From a Q&A with D.L. Hughley
Q But does a liberal comedian really belong on a news network that boasts of being nonpartisan?

A I always find it ironic that people talk about journalistic integrity and then Fox News leads in the ratings. People who do best on these types of shows -- Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity -- come with clearly defined points of views. It's the people that dance in the middle that I have a problem with.

3. I like Hughley, but
dislike his CNN show. It's obviously highly edited, but, to me, not very funny.

Nice guy, bad environment/outlet.

6. Hate his show!
Like Hughley - think he's smart and funny. His show is neither.
