Reception

The show has both been praised and criticized by the viewers and organization for the concept and production of the show.

Alan Colmes is touted by Fox as "a hard-hitting liberal", but he admitted to "USA Today" that "I'm quite moderate". [Citation |first=DeRosa |last=Robin|title=Tuning in to high-wattage talk show hosts |work=USA Today |publisher=Gannett Company, Inc. |id=Alan Colmes |pages= |page=LIFE; Pg. 7D |date=1995-02-01|accessdate=2007-11-13 |quote=I think I'm quite moderate ... I follow Limbaugh on about 100 stations and I precede other conservatives, so I may be the only person giving a different point of view. |archiveurl= |archivedate= ] He has sometimes taken more conservative positions, such as supporting Rudy Giuliani for mayor of New York City. He has been characterized by several newspapers as being Hannity's "sidekick". [http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1158 An Aggressive Conservative vs. a "Liberal to be Determined"] by Steve Rendall, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, November/December 2003] Liberal commentator Al Franken lambasted Colmes in his book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them", accusing him of refusing to ask tough questions during debates and neglecting to challenge erroneous claims made by Hannity or his guests. Some critics have also questioned whether or not both hosts receive equal time to interview guests.cite web | last = Rendall | first = Steve | title = An Aggressive Conservative vs. a "Liberal to be Determined" | url=http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1158 | publisher=Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting| accessdate = 2007-03-09 ] Some of Colmes' liberal critics have in recent months praised him, however, such as commentators at Media Matters for America. He has recently begun citing their reports in his confrontations with some of his conservative guests on the program.

A study by Media Matters for America, a liberal group that is frequently critical of the Fox News Channel, conducted through the first two months of 2006 found that the number of conservatives and Republicans brought on as guests outnumbered the number of liberals and Democrats by margins of 72%–28% in January, and 67%–33% in February. Of the solo interviews that are conducted on the show, 80% of the interviews are conducted with conservatives and Republicans.
