Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

Jul 20, 2015

There's a very funny video from "Fox News" which has their panel of four women hosts talking with Dog the Bounty Hunter about the Republicans running for the presidential nomination, and at one point they ask him for his pick for the White House.



Given the topic, and that Dog the Bounty Hunter is a vocal, lifelong Republican, the question seemed a safe one to the ladies on Fox.  So, it was to their shock -- no, "utter horror and sadness" is a better term -- when he not only doesn't say a Republican, but...of all people, Hillary Clinton!



The reaction from the women is priceless.


For all the attention this has gotten for being so funny in regards to how distraught they are by his choice, I think that two other things stand out for me much more.



The first is that if anything gives lie to the long-standing "Fox News" claim that they're "fair-and-balanced" and how they just report, and you decide, and that they're not biased and a wing of the Republican Party, this video is it.  After all, here are four Fox "analysts" or hosts or whatever they are...moaning and weeping and crying out "NOOO!!" when a guests calmly mentions that he's supporting a Democrat.  Imagine the field day Fox would be having if four news analysts on MSNBC -- or any network -- were so outwardly, vocally and emotionally distraught that a guest said he was for a Republican.  (And by the way, they're be right to critical about that.)



And the second thing is -- what in the world are they doing asking Dog the Bounty Hunter for his political endorsement?!
