Can't we just ignore him and hope he goes away?

Dennis Miller to join Fox News this fall 1 hour, 26 minutes ago

NEW YORK - Dennis Miller is hardly shy about expressing his conservative political views.

The 52-year-old comedian, who has voiced his support for President Bush and the U.S. invasion of Iraq, will talk politics as a contributor on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes," network spokeswoman Dana Klinghoffer told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Miller starts Sept. 13.

He will also provide commentary on the Fox News Web site, Klinghoffer said.

In 2003, Miller was a regular guest on "Hannity & Colmes," hosted by Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes. He also had his own short-lived CNBC political talk show, "Dennis Miller."

Three years ago, he was talked about as a possible Republican senatorial candidate in California.

Miller, who delivered a fake newscast on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," also spent two seasons on the announcing team of ABC's "NFL Monday Night Football."

His HBO talk show, "Dennis Miller Live," aired from 1994-2002.

We could always read truthout instead

FOX is annoying ... I prefer CNN, but lately, CNBC is good

Good point. Truthout's agenda is significantly less dangerous.

Too bad the reality isn't even in the same universe as that statement.

Fox viewers, by definition, aren't interested in reality:

"In the degree to which journalists are allowed to offer their own opinions, Fox stands out. Across the programs studied, nearly seven out of ten stories (68%) included personal opinions from Fox's reporters -- the highest of any outlet studied by far.

Just 4% of CNN segments included journalistic opinion, and 27% on MSNBC.

Fox journalists were even more prone to offer their own opinions in the channel's coverage of the war in Iraq. There 73% of the stories included such personal judgments. On CNN the figure was 2%, and on MSNBC, 29%.

The same was true in coverage of the Presidential election, where 82% of Fox stories included journalist opinions, compared to 7% on CNN and 27% on MSNBC."

How much of a Fox hour is actually devoted to straight news? About 5 minutes maybe? The rest is discussion and opinion programming, and their discussion and opinion bias is obvious and by design. Unfortunately, most people don't understand the difference.
