Though we do not have any definitive answers as to why Lou Dobbs resigned from his position at CNN, I personally think he is sick of the B.S. reporting that has come out of there. His vague explanation for leaving gave me the impression that he was sick of having to worry about being offensive in his reports. When I say offensive, it means not catering to the Obama administration. Additionally, I think the reporting this week and the mainstream medias refusal to acknowledge facts and report honestly sent it over the edge. The news from CNN is watered down and I think Lou is sick of it...I really do. There has been several occasions in which Ive seen him call out people on his own network for misinformation or misrepresentation of facts, and rightfully so!
Hey, you never know...Lou Dobbs might just end up on Fox News or Fox Business? Its the top rated news network and they always draw in at least 2x more viewers than all the other networks. Recently, Fox hired John Stossel from ABC, who admitted to wanting to have more control and discretion over his reporting (basically ABC would frown upon his honest reports). They also hired Imus who used to be on MSNBC. If Roger Ailes and Lou Dobbs were in negotiation, it would not be surprising in the least!
You know...I don't agree with Dobbs on everything but his show was actually one of the more tolerable ones on CNN!
Mika Brzezinski deserves kudos for stating the truth about liberal bias in the mainstream media. While normally you shouldn’t get an extra applause for telling the truth as it is something that you should be expected to do any way, the extra praise is due to her openness while appearing on MSNBC, the most notoriously left-wing network.
Mika said that the problem the other networks (nbc, cbs, abc, cnn) was "the make up of the population within those networks perhaps maybe from predominantly one world view which is an issue".
"We're all liberals and democrats"
Glad that they are sticking up for Fox News while the President is trying to go after them.
Because I am a good person (well at least that's what my friends tell me) I feel like I need to warn you in advance. The video posted below is 9 minutes of pure bull from the WH administration bitching about Fox News' coverage of the President. As you know, the first amendment is no longer in play; no one is allowed to report facts. As you can imagine, CNN is on the WH ‘nice list’ unlike Fox News who is on the ‘naughty list’, who would of thought the President and Santa have something in common (bad joke...in case you didn’t get it, they have the lists in common…ha ha). After all, they are the network that fact checked the SNL spoof on Obama! Take note, how to get on the good side of this administration…display your willingness to promote the President and administration, even though you may be risking credibility and public embarrassment. Example… a major network fact checking a comedy routine. In their defense, maybe they didn’t know it was a parody? Anyway, do they think that crying about unfavorable coverage will cause the public to sympathize with them? Someone should advise them to halt any future whining sessions. I pity anyone who has to hear this lady daily, talk about irritating! I don’t mean to be unkind but I want my 9 minutes back. Question...were any of these people present or paying attention to the news in the past few years? Compare Bush's treatment to Obama’s and you will notice the incredible difference in coverage. Most of the media is in love with Obama while the coverage of Bush was hostile and disrespectful. The things that were said and done to him were an absolute embarrassment to the journalistic profession. It’s interesting that the same people who are crying foul now are those very same people who not only did not support Bush during the war, they were vicious and nasty. In some respects, I am happy that it happened because anytime these people want to whine to CNN or some other left-leaning news organization, I just think back to the treatment of the previous administration. Since the word ‘fair’ is thrown around by the left constantly, let’s be ‘fair’ and give Obama as much respect as was given to Bush. Though that would be fair, thankfully, we are not as disrespectful as the left. That being said, I don’t care if the President is a Republican or Democrat, I have every right to disagree with his policies and can choose not to support his plans! Furthermore, doing so does not make me racist so don’t pull that bullshit with me!
In the clip she admits to punishing Chris Wallace by skipping his show on the Presidents healthcare tour. On a totally different note, Britney Spears is trying to catch up to the President number of tours! Seriously, this guy is played out and it hasn’t even been a year yet. The grab for state-run media is in full swing. Get ready folks…it begins with this, first they punish any dissent, then net neutrality which is socialism for the internet (which by the way has also begun), and last but not least…talk radio with the unfairness doctrine. We elected someone from Chicago, the city with one of the worst records of political corruption and now we are experiencing the methods in which they use to defeat their opponents. They use their powers, influence, money, or whatever to take them out of the game. Got to love the Chicago way!
