I'm going to be on Fox News tomorrow at 12:50 PM eastern time. Hopefully this time the segment won't get cut so short as it was a couple of weeks ago.

Don't say "pimping."
No, DO say it.
Get yourself fired.
Then you can sue for "wrongful dismissal" and get the big bucks you'll never make as a wannabe blogging pundit.
I care, Matt...in spite of what that mean Mr. Hack says.
Still think things look good for Hillary? (Half real question, half rhetorical)
And don't pimp the Joe Klein crap.
Put a link to the clip up if you can.
DVR set. There's no way I'll watch Fox News live. I'll fast forward through the parts where a blow-hard not named Matt is talking.
Pimping yourself out to the Fox Noise johns again, Matt?
I don't understand why any self-respecting liberal willingly goes on Fox Noise. Don't they realize they're propping up a propaganda organ of the GOP?
Honestly, brother, Fox News??? You are a sad 'liberal'... I guess you qualify as a 'Joe Lieberman Democrat'.. I enjoy the Atlantic but you have AWFUL judgment.. Its about time you got called out on that.. Ya know, considering that you supported this occupation of Iraq and all.. oh wait, now I see it, Fox news is perfect for you... maybe they'll give you a blog spot as well. can't wait to see your endorsement of McCain. Booo to you my friend YOU ARE NOT A DEMOCRAT!!!
Say hi to Larry Kudlow.
Dammit, Matt, stop legitimizing the Republican propaganda organ. I'm never going to watch you on Fox, and if you keep advertising your Fox appearances I'm going to stop taking you seriously.
Why go on Fox? What is the purpose and to what end? Why would you want to lend any credence to them? I do not get it.
You guys need to get a grip. Fox News is the highest-rated cable news network. It's no more biased than CNN or MSNBC are, and it has more viewers than both combined. The attempted lefty boycott has long since been abandoned. Even Hillary goes on Fox these days.
Kucinich was on Fox News as well. However, I recognize that most of these criticisms are tongue in cheek.
"It's no more biased than CNN or MSNBC are . . . "
LOL! Of course it is.
While they all three have a conservative bias, Faux Noise is the most biased, by an order of magnitude.
Fox News thinks Democrats are traitors in the war on terror.
MSNBC thinks Democrats are gender confused freaks, where Democratic men are not really men and Democratic women are not really women.
CNN thinks the Democrats are undemocratic hacks because we have superdelegates, making "your vote irrelevant."
RIght now, MSNBC and CNN are working just as hard to undermine the chances of preventing a third Bush term as Fox news.
So, is FOX legitimizing Matt, or is Matt legitimizing FOX. Snark only partly on....
I'd be worried if they keep asking you back, it means they see you as an ineffectual liberal spokesperson. If they offer full time gig, you may need to evaluate, or at least lose the beard.
our little matty's becoming a star! Next he'll be rubbing elbows with the glitterati down in Cocoa Beach
Hopefully they'll ask you more than one question this time.
I guess this is a case where you're putting your career over your principles. It's a little rude for all of us to point it out. I'm sure that you agree that you going on Fox legitimizes them while at the same time furthering your career.
It's no different than an idealistic person who goes to law school wanting to "help people," but then decides to be a corporate lawyer to pay off those law school debts. Sometimes people have to choose career over principle. We need to be nicer to Matt, since most of us have made a similar choice at some point. (For those you you who haven't ever sold out, my congratulations to you.)
Sorry to hear about the Republican propaganda thing. You are a good guy otherwise.
I tuned in at 12:55, since these things always start late.
Did I miss it?
Gak!
goddamnit, i turned in at 12:53. I was distracted by Lethal Weapon 2. I missed it though. That's nonsense. You were only on for three minutes?!?!?!?! Fuck fox
The other, right-wing Matt in that segment was smiling so goofily I was beginning to think that he had copped a buzz off of something.

It went something like this:
Bill O'Reilly: Diplomatic immunity!
Matthew Yglesias: [Shoots him] Has just been revoked!
Short and sweet.

Nobody cares, Matt.
