And one of my favorite guys is John Stossel and his show on the weekends on Fox. A true Libertarian who enrages O'Reilly and Hannity with his "pro-choice" "anti-drug war" and other Libertarian ultra-liberal views.
Juan Williams was hired full-time by Fox News when he was fired by NPR for just appearing on FNC (how incredibly biased of NPR)
In my opinion...looking at it from an entertainment standpoint only...it's why Fox News gets the highest ratings. Not only do they have quite a few liberals on FNC, but they all go head to head with O'Reilly and Hannity.
To me, it's sort of like pro wrestling. O'Reilly and Hannity are the "villains" with big muscles and seemingly unbeatable. And then they will bring on liberal guests who present the good guy facing insurmountable odds.
That's Entertainment 101
And that's why MSNBC is so low rated. They try to have opinion shows...but can't figure out that ages old entertainment formula.
Rachel Maddow smirking and agreeing with 3 other guests who all agree with her is just boring as hell to watch. Doesn't matter if her point is right or wrong.
It would be like tuning into pro wrestling and seeing two good guys have a "scientific" clean wrestling match. Who the hell wants to watch that?
I want to see the bad guy throwing low blows and cheating and putting the good guy in peril.
That's what sells movies, t.v. shows, pro wrestling, etc.
So yeah...Fox News not only has liberals...it absolutely NEEDS liberals.

hah, I can see this being the case, even without watching either channel in ages. I didn't know geraldo is still around. He's always been a bleeding-heart liberal but is he a 21st century/2014 liberal? In other words, he's now a lib who advocates bannings, regulations and control to advance the "liberal" agenda?
