Why she might be annoying:

    She was the token liberal at Fox News.
    She was accused of demonizing Trump voters in a blanket statement during a CNN appearance: 'They'll say, well, I'm not racist, I just voted for him because I didn't like Hillary Clinton. And I just want to say that doesn't make you not racist. It actually makes you racist.'
    She complained about being criticized after she fell for the Covington Kids hoax on social media.
    She criticized CNN's decision to not dox a controversial Reddit user, Tweeting that 'people do not have a 'right' to stay anonymous so they can spew their racist, misogynist, homophobic garbage.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her parents were archeologists.
    She began her career as a staff assistant with the Clinton-Gore presidential transition team in 1992.
    She was a Deputy Assistant for Public Affairs in the Clinton administration from 1993 to 1998.
    She was a regular sparring buddy of Megyn Kelly (who once threatened to cut her mic during a heated argument).
    She has been open about her Pro-Life beliefs and was critical of Kermit Gosnell after the conditions of his clinic were exposed.
    Mediaite called her 'Fox's liberal to be reckoned with.'
    She later said that, although she did not experience sexual harassment, her complaints about Bill O'Reilly were ignored by Fox News staff.
