Alec Baldwin is a high profile liberal, or atleast he has expressed his contempt for the Bush administration. So would this be a huge issue if he was conservative. Nobody knows what the child has done, maybe it was bad. Conservatives are,for the most part for arents right to punish their children as they see fit. Maybe the child did something really worthy or this response, maybe A.B. is a crappy dad. But foxnews would not make a big deal if A.B. was a neo-con, or a regular conservative.

Honestly, I really don't know about or care about the guy's politics, but I am the parent of an 11 year old daughter and I was absolutely shocked at the things he said to her. I could NEVER imagine saying anything like that to my daughter ... no matter what! The fact that he's a celeb is why FOX is so interested in it, but the way I see it, if I overheard one of my friends or neighbors talking like that to their children, I'd be just as shocked. And what makes it even worse is that he's trying to justify himself!

I first heard the story from the AP wire. The Associated Press isn't liberal but many of their reporters put too much liberal slant in their stories or trend them to a certain point of view if you read them closely. Pollsters word their questions often to get certain results on both the left and right.
Conservative radio had a field day calling Baldwin a control freak which he shows every sign of being. The situation with Baldwin is being reported everywhere.

Its all about money.NBC has a hit show and CBS just fired Don Imus (a has been) for being stupid. The majors are quaking in their boots over this one hoping nobody pays attention, which the public most likely will not.When any contract negotiation comes up, it will basically consist of sign here.

If Alec Baldwin were a conservative, all the other networks would be making a big issue about it. [sigh]

Who cares about Alec Baldwin. I do realize he is the only parent who has been upset with a unruly spoiled child. I know we will find out nobody in answers has ever yelled at their kid. And certainly never called their kid a stupid name.

These neo-CON hypocrites here really crack me up. He didn't beat the child, he dressed her down for disrespecting her father. His wacko ex is at the bottom of this. What's REALLY damaging the girl is listening to that drunken witch ranting about how bad her father is 24/7.
...and one more thing to you holier than thou, "parent of the year" types, you've ALL yelled nasty sh!t at your kids when the little knuckleheads really pizzed you off.
Don't even TRY to deny it...

What I don't understand is how celebrity gossip is leaking into nightly news programs. I mean, I've never had high standards for Fox news, but NBC?! What is the world coming to....

FOX and Bill O'Riely have bipolar disorder that gives them spin all the time.
