In reply to the discussion: FOX hired Kucinich because he is not a typical Democrat [View all]Captain Stern
(2,201 posts)33. I agree
Well said.
FOX didn't hire him to even halfway appear to be "fair and balanced".
They are paying him to be a "Democrat Party" monkey on display. "See this, loyal viewers...this is what we've been warning you about all these years" Now to present the Democratic counterpoint is Mr Kucinich...blah blah blah."
Either Mr Kucinich is so delusional that he actually thinks he's being hired so FOX viewers can hear his viewpoints, or he's such a sell-out that he's willing to show that he doesn't give a damn, and that he doesn't care who knows it.
