Joe Scarborough: Every Single Person Hosting the Network News or Sunday Shows, or Running Those Shows, Has Been a Liberal Democrat for the Last 50 Years

Pretty good rant.

In response to his question, "Name the one Republican who's hosted a network news show or a Sunday show for the last fifty years," one panelist offers "Tony Snow," who hosted... FoxNews, which is a Republican outfit because they let Republicans host their shows.

So what does that make the networks?

What follows isn't in the video, unfortunately, just in Newsbusters' transcript. Here, Scarborough offers the sort of tough questions a Republican would like to ask a Democrat -- but would never, ever be permitted to.

SCARBOROUGH: Do you know that at six months, a little baby inside a mother's womb has--and then I'd go into details about that. Do you really think you should stop a beating heart Mike Barnicle and murder the baby and then harvest its organs? Do you really think that's a good thing?

And the next question is, I'd do a set-up about how somebody was slaughtered and they didn't have a gun because they had a five-day waiting period.

Those are tough questions -- the abortion rape question is a tough question, but so are these, and yet, strangely enough, these never occur to George Stephanopolous, Diane Sawyer, or Anderson Cooper.

A longer video of the exchange is at the Free Beacon.

Incidentally, even at CNBC, staffers are questioning the choice of Harwood et al. to host the Republican debate.

In the wake of the debate debacle that’s delivered a gut punch to CNBC, many staffers at the business network are divided over whether "extremely biased" and "far left" correspondent and moderator John Harwood should have been allowed on stage.

"Everyone in the newsroom knows he’s extremely far left," a network insider told TheWrap about the prevailing opinion that pervaded the newsroom even before the debate.

Harwood is "not just extremely biased and partisan, but he's the worst kind who isn't self-aware that he is," the insider continued. "Blindness to that is what allowed him on the debate stage."

Definitely watch the rant below -- it's pretty good. He reveals that someone at his own network, NBC, told him he could never do a Sunday show for CBS, because, being a Republican, he was "too political."
