You get the best of both worlds with Sharron Angle. Not only do you get to support a well-grounded, bright, passionate Conservative who's sole intention is to do what is best for Nevada, but at the same time you get to toss out one of the worst, most progressive, spendocrats that the free world has ever seen.

I voted for Angle thinking that I would vote for the best candidate and if Sue won then she was a good second choice. Pinky is going back to Searchlight in November.

I thought this article was pretty interesting. It doesn't reflect particularly well on either Angle or Fox News.

Progressives need to make a big deal about any little thing. Fox did make a mistake about her experience. So What? Other than that the interview went pretty well, unless you are a progressive. Pinko better watch what he wishes for. He probably won't like it in November.

Uh, don't even try and pretend like if the “MSM” did anything even close to this you wouldn't be immediately jumping down their throats for being slaves to the liberal establishment.
I would say that when our supposed “news” agencies can't even be bothered to do the most basic research necessary to present a candidate's record accurately, that's a cause for concern.
Say what you want about the other news outlets, but Fox is by far the most openly partisan one out there.
- williamm
Get real. Danny, even tho I usually disagree with you, I still respect your opinion in most cases, but saying Fox is by far the most partisan is a joke.

As with past accusations of poor journalism and partisanship, I imagine the defense here will be that “Fox 'n Friends” isn't a formal “news show” and thus shouldn't be held to the same standards. That'd be my guess anyway.
I will say this election will be one to watch. If Angle can't beat Reid, that would certainly hurt the popular “Tea Part/anti-incumbent/women power narrative.” But I still expect Angle to win.

I say that MSNBC is not really a news organization. Keith O spends most of his time reporting on what Beck, Hannity, and O'Reilly says. Chris Matthews spends his time suffering from a tingle down his leg. Tell me that The Ed Show is nonpartisan. Even tho I don't agree with Maddow,I won't say anything bad about her. Her show can be entertaining.

Yeah, Maddow's a class act and the only real news anchor on that network.
I suppose I spoke too soon, as MSNBC is undoubtedly as partisan as Fox in its “opinion time” and I've never spent any time trying to engage with any of its hard news (beyond probably 1/2 of Rachel Maddow's show which will deal with pretty non political issues – her coverage of the oil spill, for example, has been at least 80% scientific).
What I haven't seen on MSNBC, though, is gross inaccuracies in their interviews like this one. I'm not accusing Beck or Hannity or O'Reilly of the same, but this is pretty inexcusable. They clearly didn't read up on her at all and just shoehorned her into the narrative that they thought characterized the entire event – which means, of course, that her appearance on the show was little more than a campaign stop, and a far cry from “journalism”. If MSNBC's morning show wasn't Joe Scarborough perhaps they'd be this inaccurate as well, but either way they're both on a race to the bottom.
And, look, aside from tons of scattered evidence, Andy Card pretty much admitted that the White House would turn to Fox News to help push things (Card's word alone might not suffice, but it's backed up by a lot of other people. I suggest watching Outfoxed on Youtube – it's not the most impartial piece of documentary, but a lot of it is reasonably accurate). If you're concerned about totalitarianism, that fact in and of itself should make you uncomfortable.

I think as far as the view of which network is “most partisan” depends greatly on where the individual places themselves politically. If you are a liberal or politically left of course you will look at Fox as being a right-leaning network, the same would hold for a conservative or person on the right except they would see MSNBC as left-leaning. However far more Networks currently lean leftwards than to the right. Perhaps out of fear of being labeled “racist” or worse, you'd have to ask their management. For the most part I see MSNBC as a fear-mongering hate-machine,why, for one their almost nonchalant echoing of the “racist” tag towards anyone who questions or opposes Obama's policies, a prime example of their rhetoric was the questioning of “the lack of “diversity” of the tea party movement while their own line up of anchors shows even less ethnic diversity. Of all the networks the one that appears to be drifting back towards center is CNN although probably in an attempt to regain some sort of status of non-biased reporting and ratings by separating themselves from their competition a bit. However most of Fox News' partisanship is because they are the only network that has consistently challenged the political establishment, there was a time when all News outlets did this, but perhaps many here that “cast stones” at Fox over this are too young to remember this. It was referred to as a “journalistic responsibility” to “question authority”. Just something to think about. BTW, just about every network misread or miscast Sharron Angle.

How critical was Fox of the political establishment through the period spanning from January 21, 2001 to January 19, 2009?
- KeninMontana
Considering that the time frame you're giving is the years of Bush the youngers presidency, I'd guess not nearly critical enough for your liking. However they did cover his presidency both good and bad with a more even handed approach than most if not all of their competitors. During those years they featured Hannity and Colmes, Shepard Smith was very critical of Bush. I remember very well Fox News running and following the “yellow cake” story as well. They certainly didn't pull punches on the prosecuting of the war in Iraq, you'll recall information on WMDs being here and there was followed up on and they made no excuses for the administration giving out erroneous information. Were they hyper critical of Bush's administration? I'd say no, but then the Bush administration did not “declare war” and try to shut them out of the information flow either. I would also add that President Bush did not lash out at any of the networks even those that were hyper critical of him.
Sharron Angle is a great candidate and she’s leading against Harry Reid. I made the comment on twitter that though she sounds like a politician, she sounds more like a human being. I know it’s all words, but she strikes me as a woman with common sense who is grounded in good values and conservatism. The contrast I like to make to someone like Angle is JD Hayworth. I know he’s the best candidate in AZ, but he is like 90% politician and 10% human being. He sounds like a slimy car salesman who will sell you pinto and try to make you believe it’s a Ferrari. Sharron Angle doesn’t strike me that way at all. She is a great mix and I really really hope she wins. If you want to support her go to http://www.sharronangle.com
