Wallace Asks Dean Why Democrats Are Suddenly Coming on Fox
NewsBusters ^ | May 4, 2008 | Noel Sheppard

Have you considered the delicious hypocrisy of Democrat presidential candidates that months ago refused to participate in debates sponsored by Fox News now practically lining up to appear on the cable news channel?

Chris Wallace certainly has, and on the most recent installment of "Fox News Sunday," asked Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean about this sudden change of heart by folks who just months ago were depicting the station as too biased to bother with.

What follows is a partial transcript of this segment (video embedded right):

So many possibilities for that headline...

Chris Wallace missed a golden opportunity to ask the “Screamer” how does he explain being the worst DNC head ever, and presiding over the disenfranchisemtn of the Florida and Michigan voters. Wallace was way too polite to this egomaniacal smug arrogant nutcase.

Very humerous responses to Wallace. Thanks Chris for sticking to the subject until Dean answered, sort of.

I suppose we are to assume that the DemocRAT party STILL hates FOX, especially their "news" department -- just not the millions of viewers (who by the way, tune in for a "fair and balanced" (at least "more" fair and balanced than the other BS networks.)

So what? Fox stopped being “Fair and Balanced” right around the same time conservatives had to be qualified as “compassionate”.

As part of his response to Chris Wallace, Dean went on a tirade against McCain that wore out Wallace’s welcome. Wallace interrupted him, saying, “We’ll give you plenty of time to bash Senator McCain, but I want an answer to the question.”

Chris has a set of balls to ask the right questions and control the interview. The reason I watch FOX is they do give both sides of the issue most of the time unlike the other news channels. There are many here at FR who do not like to hear the other side of the debate but I do. You always need to know what the enemy is doing.

The “fair and balanced” network has two hours of business stuff on Sat 10a-12p. Only on the Neil Cavuto show do they ALWAYS have a democrat spokesman on. Now it’s an a**hole man, one before was a blonde bimbo who talked so fast there’s no way her mind was in gear.
