greta van susteren certainly has no action to grind against president obama. you have me, who you know, it's interesting the perceptions. some democrats feel that i'm obama hater. some republicans feel that i'm too soft on obama. both of those signals tell me i'm doing my job. i certain live don't have any personal animus or ideological animus against the man. sean hannity is a republican. it is obvious that he does not like president obama. and thinks his policies are bad. but, in totality, with shepard smith coming at 7:00. with bret baire coming at 6:00, you have a presentation that's not overtly hostile to president obama. what we -- what the contention is is that we glorify the protesters. but that's bull. we just don't demean them like all the other networks do. so i'm trying to get in my mind why the obama people don't see this as a negative toward them. a fight with fox hurts them. helps our ratings, hurts their ratings. but they continue, i think, to make an issue of it. >> well, i mean, the one time during the presidency was the one interview did wit

repeatedly steered it was the equivalent to the liberal left fox news host geraldo rivera, greta van susteren, who is that on msnbc. what's unique about fox news and i think in general makes for more interesting viewing is it's a debate station that you have a liberal and a conservative not just a bunch of liberals are doing or eight liberals and one conservative. >> host: which is why cox news is rated number one fess mack i don't think this is just because of my legal background, that's the easiest way to get at the jews, because you hear things on other stations fannie you wonder why it a second, what would a republican say to that. is well, you get the full story from the left and right on fox news and i feel like i'm doing a commercial for fox news. i have no vested interest. >> host: in such a change racially i was in greece and the only news that we had with cnn international and there was no fox or talk radio, it was a long wait and the husband and i decided it all i looked at with cnn international i would hate america to because almost every piece about america is negative. >> guest
