  1. Maybe it's just me, but I want a few liberals on Fox. I want criticism of the President, even if it unfair, so it can be exposed as such, but if it is fair, well fair is fair. I love President Trump, but he is not infallible. I disagreed with President Obama 99% of the time, but in that 1% of the time he did right in my view, he deserved credit for it. I don't want an echo chamber. We already have that in CNN and MSNBC. For them, Trump can do no right and Obama could do no wrong. I don't care for Cavuto, but I wouldn't want him gone, either. I want people that will challenge my viewpoint. That's what separates us from the left, they don't want a challenge, they just want to cram their ideas down your throat and force feed them to you. We need to be better than that. Let them speak their piece, and then we, as conservatives, can deconstruct it critically. Tucker is the master at that. He has always featured many left wing guests, let's them rant on about their opinion, then picks it apart to their face and exposes their stupidity and bias. And both Tucker, and O'Reilly when he was around, would be critical of the Republican party when warranted, and I think that is good. I have been a registered Republican ever since I was 18, but I don't agree with everything they do. To truly be balanced is to feature all viewpoints, even if some of them are garbage, and even if the people expressing them are garbage. Debate is good for everyone. I don't want an echo chamber, in the same sense that if I am shopping for a new car, I don't go to that vehicles fan forum for reviews, I go to Edmunds or Kelly, I watch the test drive on Motorweek, I want an unbiased review. CNN and MSNBC are the Democrat party's fan forum in that sense. I don't want Fox to be the same for the Republicans. That's the problem with people in general now. Nobody wants their opinions to be challenged. I do. It makes you think more critically. Personally, I don't find it interesting seeing a bunch of like minded people all sitting around patting each other on the back.

  2. I am 110% a supporter of President Trump. That said, I have no problem with Fox News being critical of him as long as it is fair criticism. I also have no problem with Fox having a few liberal contributors and hosts, and interviewing Democrats from time to time. Being overly biased to the right is no better than CNN and MSNBC being overly biased to the left. My feeling is that you can just be balanced, give all opinions a shot, and that the conservative viewpoint will still prevail on its own merits. As conservatives we don't need to be biased and/or deceptive like the left in order for our ideas to win support, because most of our ideas are logical and work on their own. So please, continue to show both sides, be critical of both, and give credit when due. We will still prevail, and in the process, give the left one less thing to moan about when they say "Fox is biased".

  3. I agree that them, and a few others, are not very good at fair reporting. But in a way I think it is healthy to have a few like that so their bias can be exposed. In a similar sense to how Pat Buchanan used to be on MSNBC and Jeffery Lord on CNN to be their right wing whipping boys that all the libs ganged up on, to be completely honest I feel like that's why we have people like Brazille and to a lesser degree Juan Williams (although Juan is pretty fair even though I disagree with him 90% of the time). Fox is still a conservative outlet, but featuring a few left wing personalities on the network gives you somebody to debate and gives you a better avenue to get your point across. CNN and MSNBC have just becomes left wing echo chambers. Fox does not want to be the right wing version of them.
