So FOX has its own pick for President? Big deal. They're a shill for the GOP, anyway. Let the GOP candidates left out in the cold, worry about it. Poor Babies.

Giuliani was also on that right wing nut job Charlie Rose's show this morning. It's funny to see the NYT try to gin up conspiracy theories about bias.

I see they don't bother to put up the numbers on how MSN favors the Billery campain over Biden or Dodd, even Obama. Talk about 'left' out in the cold. Far Left. Could there be a conspiracy? ooohh.
Nah, just media as usual.

Guiliani and his wife are both lying greaseballs. More of this is soon to come out, as the truth is hard to conceal when your a lying greaseball.

Maybe Rudy is always on Hannity's show because his best friend Ann Coulter is always on as well. I hear Rudy is looking on where to divorce Judy and find his 4th wife, and Hannity's show is a prime place to meet a nut job conservative.

I believe it. FoxNews has always had an agenda for the people they support. Murdoch even has admitted to such recently. Given that they are increasingly becomming opinion media...but I'm sure Rudy is just smart enough to ask for more appearances than the other candidates.

they don't call CNN the "Clinton News Network" for nothing you know. Hannity has Rudy on his radio show a lot, but he has also had the other GOP candidates on his show as well. I'm sure Hillary would love to go on his radio show LOL!

Jerry -- "they" don't call it the "Clinton News Network", only right-wingers who have created and believe in the myth of the liberal media do. Ironic that neither Clinton was actually a liberal, huh?

In any case, it is a little scary that FOX (and, more specifically, Roger Ailes) is going to do what it can to hand-pick the GOP presidential candidate. Certainly there's a problem in the media and, sorry Jerry, your crackpot conspiracy theories notwithstanding, it's not that it's too liberal. The problem is the increased corporatization of the media and its emergence as a an entertainment medium rather than a journalistic medium. It would be asking too much for other Republicans to stand up to Ailes but it sure gives you another reason to root for someone other than Giuliani (as if you needed another reason).

Chuck, If CNN is too liberal, they really need to get rid of Wolf Blintzer. Is Air America too liberal? I wouldn't know anymore, they had to ditch the station here and now they put on something that people here would rather listen to more then the hot air of Rachel Meadows and Randi Rhodes...

Why does everybody hate the 'liberal' media so much? Because, being the media, they report all the dumb, stupid, immoral, ill-conceived things some people seem intent on doing day in and day out. They are merely the messenger. They report what's going on. It would be like saying "Damn! Another house fire in our town last night. Wish that media would quit reporting those house fires!!" I have to admit, though, that it is kind of fun to watch all those on the right piss and moan about the media so much, when it's THEIR people that are screwing up day in and day out. The anger is overwhelming. Don't believe me? Read some of the posts that come to us from, say, Texas, TN, or Oregon on a regular basis.

For republicans anything that is critical of their party is "liberal". I used to watch FoxNews all day(b/c of their mix of entertainment news and opinion) and they almost convinced me to consider the Republican ticket..but when Iraq turned worse and it was obvious the administration was incompetent I began turning to MSNBC and to a lesser degree CNN for "fair and balanced" coverage. If anything, I learned the dangers of indoctrination...and came to recognize the knee jerk attitudes of a typical foxnews viewer. It's a shame; the conservative brand used to considered more intellectual and nuanced when I was young.

I can announce the "Jerry" poll. It took a while but I have asked 100 people who they are voting for on the democratic side.

55 said Edwards
30 said Clinton
6 said Obama
4 said Dodd
3 said richardson
1 said Biden
1 said gravel

On the GOP side:

91 said Rudy
8 said Mitt
1 said Thompson

Put it one on one:

Rudy V Hillary

Rudy 92
Hillary 8

Rudy V Obama

Rudy 97
Obama 3

Rudy V Edwards

Rudy 84
Edwards 16

See the nice point the politico makes in Jonathan Martin's blog....about the good friendship between JFK and Ben Bradlee, who ran the Washington Post. Also no mention that Murdoch, who owns fox, threw a fundraiser for Sen. Clinton. AH, the lovely, fair-and-balanced NYTimes. Bet the lefties dont notice the Times lack of balance, hey?

I don’t care much about Rudy’s home life, his personality quirks or his media ties . What I do wonder is why no one questions his resume. Since when is ANY mayor’s office a stepping stone to the Presidency of the United States? The man has no foreign policy experience. Can we afford that in these times?

BTW, F from St Louis: Speaking as an Italian American I resent your ethnic slurs. Giuliani may be a liar, but you are a creep.

Nothing here about Ron Paul? Hmmm...
Ron Paul, the most popular candidate on the internet?
Ron Paul, The candidate who 14% of all donors to the R party candidates contributed to?
Ron Paul, The candidate that recieved contributions from more than half of ALL military personel who contributed to ANY D or R candidate?
Ron Paul, The candidate who has a value of $2,354,855 in his campaign chest as opposed to Romney $3,176,526; Giuliani $18,326,220; McCain $1,440,905?
Ron Paul, the candidate that all of the other R candidates are changing their positions (again) so that they can sound like him?
Why is MSNBC trying to hide Ron Paul from us?

Republicans have little shot in 2008 so what's the difference? the Congress wil be Democrats , especially the House so republican pres would have to play ball. Too many hole in the armour after 8 yrs of Bush. A lot of average joe Republicans have been creamed and are not going to vote republican. They wanted to pray, now they have to.
