Weather Forecast in Hell

So, I can only imagine that given this strange new cozy relationship between Democrats and Faux News that we either have snow in the netherworld or we are seeing YET AGAIN the domination of the centrist right-leaning Democrats taking over the party.

This is why so many (although not all, of course) establishment Democrats are hostile to Obama.  Many of his supporters are not part of the functionaries and bureaucrats who are willing to work with the noxious Roger Ailes Republican party spokeschannel.  But even Obama (somewhat contrary to the movement springing from his candidacy) has embraced this example of the right-wing media machine in order to try and secure the Democratic nomation.

Standing in front of a television camera last week, the chairman of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign, Terry McAuliffe, uttered four words that the Fox News Channel would not soon forget.

“Fair and balanced Fox!,” he exclaimed, noting that the network was the first to project Mrs. Clinton’s Pennsylvania primary win.

Fox executives could not have asked for a more rousing endorsement. The next day it showed up in promotions.

All of a sudden, the once-frosty relationship between Fox News and the Democratic candidates seems to have grown warmer. Mrs. Clinton and Barack Obama, who steadfastly refused to attend Fox-sponsored debates last year, are now giving plenty of interviews as they court Fox’s viewers, who are largely white, conservative and undecided.

Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Republican self promoting Clown Bill O’Reilly on the network. Senator Clinton has been on the network at least ten times this year, so far.  And to make matters worse she has gone out of her way to not confront the right-wing bias of Fox.

Here we have Barack Obama and Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday recently. He has been on Fox News seven times this year so far.  And he has also avoided commenting on the right-wing bias.

Is this an effort gone too far?  Shouldn't the Democrats avoid a channel that goes so far to attack Democrats and Democratic policies on a daily basis?

Should we be checking the weather forecast in hell?  Or is the classic problem that The Who so accurately noted: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
