How does Alan Colmes live with himself?
Doesn't he realize TV is all about framing, and chosing what to cover?

Today, Hannity has a black panther on to discuss Obama, then they show an edited clip of an antiwar protest. Protesters are all long haired, disheveled, cussing, and violent. Pro war people are peaceful, cleancut, and holding signs.

Colmes legitimizes this biased reporting by thinking his week, edited voice somehow provides balances.

If this were France, he would be Vichy Colmes.

4. I assume he gets paid well ...
... and has no real conscience. Maybe he gets to sleep with that Duhe chick, or even Hannity himself.

6. Alan Colmes Loses Argument With Nephew
NEW YORK—Alan Colmes, the liberal co-host of the Fox News debate program Hannity & Colmes, lost an argument to his nephew Bryan while babysitting the 8-year-old Monday. "I wanted to stay up late to watch television, but Uncle Alan said, 'There's already too much self-parenting in America,'" Bryan said. "So I started screaming, 'Mom lets me, Mom lets me,' real loud. He gave in after, like, 20 seconds." In the past two years, Bryan has won arguments with Colmes on the subjects of Pokémon cards, Crunch Berries cereal, and steel tariffs.

9. The legitimacy he gives Hannity and Fox outweighs the value
of his arguement. If he had any integrity he would quit.

"Payday's on friday, and don't pick your teeth while you work."

12. I don't get the impression he's qualified for much else.
Hannity NEEDS a fall guy for the kabuki of 'strength' ... since his positions can't stand up to fair scrutiny.
