I’m starting to reassess my opinion of you. I don’t think you’re conservative at all but a liberal plant out to make Fox News look bad. 
 
Gibby, the guy’s who previously childishly called John Edwards the “Breck Girl, Silky,” boasted about a list of loaded questions he hopes to ambush Edwards with and released a stream of partisan screams of “bull” at Edward’s statements, is sanctimoniously complaining the Democrats are boycotting Fox News while, again, unable resist the urge to smack Edwards one last time:
 
“What did Brian Kilmeade say? We couldn’t get John Edwards out of the building. He’s hanging around the green room eating danish and sipping coffee.”
 
Yeah, I’m sure “fair and balanced” Gibby hasn’t figured out why face-stuffing hypocrite John Edwards boycotts Fox News. I’m sure Angry Rich, Gibby’s radio sidekick, is particularly confused following his accusation that Edwards is “whoring” his wife’s cancer.
 
Does any of Gibby’s and Angry Rich’s shtick reach the definition of “juvenility” that you ban by rule? Probably not because you apparently like featuring “bathtub boy” yourself. Only liberals can be juvenile?
 
So we have former Republican Congressman and MSNBC front man Joe Scarlboro duking it out with Fox right-wingers O’Reilly and Gibby over Fox News’ right-wing bias. It’s an argument a liberal like me can’t lose. 
 
Especially, in the light of Gibby’s stunningly exposed argument. He’s admitting Fox News isn’t inherently balanced by conceding “there are lots of conservative people on the air here” and offsetting that with Geraldo, a journalist of questionable quality who specializes in real life soap operas. 
 
The threadbare argument that Fox News employs a couple of liberal analysts and invites liberal guests into their conservative Circus Maximus holds no water. Even if MSNBC is the liberal equivalent of Fox News - and that appears to me to be a weak argument - because don’t they, in turn, invite conservatives on their network too? So what’s Gibby’s complaint?
 
Scarlboro’s overly glib observation that every Fox News employee behind the camera is a conservative is him being far too cute. But the central argument of bias and which network criticizes who the most isn’t one Gibby want should want to breach. It’s big loser.

So because of something said on a talk show, therefore Edwards is justified in boycotting the Fox news channel? Shouldn't he boycott ABC News, since Sean Hannity and Mark Levin have said FAR worse things on ABC talk radio? All of a sudden you are equating talk radio shows with news programming? Why exactly is it that only Fox's talk radio programs, heard by only a small fraction of the audience that Hannity and Levin get, are reasons to boycott Fox News, but ABC's talk radio programs are not reasons to boycott ABC News?

I see, so it's "childish" when someone like Gibson calls Edwards a name and it's sardonic fun when Stewart/Colbert/Olbermann heap all sorts of derisive names on politicians. Plus, why isn't Angry Rich's comment about Edwards bolstered by the reality that Edwards used Fox News when it served his purposes. Seems to me, that fact, makes his comment more cogent. Scratch that, why is Olbermann the only show on all of cable news or any "news" that NEVER has an opposing viewpoint? Surely, you won't beg off that obvious fact.

Don't forget, Olbermann did have a conservative on once. It was someone who agreed with him on one point and that's all they discussed.
 
Don't try to tell us that Olby/MSNBC aren't fair!

By extension, if one hates Fox News they also hate America.
