When in doubt, blame a lesbian

The weasel Tucker Carlson's show on MSNBC has not been getting the ratings they'd hoped. In fact, the ratings have been sagging like...well, I don't actually have a full metaphor worked out here, but it's something like Jessica Biel something something.

Anyway, according to Accuracy in Media editor Cliff Kincaid, the reason for this isn't the aforementioned big weasel-ness of Carlson, or even that the country is finally starting to get sick of the conservative POV.

No, it's because of that mean old Media Matters having encouraged the show to be a little more "fair and balanced," and because--pause for gasps of horror--the show regularly features-- ---a short-haired lesbian as a guest.

I, for one, am appalled.
