Political leanings of network anchors

Liberal is a good thing. No... liberal is a great thing. Liberals embrace reason and thought. Liberals seek progress and improvement. Liberals believe in the balance of powers. Liberals champion personal freedom, human rights and social responsibilty. Liberals believe in the separation of church and state.

Dan reported attrocities from the trenches of Viet Nam, the assasination of leaders, so I'm guessing those experiences have made impressions. He's as liberal as old Walter Cronkite.

I think the other two are more news readers than actual reporters.

I think its telling that you dont know for sure. That speaks to some bit (at least) of balance. Youre guessing from their hometowns and haircuts. The guys I worry about have the flag in their lapels and say things like "shut up" during their interviews.

I watch Fox like one watches a car wreck. I have to mention I saw Bill Maher take on Sean Hannity over the weekend over Hannity's book riddiculously titled "Deliver Us from Evil : Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism". Maher actually got him to admit that liberals were not evil. Perhaps Sean overstated. Sales, you know. That was sweet. Then the best part was when he asked Hannity something that he said he's been asking all conservatives. "Does it bother you that Bush sat stunned for 7 minutes in a classroom before taking any action, gathering any more information when he learned that the country was under attack?" Why didnt the commander and chief feel the immediate need to command? Not even excuse himself to gather more information. Particularly if he believe Iraq's nuclear attack could reach us within 45 minutes and not knowing the details of the country under attack. Dont you think he would be curious to get right on it?

Actually it was 27 minutes if you include the hanging around, figuring out the safest place to go (meanwhile endangering the whole school) After hemming and hawing Hannity conceeded that it was not the reaction he looks for in a commander in chief. Me neither.
