My Best Guess: All the unbiased, fair and balanced reporting you know and love from FOX News, translated into some of the best, most even-keeled interviews and talk programs on your radio dial.According to Sirius: From the Fair & Balanced news network comes opinion, news, analysis and listener call-ins, featuring pulse-of-the-nation hosts like Bill O'Reilly, Alan Colmes, Neil Cavuto, John Gibson and more.
Curt's Rebuttal: I think I get points just for consistently nailing the "fair and balanced" line with these guys. They make it too easy.
Sample Playlist
- Brian and the Judge: Got to listen to this talk program on the drive to work, which was a lovely way to start the day. The topic? Separation of church and state vs. removal of religion from the public domain. Definitely a fair topic to discuss, but when callers pretty much take an unspoken "as long as its Christian" stance, I get irked pretty quickly. Was interesting to hear an athiest call in and support Mormonism, but if I hear anyone else refer to themselves as "pro-family," I'm gonna do some damage. Like anyone is anti-family...get real. There was also a brief bit on how the latest intelligence report on Iran's lack of nuclear capabilities was (in one expert's opinion) politically fueled nonsense, but I had to turn off the radio before that got me downright angry.
- The Alan Colmes Show: Now, this was an interesting drive home. In the studio they had the owner of the "legalized brothel," the Moonlight Bunny Ranch...as well as a young lady who works there. On the phone they had a former prostitute who now ran a website and church called HookersForJesus.net. The sparks flew quite a bit.
Verdict: The second show made think that I might actually tune in for a Jerry Springer Channel on Sirius...but I refuse to give FOX News my ears for any reason other than this experiment.
