What supposedly neutral news anchors and pundits are conservative? |
|
I don't want any speculation or accusations based on coverage of certain candidates. I want to know based on facts, like the thread about Bill Schneider, which supposedly neutral news personalities are conservatives.

2. Tucker Carlson boasts that he's non-partisan. |
|
Tucker Carlson boasted that he's non-partisan during a joint-appearance with Al Franken on the cable-show "Tim Russert" about six months ago.
Tucker Carlson previously slammed the memorial to Paul Wellstone without having seen the memorial, so it is questionable if Tucker Carlson is really non-partisan.

3. Chris Matthews is sometimes cited as a liberal, incorrectly. |
|
From wikipedia.com:
Before getting his show, Matthews worked as a presidential speechwriter for Jimmy Carter and a top aide to long-time Speaker of the House of Representatives Thomas P. 'Tip' O'Neill.
Matthews may have since changed to a more conservative viewpoint. "I'm more conservative than people think," and "I've voted Republican many times, (including) George W. Bush in 2000", Matthews said during an October 3, 2003 broadcast of "Hardball."

4. He's also said he's not so sure about 2004 |
|
and giving his vote to Bush again.
He ticks me off sometimes, too. But often, he'll suprise me. Like when he told Ann Coulter she doesn't deal with facts and she hasn't been seen on his show since. :thumbsup:

5. I loved the time he said |
|
"What, are you in bed with the President on every issue?"
She was speechless.

8. I'm talking about people |
|
like Bill Schneider. People who don't literally say "This is good; this is bad." You know what I'm talking about. Carlson and O'Reilly may claim to be nonpartisan, but even that doesn't mean neutral. I want to know about people who supposedly just report the news or supposedly give unbiased analysis. Carlson and O'Reilly are pretty obviously rightist and therefore are not what I'm talking about.

10. Is there anything more surprising? |
|
The Bill Schneider thing led me to think that there are CNN closet-cons too. Any info? What about Deborah Norville; is she clean?