I was originally looking for the Saturday Night Live spoof on Obama to post. I was beginning to write about how SNL finally mocked the President after a long time of favorable coverage, even while they mocked other political figures, they pretty much steered clear of Obama. Having watched this CNN video below, I am in utter disbelief that a news program would fact-check a comedy routine! All this time that SNL has been doing political parodies from Bush to Reagan, both Clintons, Sarah Palin on numerous occasions, CNN has never done a fact check prior to this. Did they fact check the numerous Palin spoofs where her comments were clearly taken out of context? Considering the above facts, one can only assume that CNN must be racist! Isnt that what the other side would cry out if the tables were turned so it’s the only conclusion that I can come up with. I may be wrong because I don’t have the same access CNN has to worldwide information but I’m pretty sure that there are important things happening around the world that need some light shed on. If they were that hungry to fill their news slot then I’m sure they could have covered something news-worthy, say the protests and fraud still going on in Iran…maybe? So CNN was already losing credibility but I’m afraid it’s declining at a faster rate than once thought! Last I checked, CNN was trailing behind Fox News (as always) but surprisingly, CNN was even behind MSNBC!
Advice to CNN, get your act together, your bias is showing and it’s ugly!
Alternatively, I find it kind of funny because it’s absolutely pitiful!
Pay attention to the contrast in his mood at the very beginning before the results and after. His tone quickly changes.
Though it was amusing, I post this for no other reason than to demonstrate the personal and emotional investment the mainstream media and their so called ‘professional’ journalist have in this President. CNN’s Tony Harris was so excited in the beginning which turned to outrage and annoyance once the results were announced. Sounding a bit temperamental Harris repeatedly questioned the decision,
"Chicago is out?”…“Chicago is out?”…“Wait a minute. Chicago is out?”
Amazing! That’s all I have to say about Mark Levin’s FaH-Bu-Lous book, Liberty and Tyranny! I must forewarn you that I am not yet finished with the book; I have about 30 pages left. I say that with an enormous amount of sadness as I am not ready for the book to end quite yet. It must sound silly but it’s honestly how I feel. What the mainstream media wont report is the success in sales of his book. Since its release in March, the book has dominated the New York Times Bestsellers list. When’s the last time you heard any mention about this book on any of the networks? Don’t be fooled folks; they are fully aware of it which is why they choose to ignore it. Because the media can’t pick it apart and they certainly can’t disprove any of his facts, they have no choice than to essentially boycott it and hope that it goes away. In fact, Mark Levin has detailed and credited his sources for any naysayers! Unfortunately for them, we are not allowing them to dictate our beliefs nor will we allow them to choose our reading lists. Well folks, Ill post my full review once I finish reading the book in it's entirety but I’m pretty sure you already know how I feel about it at this point. Simply amazing!
I’ll keep you posted as I finish the book!
Have you read it yet? Actually, I’m in search of my next book right now, any suggestions?
The refusal by ABC and NBC to run a national ad critical of President Obama's health care reform plan is raising questions from the group behind the spot -- particularly in light of ABC's health care special aired in prime time last June and hosted at the White House...
..."The ABC Television Network has a long-standing policy that we do not sell time for advertising that presents a partisan position on a controversial public issue," spokeswoman Susan Sewell said in a written statement. "Just to be clear, this is a policy for the entire network, not just ABC News." NBC, meanwhile, said it has not turned down the ad and will reconsider it with some revisions. "We have not rejected the ad," spokeswoman Liz Fischer told FOXNews.com. "We have communicated with the media agency about some factual claims that require additional substantiation. As always, we are happy to reconsider the ad once these issues are addressed." Adams objects to ABC's assertion that his group's position is partisan. "It's a position that we would argue a vast majority of Americans stand behind," he said. "Obviously, it's a message that ABC and the Obama administration haven't received yet."
So basically Obama gets an hour long FREE time slot on ABC to discuss his healthcrap bill but a group PAYING for an ad in opposition on healthcare is way too partisan for ABC. Right. Maybe it would behoove ABC to force Obama's hour long infomercial to be reviewed for accuracy! Of course that would be too much to ask of a journalist and a news agency!
For future reference, 1. Let the person your interviewing answer the question once asked. 2. Whats more, do not tell the guest that they have 30secs to answer a question and then interrupt them a few seconds in. 3. Do NOT put words into their mouth. And lastly, 4. Do NOT be a JERK! 5. Interview yourself if you like to hear yourself speak.
This guy O'Donnell is really annoying...If I hear his voice again I might just begin scratching myself! Ugh!
Gotta love the "unbiased" journalism from Lauer. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that he was Obama's best friend hanging on oh so desperately to Malkin's every word as if she had been offending him and insulting him personally.
Make sure you pay attention to the end...(hint, stare at Lauer)
(Advice to Lauer. Stop being so emotional and not to mention OBVIOUS. I shouldnt be able to tell what your personal views are! Truth is, I could care less!)
