| Former Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is joining Fox News Channel as a regular contributor, the channel announced Wednesday. Kucinich, the liberal firebrand and former two-time presidential candidate, will make his first appearance on the channel on Thursday night during "The O´Reilly Factor," according to The Associated Press. "Through 16 years in Congress and two presidential campaigns, Fox News has always provided me with an opportunity to share my perspective with its enormous viewership," Kucinich said in a statement. "I look forward to a continuation of our relationship this time as a Fox News contributor."

Un.be.lievable! Roger Ailes praised the lunatic Kucinich?? Nothing like destroying the network. They´re heading in that direction. Mr. Ailes must be suffering from mental affliction.

fox only has that slogan to make people think they are fair and balanced... I haven´t watched it in years the way they spin news makes me want to vomit sometimes. If this is what Fox thinks balanced news should be, well they have pulled a fast one and gotten away with it. Fox only has "conservitative" commentators on their programming to pull in the sheeple

Fox used to be on almost 24/7 in my house. I saw the whole 9/11 drama live, because I was watching Fox before 6 in the morning, Cali-time.
Now...not so much. I have a suspicion that their ratings are holding because we high-info viewers who are tuning out are being replaced by...well, you know who. The great unwashed dumbasses who gave us 8 years of Obama.

Fox News Sunday has devolved into just a bit better than the others. So, quit that. I used to like Greta but her show isn´t fresh at all anymore. The Five´s comedy routines and puffing/advertising each other´s projects and books is now unwatchable. So, now it´s FBN. Varney, Neil and yes, #4, Lou Dobbs all get into subjects more deeply. I too think FNCs ratings are increasingly more liberals. I just know too many conservatives who never watch FNC anymore.

I too watch much less of FOX than I used to. Maybe an hour in the morning of Fox & Friends. I am disgusted with the "Fair and Balanced" thing. IMO, there is Truth and Lies. Why give the lies equal time?
Here in NE OH, we celebrated when Dennis Kookcinich lost in the primary. We thought we had seen the last of him. I guess I still won´t be seeing him, because I won´t watch. FOX would improve its rating greatly if they went hard, hard RIGHT!

Haven´t watched Fox News since we got rid of Directv. Seems as the other stations move Left, Fox follows. That makes since though since the GOP is moving Left, right with them. I hear more and more Conservatives are not watching Fox so I guess that means more and more on the Left are.

I can imagine the jokes from Greg Gutfeld. At least Dana can now just share in the ribbing.
I´ve never been a big fan of the "fair and balanced" thing at FNC. My blood pressure is already high enough.
I´ve finally dumped Dish in favor of Roku. Available FNC clips, a few full shows, and FoxNews.com/live are enough for my viewing needs. (Actually, I prefer some of the shows on FNcom-live to some on the cable broadcasts - less "ïnterference" by time-constrained producers and more in-depth.) With similar streaming devices becoming available, it´s time for some serious conservative competition via that medium. GBTV is only a start. Time for PJTV, FreedomWorks, TPN, and others to provide quality apps to stream on these devices. Perhaps a new streaming "network" in the spirit of Hulu to bundle these at a reasonable price.

Actually a great move. Nothing is going to show the true looney tune character of progressive/socialists than folks seeing one in the flesh such as this bozo. They are ther own worst enemies whenever they open their mouths and Kucinich is probably one of the best examples of the obsurdity of the progressive/socialist ideology.

The revelation that the government’s talking points in the wake of the Benghazi attacks were edited to reflect the concerns of a variety of federal agencies has sparked a firestorm of controversy in recent weeks. Some early reports on that email exchange created the erroneous impression that the White House was more deferential to the concerns of State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, who sought to remove from those talking points a variety of references suggesting the Benghazi attack was the result of a coordinated act of terror. The actual interagency email exchange, released by the Obama administration on Wednesday,

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

"Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied.

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
