Apparently Barry Manilow decided to take a stand. He will NOT perform on the same stage as Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Apparently he’s afraid he will suffer the same fate as Rosie.

A lot of people feel media in general is horribly biased towards Democrats and liberal politics. Other people think it’s a conspiracy theory.
