Why do people give a pass to the partisan media claiming it was a "guest" who made the comment?

Do you really think for one second the host and producers didn't know the viewpoints of the "guest" and the kinds statements they were going to make? Get real!

Update:

Threatened? LOL. You completely missed the point. These outlets and their fans hide behind their guests, using them as proxies to say what they would get nailed for saying themselves. Threatened. LMAO!!!

    So in your world, not only is the host scripted, but the guests' statements are also scripted?

    On a network run along the lines of journalistic ethics, neither is ever scripted. Journalism isn't a one act play.

    The Huffington Post, used to do that all the time

    they would publish an article from a guest writer

    that was obiviously over the top -- I mean just pure hate speech

    2. then they would act surprized when people started complaining about the article

    and delete it after 2 or 3 days

    saying, it wasn't us who wrote it

    3. then the next week, they would publish another article just as bad

    Probably because a guest said it.

    You seriously think they give scripts to the people they invite?

    On the left you play by the stations rules or you don't play

    Edit

    Most on the left believe that theirs is the only valid view point. All else is radical drivel from what they gleefully call the "Fascist Right"
