"On Wednesday, Fishbowl DC reported that Michael Clemente, a senior vice president at Fox, had met with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and that the two had "reached what some are calling a 'truce.'" FishbowlDC also reported that Clemente subsequently met with the network's Washington bureau and "encouraged staff to remain 'fair and balanced.'""

I guess they really did come to an arrangement. I've certainly never seen a Fox reporter going after a political ally like that before. With the exception of Maddow and Olberman I've never seen any american cable news show act so critical of a political figure before.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

This is all about power. Lieberman know's he's in a perfect position to score power from either the Dems or Repubs on this one. I'm sure both sides are courting him with promises of untold concessions. The guy turns my stomach.

Good call, Dag, but Lieberman is persona non grata to progressives in this land.

He also happens to be the "go to" guy for every "entitlement"--which is the defense industry.

"Joementum" = total sell out.

You know what I'd LOVE to see? A few thousand people on Capitol Hill to keep this douche and his corporate money junkies (and YES that includes every democrat that isn't 100% behind universal healthcare) out of OUR congress until this health care bullshit gets settled.

Joe has a great idea! - create a gov't run oil company to compete with private companies. I'd vote for that too. How many billions in profit does Exxon Mobil make every quarter??

Check out the story of congressman Dennis Kucinich when he was the Mayor of Cleveland- he saved Muny Light, a publicly held power company. Lots of controversy, but in the end it saved all the people a lot of money.

It's obvious everyone here just hates The Liebster because he's Jewish. It has nothing to do with his actions or policies or the results of same. He's Jewish and you all hate Jews!*



*Replace 'Liebster' with 'Obama' and 'Jewish' with 'Black'.
