Apearing On A TV Station Near You.

Has anyone noticed that with only one exception, every single potential Republican candidate for president who does not now hold elected office, is now a paid commentator on Fox News? Yep, if a Republican wins the 2012 election for president, he or she will likely also be an employee of Fox News. It's also important to know that there is not one single Democratic hopeful employed by any news network. What does that tell you about Fox News' claim of "fair and impartial"? Oh, by the way, Mitt Romney is the only Republican not on Fox's payroll. What does that tell you about all the other news networks? Which ones are more likely to be "fair and impartial"? Don't get me wrong, I think unemployed politicians should be allowed to work. But should they be working for a TV network, as a political commentator? Especially if they plan to run for high office? This is a new precedent for any news agency so far as I'm aware. I have seen in the past where people working for a news agency have resigned as soon as they decide to run for office, but never have I heard of people being hired because they might run for office. So I guess if you are a Republican who would never consider voting for anyone who is not a Republican, Fox News is the place where your only choices are showcased. But if you're a thinking Republican, or anyone else who might want to see who else might run, or who else might be of interest to you, you'll just have to look elsewhere. It's not that Fox News is Biased. Most news networks are biased to some degree. It's that Fox News is rabidly biased.
