Boehlert: "I think conservatives are confusing being in the minority with being victims of liberal bias"

From the June 17 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier:

If he holds true to the deficit reduction I think good times are coming.
And I'm frankly tired of hearing about how all the Republican failures lately come down to them "not being conservtaive enough." Yuu know what ELSE isn't "conservatove enough," at least according to your measure? AMERICA.
Republicans have bad ideas, and "real" conservatives have worse ideas. The country is not moving to embrace a farther irght ideolgy. The Demoncrats might have moved to the right to capture more of the center (this happened about 20 to 30 years ago however) but the CENTER has moved to the LEFT. (This has also been going of for about the last 20 years as well.)
You're just being Republican / Conservative apologists now.
The controlling party has to govern from the middle if they want to retain power. That's the deal.
Obama agrees with me as far as deficit reduction. It has to start now. Your comment that deficit reduction will not lead to anything is perhaps true, but deficit explosion definitely leads to something, and it's economic disaster in the long run.
Republicans today are all about these type of attention getting issues today, a true conservative wouldn't want the government to have the authority to govern these type of social issues. Someone like Ron Paul is a real conservative, he has some pretty radical ideas and I certainly don't agree with most of them but he can bring up some good points. If Republicans today were true conservatives they would be much more respectable.
Bosell actually has the gall to complain about ABC giving time to Obama after Fox News gained full access to softball exculsive interviews to GW Bush & Cheney for 8 years.
Even now, Fox News serves as THE media outlet for Bush apologists.
Conservatives are pathetic sore losers.

BTW.. how often did Faux refer to "Mr. Bush" when Winky was in office?
Not to mention that every article they write includes the voice of a conservative. Of course... that voice always happens to be LYING, but that's hardly MMFA's fault!
I read an article on newsbusters the other day about Norah O’Donnell on MSNBC making a comment and laughing with Pat Buchanan (and another guest), and NB actually criticized her for what she said when she was clearly joking. I mean, come on. What an embarrassment.
MRC even runs some kind of glorified award show convention that invites all the brain dead conservative media figures just to tear more into the "liberal media"... the likes of Mark Levin and other morons just give stupid speeches and give awards for, I'm assuming, bias and misinformation. I was surprised to see it even aired on C-Span. Unlike MRC, MMfA doesn’t need to do such things to get attention from its fans. They run a legitimate site with great researchers, and the conservative bias, which some people are afraid to document, is further exposed.
Obama also entered office with a stronger popular mandate than either of his two predecessors. He is the first President since George H.W. Bush in 1988 to be elected to his first term with more than 50% of the popular vote. He also succeeded a president leaving office with historically low favorability ratings.
"FOX News' Bret Baier was granted unprecedented access by George W. Bush as the president begins the final year of his extraordinarily consequential tenure."

They actually claimed to have "no holds barred" questions, but this is what we got!!!

"There are some conservatives out there that say you are too much compassionate?"
"Was your faith ever shaken over your 7 years?"
"How badly do you want to get Osama Bin Laden before your end of office?"
"If there is not another attack before you leave, will that be a major success for this administration?"
"You've been a wartime president longer than Lincoln was, how do you think you have done?"
"As you look back over this time, is there one thing that you are most proud of?"
And the commentary between the interviews are even more lame:
"From the beginning, President Bush has been frequently ridiculed for his speaking style, now 7 years later he is credited with some of the most eloquent and visionary speeches ever delivered by an American President."
Please... Fox calling out ABC or NBC is just plain stupid.
