These are the only "liberals" Fox News allows to speak: the crackpots. They don't allow intelligent, moderate liberals on their shows (unless in the case of Alan Colmes you pair him with a much better looking, louder and more powerful conservative), and when an intelligent liberal does happen to get on, they simply shout them down. Fox News is the most biased news organization in this country. Watch the documentary "Outfoxed" which uses internal memos showing how Fox manipulates its "news" coverage.

I did watch "Outfoxed," which is a crock of bullcrap. Most of it was just a bunch of blanket accusations with little to no proof so that a bunch of self-righteous liberals could point and say, "See, there's your bias."
Then there's E.D. Hill, one of the most outspoken people on the Fox News channel and, guess what, a liberal. She, like Zell Miller and the throng of Democrats that have left the party of kooks, despises the modern Democrat and wants a return to their base values. I've heard her arguing quite vehemently with O'Reilly, Hannity, Cavuto, and many others. Then there's the fact that she's better looking than any of them.
I also know that it's not just kooks on there. Hannity and O'Reilly have had Democratic senators and spokesmen on there a number of times, and they let them talk, too. The only time they get shouted down is when they go off on a five minute monologue and the guy who, you know, runs the show wants to refute some point the guy has made. I guess it looks biased when you compare it to Larry King, who lets anybody ramble on and on throughout the entire interview without so much as a challenge.
And then there's the fact that Fox News is the highest rated news channel in the country now, and the other stations are finally allowing conservatives on their stations to try to regain market share and recoup their losses. You really think Glenn Beck would be on Headline News if Hannity wasn't pounding them on ratings?
