I really don't know why the question set him off on a tirade during his interview with Chris Wallace from Fox News on Sunday. I thought the question was a legitimate one from Wallace. Even if you think it is a setup, just answer the question on the merits and move on. As usual, the left is going ga-ga over the interview and Clinton's passionate response, while the right is spewing vitriol.
And while we are on Fox News, I really don't understand why people question the news worthiness of the network. I believe that mainstream media is dominated by liberals and progressives. So I think there is a void in the political and intellectual discourse in this country that Fox identified and has exploited expertly. There is no question that Fox leans right, but I'd argue that the rest of the mainstream media leans left. Fox is an effective counterbalance and indeed one that was long overdue. We shouldn't be afraid of diverse opinion that covers the entire political spectrum. My point is that there is room for everybody. Once we realize that, we'd stop taking potshots at Fox.
