<p>HuffPo <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/24/alan-colmes-to-leave-hann_n_146069.html" target="_blank">is reporting</a> that Alan Colmes will be leaving Hannity &amp; Colmes at the end of the year. Colmes says he will remain with Fox News as a liberal commentator, and will soon unveil his own weekend program on the channel. In addition, Alan will continue hosting his radio program on Fox News Radio.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I approached Bill Shine (FNC&#8217;s Senior Vice President of Programming)<br />
earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop<br />
new and challenging ways to contribute to the growth of the network,&#8221;<br />
Colmes said. &#8220;Although it&#8217;s bittersweet to leave one of the longest<br />
marriages on cable news, I&#8217;m proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I<br />
remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so<br />
many years.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Sean Hannity had this to say about the split:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Not only has Alan been a remarkable co-host, he&#8217;s been a great friend<br />
which is rare in this industry &#8212; I&#8217;ll genuinely miss sparring with<br />
such a skillful debate partner.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Now the big question is who will replace Alan as the liberal half of Hannity &amp; Colmes? It will be interesting to see if they choose someone from within Fox like Lanny Davis or Howard Wolfson, or if they plan to bring in new talent.</p>
<p>Even though I rarely agree with Alan, I think his part of the show is very important. I&#8217;m a big Hannity fan, but Sean has to have someone on the show to counter him. A little Hannity can go a long way depending on the topic being discussed. I&#8217;d like to see someone who&#8217;s as equally fierce an advocate from the left as Sean is from the right.</p>
<p>What makes Fox News the best cable news channel on television is the fact that you really do get to hear both sides. Unlike liberals, I actually enjoy hearing views I disagree with. Debate is a healthy thing. Debate is something you will never see on MSNBC. Unless it&#8217;s a debate between Matthews and Olbermann over who loves Barack Obama more.</p>

He wrote it in response to the shrill protests coming from the liberal blogs about Clinton guru Howard Wolfson being hired by Fox News.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Often quoted is a four-year-old poll that claims that only 7 percent of Fox viewers supported John Kerry, while 88 percent were for Bush.  That’s the argument?  Other, more thorough studies show very different results.  <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0307/3108.html" target="_blank">Mediamark research shows</a> that <strong>only 38% of FOX viewers self-identify as conservatives.</strong> Pew Research has numbers that fall somewhere in-between <a href="http://people-press.org/report/348/internet-news-audience-highly-critical-of-news-organizations" target="_blank">citing a survey</a> that shows Republicans outnumber Democrats by two-to-one (43% to 21%) among the core FOX News Channel audience</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>But even if the 88%-7% figures were a true reflection of the FOX News viewership (and J$ explains why it isn’t), one would think that progressives would welcome the opportunity to change the paradigm and welcome any move by FOX to live up to its “Fair and Balanced” mantra.  I am often renounced by the same liberal blogophere of which I am a part (even on this, my own, site, as free speech reigns) simply for being a part of a news organization some progressives disdain.  So they’d rather just cede the ground, have no one on the left appear on the channel, and then continue to bash it. When I criticized Democrats for not participating in a FOX News debate, I was especially excoriated by Kos and others on the left, accused of being a mouthpiece for my FOX bosses&#8230;</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve found that most people who hate Fox News have never actually watched it. They simply hate FNC because their favorite liberal blog tells them to. Fox unquestionably had the fairest coverage during the primaries. They were the only channel that played it right down the middle. The other channels, MSNBC in particular was pretty much just an extension of the Obama campaign. They continue to be his unofficial media arm for all intents and purposes, and its disgusting.</p>
