on news shows on politics or whatever, we have, you know, democrats and republicans and libertarians, whatever. but the other networks have well, i think they have they tend to be democrats. they tend to be democrats? yeah, let s be honest about it. no, but i mean is that a bad thing to be a democrat? no, but we re not republicans. oh, you re not a republican? no. you re a conservative? no, i might be a he said radical there. rupert murdoch, radical. don t tell glenn beck. according to murdoch, fox is not republican. this question from the audience should be a can of corn. you mention that there are democrats as well as republicans on fox news, i was wondering if you meant democrats employed by fox news and if so, who would that be? i wish i could tell you the couple of names, but they re ....
Agent with cia, great thanks for your time tonight. thank you. thank you, keith. for the politics of this, let s turn to richard wolffe, also of course the author of renegade, the making of a president. good evening. good evening, keith. if you look at the news today, basically it seems nobody is sweating what should at least look like a tough ethical, legal and national call. is that a correct assessment? pretty much, in the traditional media i think that s right. online we ve seen commentary from the right broadly positive, maybe some criticism from libertarians on the left. you know those people who are concerned with this thing called the constitution seem to be sweating it. but in terms of the newspapers, it is perplexing. you know, i come back to hearing criticism from the bush officials, it may be weird for them to hearmy citing it on this show, but they may say, if it was warrantless wiretapping and that led to several pages of covering day after day, how come this ....
He s been acting longer than sarah palin s been in politics. they don t care. i suppose they could respond by busting alan colmes to voice over announcer or something. he s been doing well. you ve been doing a lot of these tea party rallies, what is the tea party view of the fox news channel? is it sort of like a televised version of the revealed word? that s not unfair. fox news is the only media network outlet that everyone trusts. some people will tell you they read national review but fox news is the one that gets signs waved across any rally. any rally with more than 100 people have at least one sign saying thank you fox news or thank you glenn beck. it was a good question. he dodged it, slept through it or whatever he did. what responsibility does fox news have for promoting the tea parties? but if they never promoted the ....
That was not a huge surprise because he is trying to find some space in the republican race if sarah palin doesn t enter it as the conservative you can trust. but this is a guy who s thrived pretty well as a moderate republican, and he links arm in arm with sarah palin and michele bachmann. i mean, this is another this is now that palin is back in politics, now that bachmann is on tv every five or six minutes, there s no surprise about this. just more surprising when you see a republican willing to jump on board this train. pawlenty has rubbed the skin off his hand pulling that steering wheel over as far as he can. some people have done that with regret. we ll see how that plays out for him. david weigel, great thanks. that s countdown. this programming note for tomorrow, john hodgeman will be joining me here for a very special announcement in which i kind of concede defeat. leave the details for tomorrow. in the interim, i m keith olbermann, good night and good luck. ....
One maybe people thought when dennis blair said something on capitol hill in january that made it old news. but this is a much more specific report, and it s at least worthy of debate in the news pages. where does this rank on that scale of events when we talk about illegally detaining and torturing people, as compared to simply announcing that we have the right, the president has the right, as was earlier stated, but here s an example, that the president has the right to have somebody shot out of this world. well, look. i think the administration, and they haven t made this argument explicitly, but they seem to have a carve-out for what goes on on foreign territory. it may be a practical argument, they may say this is broadly defined as the battle field and the president has these executive powers. but that s, frankly, an argument the bush administration would make. it seems that the politics of this has moved to such a point that the administration has taken on a very aggressive, ....
