Haven't people to the left of Fox's target audience always complained about Fox being the mouthpiece of the Bush administration? And isn't Karl Rove widely acknowledged as "Bush's Brain"?

I'd imagine that Fox coming out and hiring Rove as an analyst is tantamount to them screaming "WE HAVE A STRONG NEOCON BIAS!!!" at the top of their lungs.

And considering this is the news channel that touts themselves as "Fair and Balanced," screaming their bias at the top of their lungs doesn't seem like a move that will increase their credibility. Does this mean that Fox is dropping the bull**** about their neutrality? Perhaps they've totally stopped giving a **** about viewers who aren't calcified republicans?
