Now you've gone around the bend! A lot of people are boring, but that doesn't mean I dislike them! I just don't like them in my life on a non-stop basis.

People in the real world don't care whether a tortoise is misidentified as a mammal? People in the real world don't care about accuracy? I don't dislike Lauren either. She's a beautiful, talented woman who normally displays a high degree of intelligence. That is why I asked if someone else (someone REALLY stupid) was writing her lines for her.

Why are you so "invested" in Brian Kilmeade that you feel that you must defend him against justly deserved criticism? You must have not watched the football segment yesterday, or you would know what I meant. It was embarrassing, and it wasn't the first time I've seen Brian "outclassed" in an athletic challenge by another cast member -- even the women.

You accuse me of being LIBERAL because somehow my "tone" betrays me? That is just laughable and proves that you don't know what you are talking about.

I identified your tactic as one often used by liberals while refraining from accusing you of being a liberal. This has not escaped you.

The tactic is very frequently used by liberals and too often by conservatives. It’s a form of equivocation. Statement B represents the person’s foremost opinion while statement A states the opposite. That way, if statement B turns out to be wrong, the person has statement A to fall back on thus escaping accountability. It’s from fear of taking a stand. The ambivalence of liberalism.

For the sake of your understanding, I’ll let you know that I have no significant bias for any particular Fox News personality. I refute your criticisms of Fox News conservatives because the criticisms are not logical according to my standards.

For example, it appears that Lauren misspoke. This happens all the time, so it does not make sense that you would target her for something that happens so frequently. If you really cared about this kind of public speaking error, you would be posting complaints all day long on every website out there.
