Who said they became Conservative politicians after working for Fox? This isn't about the Conservative politicians, it's about Fox hiring them. How can they be fair and balanced when they make it a practice to hire likely presidential candidates?
They're obviously biased and that taints their credibility as a news agency.
And you have absolutely no idea what journalism is. How is this different than having Paul Begala or James Carville on CNN?
Hint: Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity aren't journalists.
They don't claim to be either. Neither are Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann, or any of the fools you likely follow.
The sad thing is how folks like Wolf Blitzer, Katie Couric, or Dan Rather actually CLAIM to be journalists, when in fact they are obviously devoutly liberal. Once upon a time, the media machine got away with this because there wasn't an opposing view aired on TV. Cable, and Fox, changed all that, and now there's an opinionated political entermainment industry on both sides to disseminate the news in prime time.
The difference is, even O'Reilly and Hannity show the opposite view by bringing on legimitate liberal commentators like Juan Williams, Bob Beckel, Kirsten Powers, Alan Colmes......
MSNBC would NEVER do that. CNN brings on moderate conservatives and treats them like tokens.
In that respect, Fox is the only fair and balanced presenation you get. (And, for the record, I can't stand O'Reilly, Beck, or Hannity)
Watch Bret Baier, Neil Cavuto, Brit Hume, or Mike Wallace on Fox. Those are people I trust for accurate information.
