Dear Mr. Hannity,
I am a long-time fan of both your radio and TV shows. I am writing this to you instead of to your management at Fox News because I thought what I have to say might strike a sympathetic chord with you.
There was a recent story in the news about the endorsement of John Kerry by many corporate CEOs, among them (apparently) Peter Chernin of News Corp., the parent company of Fox News. While it is fine for an individual to support any candidate according to his or her conscience, I believe it is inappropriate for the CEO of any company to endorse a particular candidate as CEO. This is especially the case for a news organization, where this behavior leads to an appearance of bias.
There is very little that I can personally do about this, except for one thing: I will not be watching Fox News again until the day after the election. This is unfortunate, because in the past I have relied upon Fox News to report fairly both sides of the issues of the day. I particularly enjoyed watching your program, Hannity and Colmes. I hope I will enjoy it again after the election.
Sincerely,
G*** B***

Exactly...it is about influence for their bottom lines. They have no loyalty to anyone. Wake up folks.
Murdock endorsed Gore in 2000. Just more proof that FOX NEWS is part of the Vst Right-Wing Conspiracy!
"However: I consider democrats. liberals, greens, socialists, and other associated vermin to pose such a danger to our country and our way of life that I have absolutely no patience any longer for anyone or anything that supports them."
Out of curiosity how old are you?
I started down the trail to where you are when I became 50. When the Clintoons won, I joined your position. I was 54.
Then I moved even more to the right in the 2000 election I was 62 the day of the election.
Now at age 65 and I will be 66 the Friday after the election, I have even less tolerance for the liberals and pseudo conservatives. 9/11 helped to really firm that up.
You wake up. We are not as dumb as you would for us to believe.
Many of these elite rat CEOs have been major Rat donors for decades and seldom if ever donate to the Republicans.
Many are like Buffet, SoreA$$ and Lewis, the owner of Progressive Insurance are as out spoken against GW as Whoopi was. The bozos who own Costco are radical rats, who hate GW and any republican. The CEO of Apple is so in bed with the rats, he sat with the Hildebea$T in one Clintoons state of the union speeches. Martha Stewart was one of these elites.
Nice try to cover for these elite Rat slime bags. It will not fly with most of us.
This explains to me the over fairness that I have seen in Fox the last 3 years.
I cancelled cable to get Fox on Dish. Now, I seldom watch FOX as it is not much better than ABCNNBC BS.
My news mainly comes from Free Republic.
Who is covering? Just stating the obvious to those who are shocked. Why is anyone shocked?
Here's his blog:

I don't remember when exactly I read he didn't like Bush, but I definitely remember reading it somewhere there.
I hope you are right, because I was REALLY disappointed when I found the blog and read it!
I hope FOX News ratings drop to that of CNN. I will be tuning out especially after the way they went easy on the RAT convention. I think I can make it through my days without ever watching any of the main news stations in anyway. They all suck.
Just goes to show how stupid the democrat base is. They go on and on about Big Business and Evil Corporations not realizing that it's those very people who are financing the candidates the dummies are voting for. Talk about a lot of gullible idiots.
I started down this path in 1958 when I read 1984, Brave New World, and Atlas Shrugged in one summer. I was 13 and and during the course of that summer developed the underpinnings of what became my conservative political philosophy.
In the summer of '59 my family's business sponsored an Hungarian couple who'd made it our during the '56 revolution. I heard first hand the absolute corruption and evil of Communism from those who'd experienced it.
Those two summers saw me become a hard-core conservative. Considering the events of the 60's, that was a pretty lonely spot for a teenager to be in.
this explains what is happening to Fox News - many of us have been saying it for some time now, they built their status on teh backs of a conservative audience, now they are abandoning it and moving left.
Already, I rarely watch FNC anymore.
someone should call in and question Hannity on his radio show about this.
I expect FNC will not renew contracts with Brit Hume or Hannity, as they cotinue to morph into CNN-lite.
Bernard is correct. The "Roger Ailes" blog is not written by Roger Ailes. It is run by a lefty who just wanted to tweak FNC.
This is a C.Y.A. because a "Fox is Biased" movie is hitting theatres.
This takes air out of this attack.

Always remember that God is in control, win or lose there is nothing happening that he isn't aware of....America will prevail with Bush or without. Kerry is a do nothing in the Senate, and if he wins he will be a do nothing President.
We must vote for Bush, but MORE IMPORTANT is WE MUST SEE TO IT That CONGRESS is REPUBLICAN...that is where legislation is passed. A demo president with a republican congress is hogtied...nothing much will happen.
"Those two summers saw me become a hard-core conservative. Considering the events of the 60's, that was a pretty lonely spot for a teenager to be in."
It sure was.
It was tough for a 20 something.
