  1. I like this, and it is very refreshing. So often what passes for news is presented by “talking heads,” but this shows very clearly that what we are missing are the Thoughtful talking heads. Thoughtfulness is a big part of ” Truthiness.” :)

  3. This reminded me of the Reagan or Bush years.Where dems threw peanut shells- hoping to bring down the bull elephant.Water off a ducks back.Didn’t land a glove.Bla bla bla are three other things that come to mind.What is funny Jeanien is that you took an out take from Bill trying to prove that he believes his show is unbiased.He has never said that.He is strongly on the conservative side of the coin .Unabashedly conservative.
    You forgot to lampoon how FAIR often says IT is unbiased.It is completely unabashedly liberal and progressive with a dash of socialist from all I have seen.Yet somehow…strangely……you did not see that connection.I wonder…….. (:

  5. Three cheers for Andrea Seabrook, former NPR reporter who quit rather than just go on reporting obvious lies as if fair and factual news. I hope FAIR and other lovers of fair and responsible journalism do something to honor this brave woman.

    And as for Bill O’Reilly’s typical rant, complaining the Dems are as far left as they can go, I disagree. The more he and the Fox types decry liberalism and socialism the more open to them I become. It’s time the populist left take back the media, congress, courts, states, and school boards from the rabid moralists and the shills for the international capitalists. They complain they’re the victims of a culture war, when they’ve been waging and winning that war for 40 years.

    Yeah good luck with that.America is just primed to move hard left after seeing the great job Obama did these last four years.But hey give it your best shot.See you at the polls come November

  7. Bill O’Reilly is obviously “strongly conservative” – the humorous part about Billo is that he THINKS he is just using “common sense”, and his “No Spin Zone” – which is obviously highly conservative – tries to convince viewers that “common sense” and “strongly conservative” are the same thing:

    We cover politics a little bit differently here. We’re not much on party propaganda or political bloviating.

    Ergo, when Billo starts to bloviate on politics, or pass on the GOP party propaganda, the low-IQ viewers – 92% of Fox News viewership – can be assured that nobody is trying to pull something over on them. It’s all just “common sense” they’re hearing.

    Well played, Mr. Luffa.

  8. Michael e, you’re right that the country has been led to resent so-celled socialist policies of president Obama, but I don’t see it. We didn’t get single payer for our health insurance needs; instead we’ll be shunting money into the bank accounts of the health insurance companies, doctors, hospital corporations, lawyers for doctors, etc. Many so-called socialist programs ostensibly help the poor but actually shore-up the economies that serve them. A lot of food stamps end up supporting the soda pop companies.

    I’m worried that you’re right that Americans might elect Romney in reaction to what they see as too socialist Obama policies – even though Obama has been friendly to banks, some energy interests, etc., to my dismay. I’m worried too that the four years of unrelenting ridicule and disfunctional obstructionism by the Reps won’t be noted by Americans and they might fall for the old line that less taxes means more jobs. If that were true, why didn’t it happen during the eight years of the Bush Temporary Tax Cuts? Instead of investment creating jobs we have trillions of dollars stuck in banks, many of them offshore, or worse, used to send jobs offshore. But things change and Americans are often smarter than the media plays them for. I’m hoping we’ll see a shift towards progressive trends and that some civil-minded Republicans will return to the kind of bi-partisan creative cooperation that incorporates decent Republican values – instead of sneaking in the indecent ones via lying, making voting difficult for poorer people, forgetting Bush while favoring his people and ways, and smirking about worldwide weather upheaval.

  9. Brad i dont think Bush did a good job on many levels.I think Obama is wrong headed all the way down the line including his socialist ideals and adgenda.To say he is not that- because of his lack of accomplishments in that direction(due to republican opposition and his own party lagging behind him)is cutting him a break he does not deserve.Unfettered he would truly of “re-made” this country.Beyond that he is simply ill suited, and unqualified for the job he holds.Romney think will be far better.And Ryan far better than Biden.A huge step up.I think the American people bought his shtick 4 years ago.It has worn thin.Unless you have another candidate in the wings(Hilary?)you must understand and be understanding that the people will vote against him.He deserves it for a job not well done.Just as Bush did.Dems the breaks.
