Reply #26: Just checked her bio, and she amazingly identifies herself as Democrat [View All]

What is she earning that enables her to rationalize this farce? Poor thing must hate herself.

"Van Susteren has long been known as a Clinton booster, first of Bill and now of Hillary, and she was that way when she worked for CNN. Her politics occasionally shine through on Fox News. On her On the Record show of November 17, 2004, Van Susteren interviewed Hillary about her husband. Mrs. Clinton said that "I think I know a great leader when I see one. And so does America. In 1992 and 1996, Americans chose a president who left our country in better shape than when he took office."

"Meanwhile, the Washington Post reported on September 1 that Van Susteren appeared at a news conference to announce that her sister Lise Van Susteren is running for the Senate as a Democrat in Maryland. The Post noted, "Although a first-time candidate, Van Susteren has surrounded herself with veteran aides, including Tad Devine, a strategist who worked on John Kerry's presidential bid, and Chris Black, a former Boston Globe reporter who handled press for Teresa Heinz Kerry. Both Devine and Black were present at today's event in Baltimore, as were Van Susteren's celebrity sister, her daughters and her husband, Jonathan Kempner, president and CEO of the Mortgage Banker's Association in Washington."

"Doesn't Fox have any rules against their celebrity anchors appearing at partisan political events? Apparently if they get high enough ratings, they can violate the rules of the "fair and balanced" journalism profession. But then, she may not be a journalist anyway."
