When even your own news channel is pointing out that you're not governing (or even pretending to govern), then maybe it's time to...oh nevermind.

Whose own news channel? Stop associating Fox with every Republican as if they're all in a conspiracy.

To be fair, Chris Wallace didn't believe the polls were skewed last year and criticized those who brought it up, so he's practically a socialist.

It was all because they nominated that RINO Romney. If only they would nominate a True Constitutional Conservative.




















If only.

Hooray to Wallace for asking the right question.  Unfortunately, Eric Cantor doesn't speak reality.  He speaks a language that has far too few words to represent a reality that's quite complex.

Isn't Chris Wallace also the guy who exposed Ryan's utter incompetence during the "it would take too long to go through all the math" episode? Wow, looks like there actually is a half-decent journalist at Fox News.

I'm hearing a lot of rhetoric from the left. Perhaps you haven't heard of Juan Williams, Bob Beckel, or several of the other Democrats on Fox. Watch it for a week straight and then we can have a conversation about decency and fairness.

Where do you get the idea that Juan Williams is a Democrat?  Because he's black?  His positions are to the right of the Democrats so he's most likely an Independent or a Republican.  Indeed, his son ran and lost for a council seat in DC as a Republican in 2006 and interned for Strom Thurmond back in the late 90's.

Shep Smith is great. And Brett Baier isn't that bad either.

I like Chris Wallace, actually. Shepherd Smith is pretty good, but that's mostly because he mainly covers non-political, non-controversial news.

Haven't seen enough of Brett Baier to have an opinion of him.

Half-decent is exactly the right compliment for Chris Wallace, no more and no less.

Chris Wallace is one of the few very fair people on Fox.

He is more conservative than a lot of Democrats. How about the fact he worked for NPR until they fired him for a comment he made on Fox? His views are to the left and I have no idea about his family.

Are you seriously going to assert at the same time that working for Fox does not automatically make one a Republicans while working for NPR does make one a Democrat?

Dude, their idea of a left-right debate is having Ezra Klein and David Brooks on.

What's your idea?
Doug Schoen with Sean Hannity?
