Ok, does liberal mean Democrat? Does conservative mean Republican? Then what the heck am I? An American with a vote and not afraid to use it.
You are one of the vast numbers of Americans (and a significant majority of the electorate) who cannot be easily categorized and is more interested in the actual issues and candidates than labels. ;-)

Exactly, I have never been a member of a political party.
It's like watching two dogs fight and neither one belongs to you.
Beck is trying to drive his ratings up.
We should be very, very careful of who we let go through rehab.

You're quite right.
Isn't Faux News the only "news organization" that, when it runs out of something to say (like real news), it resorts to having its "commentators" "inteview" its "commentators". This seems to happen repeatedly on Faux, but not on any other channel...hmmm...

weeelllll... I respectfully disagree and that in no way implies I'm a fan of 'Faux'. I'd define Maddow's derogatory segment on Beck to be just about the same thing. For that matter, Jon Stewart (who I adore) and O'Reilly (who I do not) sniping back & forth also qualifies under that umbrella IMO. It's like they've all resorted to eating their own 'tribe' (Buz' description is also very apt!).
Entertainment, for some, perhaps... but NOT news (on numerous 'news' programs/stations).

You're missing the point: You don't see correspondents on MSNBC or CBS or NBC or ABC or CNN interview each other. On these networks, the correspondents convey the news. They don't consider themselves the news. On Faux, they have a bunch of windbags that seem to think their opinion is the news. Can you say douchebags?

While I do enjoy watching the idiots get called out, I could definitely do with less "news" about other pundits on the shows.
Granted, it's a comedy treasure trove and you need to call BS on them, but it seems like more and more of the "news" is about what other "news" organizations are saying.

30ashopper, it is convenient for some to ignore the fact that all networks, not just Fox (the right term) more often than not, report controversial news with their network's particular bias. Being retired and pretty much a homebody, I watch a lot of news and opinion programs. Sadly, they all have a point they wish to make and have accepted.
