Is Karl Rove retiring to Fox News and being introduced as "Fox News Analyst" inappropriate/a sign of Fox's bias?

Depends. I've seen some of his commentary. It's clearly slanted to the right but I haven't seen any real Roveian tactics or hit jobs.

I don't believe its inappropriate and no more a sign of bias than CNN or MSNBC having former clinton advisors and insiders.

Wait, when did he get back into the country and whatever happened to the subpoena that he skipped out on?

I'm guessing your referring to the latest partisan scandal Democrats invented to silence those they can't legitimately beat?



Sorry, but as much as it may have appeased the left's crackpot conspiracy theorist base, that witchhunt went nowhere...and it has nothing to do with the topic. Please, learn to control your partisan hate.

Who are they?

I saw a former Clinton advisor on Hannity last week and he was anything but left.

There's no doubt there's bias there. I don't know why anyone would think differently.

You're probably talking about Dick Morris. He turned against the Clintons while serving under them and has been their most vocal critic. But plenty of other former partisan Democrat operatives have been hired by Fox and every other TV and cable news source. The reason I ask if Rove's position is inappropriate is to see how many hypocrites we have here willing to denounce it when Rove does it after defending it as harmless the other 99% of the time when its Democrats. Didi Myers served on Fox for quite a while, so does Susan Estrich, and Kirtsten Powers.

Because some of us aren't so unfamiliar with getting multiple sides of the story that it comes off as bias when it happens. Generally, it is liberals that live such a sheltered existence.

Are we talking about Rove here? Then yes. Yes, it does.
