Lanny Davis shucks his Democrat costume, finally revels in his long-obvious Rethuggery

[monomach]

FOX has signed Davis as a political analyst and regular contributor, Bill Shine, senior vice president of programming, said today.

"I consider FOX News to be a network that genuinely tries to be balanced, offering political perspectives from all sides,'' Davis said in a Fox News news release.

1. Hell, I figured he had shucked his Democrat costume...

when he accused Ned Lamont supporters of being anti-Semitic.

2. Another opportunist willing to sell out to whoever will accept his BS.

3. Wes Clark was on Fox for a time. He is not a republican hack.

[Colobo]

4. But Lanny Davis is a hack.

5. The basis of this thread is that

Lanny has revealed his republician tendancies by signing up with fox. But, Clark signed up with Fox and he is not a hack. So, the premise of this thread is wrong.

Indeed, the way you reach out to republicans and independants is to speak where they listen. Reaching out beyond democrats is part of the Obama change strategy. Lanny is supporting Obama.

6. Lanny supports Obama in about the same way you do. Nuff said.

9. I believe it is inappropriate

for you to follow around an individual poster and attack her on baseless partisan beliefs.

The primaries are over K. Get over it and move on. You need to get on board the Obama campaign--unity rather than division.

7. How can any Democrat say that about Faux? Seriously

10. I watched primary coverage on several cable channels

And I beleive that Fox and CNN and MSNBC were all biased in their own way. Fox was the most neutral towards the democratic candidates when the topic was Clinton v. Obama, but of course attacked both dems relentlessly when the topic was republican v. democrat.

Conversly: CNN and MSNBC did not even attempt to pretend to be an unbiased news show. By the stories they highlighted 24/7, by the stories they ignored, by the stories they minimuzed, they showed bias.

Two sides of the same biased not-news coin.

8. Laney Davis makes me want to hurl. Ewww, he is NOT a Democrat in my eyes.

He is just a shill for the Rethugs.
