS to be taken seriously, then give us someone with intellectual firepower. Where's today's William F. Buckley? Sadly, you won't find him residing ANYWHERE at FOX....
(Oh, I'm sure Britt Hume or Chris Wallace may think they are in the same league...
....PFFFT LOL ROFLMAO!!!!) -
