Right-wing blogosphere discovers Fox's Karl Rove problem

September 15, 2010 10:36 am ET by Matt Gertz

"Fox News should require Rove to answer to this charge... You can't be both a political player and an autonomous, disinterested analyst." -- Warner Todd Huston

"{U}ntil this is resolved, it seems impossible to trust Rove as an objective analyst" -- Dan Riehl

Yes, the right-wing blogosphere has suddenly realized that Fox News' Karl Rove -- the architect of President George W. Bush's election and re-election -- may not be the best choice as an impartial, objective political analyst. The problem they have with Rove, though, is not that he favors Republicans over Democrats -- it's that he allegedly favored one Republican over another.

Last night, the right-wing news site The Freedomist (no, we hadn't heard of it either) reported:

Sources at the Christine O'Donnell victory party revealed to The Freedomist that in December of last year Karl Rove met with Tea Party leaders in Dover, Delaware trying to get them to cut a "deal" in which they would leave Mike Castle alone and NOT support O'Donnell.

The Freedomist has also learned that Rove was allegedly acting as an operative, although in what capacity it is not known, even as he is playing the role of a political analyst on Fox New in a fair and balanced way.

The Freedomist went on to "urge Fox News, in light of this information, to suspend Rove and investigate whether or not this is true and, if it is true, to fire Rove immediately for violating Fox's policy of being fair and balanced and for vilifying a Palin-endorsed conservative icon." :spray:

2. It's not the bias that bothers them.

It's the WRONG bias. Had he pushed for the teabaggers, that would have been fine with them.

[bushisanidiot]

3. I love when the republicons publicly stab eachother in the back.

This is better than waiting for the "tell all" book of how republicon operatives tried to sway the tea party and how the tea party tried to sway the republicon establishment.

These idiots don't even realize they're on the same side. HAHAHAHAHA!!

5. This is what happens when you pump the ideal into the nit wits heads that

the reason they lost an election was because RINO's are in the party and the nit wits start a witch hunt to drive moderates out of the party and have a pure conservative party then give them a chance to create a purity test where none but the complete bat shit crazy can pass said test. Want proof look no farther then what they have to say about who drove the country off the cliff, the nit wits claim the country was doing great until the Dems took congress over in 2006, enough said.

6. Freepers were upset about what Rove said on Hannity last night.

They are now ready to dump Rove.

It's fucking hilarious.
