I addressed this a whole bunch of times here. I've said I was more concerned about his past convictions and past criminal record then I was about him now fooling the Feds and Fox. I don't believe a media outlet should be putting criminals on their shows to spew their opinions. If Fox didn't know about his past, then they should have vetted him better. If they did know about his past criminal record and still put him on the air, then shame on Fox.
Conservative Republicans here, and people who say they aren't Republicans but defend the GOP and the conservative media outlets seem to want to excuse Fox no matter what they do, but then in other threads they are foaming at the mouth mad about how lax and slanted the MSM is. Can't have it both ways. If Fox didn't know about this guy's past then they were lax. If they knew but didn't care because his views were in line with theirs then they are slanted.
One, neither you nor I have a say in who hires whom, we DO have the option of not watching, not participating.
Frankly, I don't see how Fox even comes into this, the man got too close to too much. That is the only point.
The American left worries far too much about Fox, are about as weirded out on at the Canadian Conservatives are about the CBC; a completely irrational reaction.
