Every one of the hosts will say they are "commentators". Problem is they've been told how to comment on certain things in order for Dems to sound evil and Repubs to sound like saviors (or at least not as bad as Dems). That isn't news; that is spin. Steve,

But they're showing themselves as the face of the RNC with their absurd talking points. Franken was voted in. That's our system of government. Is that "crazy"? Will denying it do anything? Fox News has an audience, and they know how to talk to it, everyone knows that, how you actually feel about that depends on your political affiliation and sometimes intelligence.
