"In separate appearances on Fox News over the next two days, Lanny J. Davis, a former special counsel to Mr. Clinton, and Barbara Boxer, the Democratic senator from California, mocked the news channel’s trademarked motto of being “fair and balanced.”

And on Wednesday Paul Begala and James Carville, Democratic commentators for CNN, engaged in more than five minutes of high-decibel debate on Fox with Bill O’Reilly about Mr. Clinton’s appearance, daring Mr. O’Reilly to “come out of the closet” and admit Fox News is a “right-leaning, anti-Clinton network.”

1. I hope Dems won't allow themselves to be used.....

by Fox to enhance their ratings slump. I'm am waiting for the day that the Fox's, the Limbaughs and the Coulters of the world go the way of the dinosaur. I really hate the thought of Dems helping these clowns to increase their audience share, or sell whatever book they happen to be pimping this week.

IMHO.

2. Its about time..

... Fox is a joke to most of the country. Put a stake in it's heart, there is no risk whatsoever in speaking the obvious.
