    That is precisely what they are.

    In fact, I think you're more likely to get a liberal correspondent on Fox met without hostility than a conservative correspondent on MSNBC without hostility.

    MSNBC routinely has Republicans and conservatives on air and treats them respectfully. I’m sure there are times when they don’t get treated well, though it’s likely a rare occurrence. In fact, their longest show, by duration every day is Morning Joe, hosted by former Republican US Representative, Joe Scarborough.

    I don’t watch them and they’ve lost a third of their viewers so I wish them luck with their nightly celebration of ignorance.

    When Democrats and liberals want to come on Fox, they are treated respectfully.

    Scarborough is not conservative.

    That would be like taking Joe Manchin as your token "liberal correspondent" on Fox.

    I said Republican, not conservative. That said, I don’t recall him espousing liberal ideology. I think he identifies as Independent as of late, though.

    He's on MSNBC, and spends all of his time bashing Trump and DeSantis.

    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck.

    I really don't understand the pearl clutching here.

    Is calling someone a "wannabe dictator" out of bounds now?

    I'll take that deal. :D Ya'll stop using that and the MSM stops characterizing every Republican political threat that way, and we'll stop. Deal?

    And Joe Biden isn't? And Democrats aren't?

    Who you spend all of your time discussing and bashing typically says a lot about your political allegiances. And that goes both ways.

    He’s a small government conservative. Understand that true conservatism is dead and replaced by Autocratic Fascism.

    It would be a much bigger threat to our democracy for the government to be able to remove networks that criticize it from the airwaves. What you're proposing violates the First Amendment. The answer is no.

    The "heat" is defamation lawsuits (which they have faced and are facing) when they've violated the law and people choosing to boycott your network. It is not the government suppressing speech, no matter how dishonest you think their opinions are.

    It's jarring to see it in writing but it's no different than what's being said on the air anyway

    You got me, not as much Fox as ya'll clearly watch.:D

    I've seen enough MSNBC to know they treat DeSantis and Trump as authoritarian racists who are a threat to Democracy, so you guys can spare me the pearl-clutching here.

    Projecting where many in the Republican party are heading. The first impeachment of Trump for withholding military funds from Ukraine unless Zelensky made a made up public statement against Trump's chief political rival, where he could justify launching an investigation.
