Andrew, I refer you to Colbert
Mr. Sullivan writes:
"I just sat through an entire segment on the O'Reilly Factor dedicated to discussing the president's position on the proposed federal marriage amendment. Should the president take it on more aggressively? Or not? Fair debate. The only guests are both paid-up members of the movement to pass the amendment, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, and Maggie Gallagher. Even if the debate were entirely an intra-Republican affair, wouldn't it have been appropriate to have a Republican like LCR head, Patrick Guerrerio, to debate this; or Jim Kolbe? Or Mary Cheney? Or someone who might actually put the opposing point of view? Or are my expectations for Fox insane? "
Stephen Colbert at the WHCA Dinner: "Fox News gives you both sides of every story: the president's side, and the vice president's side."
