May I congratulate Rick Sanchez on his new show "Rick's List", offer my prediction that the show is gone in 6 months, and recommend the first name for his "list":
Jeffrey Smuzinick
But of course, Rick couldn't give two ##### about Jeff Smuzinick.

Re: Ailes Tops "50" List
Ole Cankles must be furious that Beck, O'Reilly, Ailes, Murdoch, and even Joy Behar, Joe Scarborough and Rachel Maddow made that list, but he didn't.
Poor little Mr. Czechoslovakia!

Re: Jane Hamsher
These attacks just spotlight how extreme the Fox Haters are at being imbeciles.
They complain when FNC has a right wing tilt, and they complain when FNC has a liberal on.

Hamsher is quite left, but she knows that she spoke to at least twice as many people on F&F as she did going on MSNBC.

Good job Chris.
The Fox Haters don't understand what the War on Christmas is about.
It's not about simply saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas", it's about those in power demanding that things such as "Merry Christmas" NOT be said, that images such as Santa Claus NOT be shown.
FNC did not "cut and run", I agree Chris, MM lied.

Hamsher wasn't exactly honest (or perhaps is ignorant) in her defense of going on FNC either.
"Theres a difference between helping to recruit Democratic viewers to Fox that they dont have, and bringing a message about PhRMA that divides Republican viewers from the party leadership by pointing out the hypocrisy of their talking points."
emphasis mine
She must not know that more democrats watch Fox than CNN or MSNBC!

Does anybody else think Jane Hamsher looks like Susan Powter?
