“Fair & Balanced” was not just an ironic tagline…the opinion debate segments have always been a staged scam. . . with a scripted narrative and story line almost exactly like pro wrestling.

Yeah...I think it's called fake news, right? Just make it up on the fly...

Once I saw that photo of the blond in the black slip in the article, I couldn't keep my mind on the story. I need a cold shower !

Everything in any of the media is staged and made up for entertainment value. It's all"show biz". Neither side of the political spectrum gives a damn about you or I. Don't believe any of their bull crap !

When conversation starts debating which news source to watch, it usually comes down to which network has the sexiest women commentators.

And he stayed with his job for 14 years all along knowing/believing what he wrote in this article?

He also thinks the 68+ "La Z cowboys and cowgirls" are gullible and stupid...even his own father?

Major key here: He "drifted left during and after graduate school." No surprise, there! Yet, he took a job that, apparently, went against his beliefs, and he played into the alleged Fox game?

Now, after Roger Ailes' death, he feels compelled to defame the character of the man along with the whole Fox network, when he aided and abetted in the alleged "scam" himself?

Truth in this article or not, how very unethical of this man to speak up NOW! How very typically liberal characteristics espoused...defamation, ad nauseam, being the primary tool!!

what makes it more hilarious is that more liberals get their news from Fox than all other sources combined

Tobin Smith is a conservative.The one who drifted leftward was someone named Edwin Lyngard , whom Smith was quoting from Lyngard's book.The quotes were in italics to separate them from Smith's article.

The one who described Fox News viewers as "La Z cowboys and cowgirls" and the one who "drifted leftward after graduate school" are two different people.
