  - Eh. I have a hard time disagreeing. Fox News is, bar none, the biggest cable news organization.  SteppingRazor   Jun-09-10 01:03 PM   #1 
  - It's rubbing salt in a wound to say it.  BurtWorm   Jun-09-10 01:07 PM   #2 
  - I agree they're more opinion than fact ... but the seat was occupied by an opinion columnist...  SteppingRazor   Jun-09-10 01:12 PM   #8 
     - So why should they get the seat? Why not a more senior journalist?  BurtWorm   Jun-09-10 01:20 PM   #13

  - As opposed to the former occupier of the seat, an opinion columnist? n/t  SteppingRazor   Jun-09-10 01:11 PM   #7 
     - all columnists have opinions - FOX has a single agenda . . . and it makes no  DrDan   Jun-09-10 01:15 PM   #11 
     - So, how is that different than having an op-ed columnist in that seat? n/t  SteppingRazor   Jun-09-10 01:16 PM   #12 
     - do not put Helen in the same category as those Fox fucks.  Whisp   Jun-09-10 01:31 PM   #15 
        - You have to understand, I'm not making value judgments here at all.  SteppingRazor   Jun-09-10 01:38 PM   #16 
  - I sure as hell would not let them in the building  HillbillyBob   Jun-09-10 01:08 PM   #5
