News - Fair And Balanced?

So says FOX News.  Hardly balanced since FOX leans as far right as all the others lean left.

You have to wonder, though, with anchors moving on.  While the positions being vacated on FOX are being filled with current employees, I wonder what NBC has in mind with the hiring of Megan Kelly and now Greta Van Susteren is going to MSNBC!  If anything, MSNBC is the furthest left of them all.

My question is whether the NBC family is trying to become more balanced or if the long time FOX anchors have no personal political convictions and are at best opportunists.  Especially Ms. Kelly who is no where near worth what they will be paying her.

I don't know any details about Ms. Van Susteren but I doubt either will have any FOX viewers following them.  I really don't.

It would be wonderful if each would bring some balance to their respective channels but I doubt they will.  Those who are faithful followers, just as those of FOX, will watch for a time and if the newcomers don't preach to the choir their ratings will tank and that will be that.

I have two questions.  Does anyone ever return to FOX after having left?  And, unrelated, can CNN really continue to keep Don Lemon after his latest blunder stating he didn't think the beating and torture of a mentally challenged man by a bunch of Chicago thugs was "evil" but pardoned the behavior because of "bad home training".

Please.

We Need A Lemon Law For Don Lemon

I think it may be time for CNN to tell Don Lemon his services are no longer wanted.  He has gone way beyond the bounds of propriety by insinuating himself into the Ferguson situation.  As a "reporter" it was not his place to do so on air.  Whether or not he was reprimanded I don't know.  I haven't heard that he was.

But now.  His line of questioning with a woman who claims she was assaulted by Bill Cosby went even further beyond the pale.  Whether or not her accusations were true who knows.  She claims she was stoned at the time she was forced to preform oral sex. That was bad enough

Lemon then went on to ask why she didn't bite him. Such a  line of questioning has nothing to do with "news".  It is purely salacious and no reporter has any reason to go there.

Does he think he can get away with such actions because he is black and gay? Doe he think it gives him entitlement thinking no one will touch him because of who he is?  I certainly hope not because neither applies.  No more than if Mr. Cosby gets a pass because because of his celebrity.  Bad behavior is just that.

With the news of the day as bad as it is, we don't need a smart aleck reporter adding to it.  If that is his bent let him join trash television.  There is enough of it out there.  We deserve better from CNN.
