Fox viewers deserve to hear another viewpoint for once. I only hope that Dennis changes Fox a little bit, a not the other way around.

To be honest, I don't think this arrangement is going to last for very long.

Well, they did NOT hire him to undermine their propaganda Demo_Chris Jan 2013 #6

It's amusing to see one of what calls itself "the Left" do exactly what they've damned PO for. patrice Jan 2013 #32

Now the question is who uses whom. My guess is that DK doesn't have what it takes to be anything patrice Jan 2013 #33

For $$$$$, as an Obama fighter, to keep his face in the public view and something to do. He will be RKP5637 Jan 2013 #34
