Soledad headed out at CNN
New York Post, by New York Post

Posted By:Fiesta del sol, 2/20/2013 7:25:58 AM

High-profile morning anchor Soledad O’Brien is on her way out at CNN as new boss Jeff Zucker moves Erin Burnett into her morning slot, Page Six has exclusively learned. We’re told award-winning journalist O’Brien has indicated she is ready to leave after she was initially promised a plum prime-time slot, but that role has so far failed to materialize. A source tells us: “The deal to move Erin to the morning alongside Chris Cuomo is basically done. Soledad had been

Comments:
Her next show on Current/AlJazeera can be titled "Latino, Black, Biased and Unemployed in America."

Soledad O"Brian: award winning journalist? IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW WORTHLESS AWARDS OFTEN ARE. I have watched the woman, and I am actually better. I read the talking points with more discretion.

I´m sure Zucker won´t suffer any recriminations for throwing a black reporter under the bus.Her bias really shows through too much,I guess they´re trying to get "objective" people in there which is really laughable from these recycled leftists.

First Point - Who Cares!

Second Point - She won an award? For what? She is a simpleton and a racist. Any journolism award given to her has about as much meaning as the Nobel Peace Prize meant when they gave it to Zippy for doing nothing.

#4, Oh, come on, 0bama has done more than nothing. He has given automatic rifles to Mexican Drug Lords so they can keep the peace in their neighborhoods by killing everyone with whom they disagree. He kept the peace by starting a war in Libia to overthrow Kadaffi. He also kept the peace by slipping weapons into Syria. He is also trying to keep the peace in the US by removing weapons from bitter-clinger, right-winger terrorists. Boy, some people just can´t give 0bama a break - just because he is black.

Award winning? Yup, this idiot couldn´t get her facts right even if facts hit her on the face. This is the moron who interviewed a Republican congressman about economy and tried to put him down saying " how do you know that ? Do you have a degree in economics?". Mud on her face when the congressman coolly said" yes ma´m! I have an MBA degree from such and such University". An affirmative action poster child who thinks ....

She was brought back for a specific purpose. She did what was demanded of her.

Cry racism.

And she did. Every day, every single day.

It worked.

To call her a reporter is to inflate her resume. She´s a willing propagandist with a nasty attitude. It wouldn´t surprise me a bit if she went to work for the White House.

Sobad O´Brian, get lost. She used her education and skills to do great damage to our country.

If the CNNers and their media brethren won´t be honest with themselves, we must fill the void again:

O´Brien was hired strictly because of her odd clash-of-ethnicities name, her cuddly-but-exotic, we-think-she´s-probably-Hispanic-but-not-in-an-overt-Charo-way appearance and her femaledom.

In this way she predated Barack Obama as the acceptable face of a minority by several years but like her beloved president she is vapid, shallow and completely reliant on the autocue.

I barely watch CNN, but good riddance. She´s among the most racist, biased characters on television. She´s probably off to MSLSD or Current TV next.

Good for CNN. From what I´ve seen of Burnett, she is more fair minded than most at CNN and she is definitely easier on the eyes than most.

I do not, will not watch CNN, but the commercials I have seen with this woman prove all of the comments above to be accurate. I will also add that she is not in any way 100% minority. And whether she wants to believe it or not, her non-minority features got her where she is today.

If I was Jay Carney I´d be getting my resume up to date. O´Brien would be perfect as press secretary for Obama. Everything she says has a racial overtone to it.

Erin Burnett is the one who called Bush a monkey and had to apologize. Other than that 5 second apology, there was no retribution for her childish remark.

Let´s see what happens if she calls Zerobama a monkey.

Past presidents have
sent IRS after critics
Associated Press, by Tom Raum    Original Article
Posted By: Fiesta del sol- 5/17/2013 11:14:02 AM     Post Reply
The Internal Revenue Service controversy dogging President Barack Obama is hardly the first time a White House and the tax agency have been accused of political meddling and bias. Over the past week, Republicans have been trying to link Obama to what the IRS has acknowledged was improper extra scrutiny of conservative political groups seeking tax-exempt status. That’s despite the fact that little — if anything — has surfaced to suggest White House officials had advance knowledge of the IRS actions. The line between IRS misconduct and the Oval Office appears less fuzzy in IRS political incidents in previous administrations.

Ad on Rush Limbaugh

Charlotte-based Belk Inc. found itself in the middle of an online battle between political partisans this week, when an ad featuring the company ran on conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh’s radio program. The fight highlights the fine line companies walk with advertising and social media. The ad featuring Belk was apparently first noticed Monday by a group on Facebook that monitors Rush Limbaugh’s advertisers in an effort to pressure the talk show host financially. On Tuesday, the liberal website Daily Kos mentioned the ad in a posting. People started posting messages on Belk’s Facebook page protesting the ad.

W.H. Holds off-the-

Politico, by Dylan Byers    Original Article

The White House held an off-the-record briefing with reporters on Friday afternoon to discuss recent revelations about the Benghazi investigation, sources familiar with the meeting tell POLITICO. The meeting began around 12:45 p.m. and postponed the daily, on-the-record White House press briefing to 1:45 p.m. White House press secretary Jay Carney did not respond to a request for confirmation of the meeting. The off-the-record session was announced to reporters in the wake of an ABC News report showing that White House and State Dept. officials were involved in revising the now-discredited CIA talking points about the attack on Benghazi.

Obama orders top aides

President Obama has ordered his Cabinet officials to praise Obamacare when giving speeches at college commencement ceremonies, even as the president’s aides fear that poor implementation of the law will tarnish his legacy. “To counter the criticism, the White House has told all Cabinet members and senior officials to use commencement speeches to drive home for graduating college students and their parents the benefits they gain from a provision of the law that allows young adults to stay on their family’s insurance plans until they turn 26,” Bloomberg reports. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., did her part to tout

John McCain Wants to

John McCain is going to release a bill that would dismantle cable as it´s currently constructed, Brenden Sasso at The Hill reports. The legislation would force cable companies and satellite TV providers to give consumers an option to pick and choose which channels they get. This is called "à la carte programming," and it´s long been a dream of consumers who only want a handful of channels. McCain tried to introduce similar legislation in 2006 and it went nowhere.

Benghazi: Incompetence,
but no cover-up
National Journal, by Michael Hirsh    Original Article
Posted By: Fiesta del sol- 5/8/2013 6:04:54 PM     Post Reply
There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

Benghazi Again

The Republicans, apparently with nothing better to do, are still chasing their tails over the tragic events in Benghazi on September 11.Actually, no. That’s not true. They’re chasing their tails over what happened after the tragic events of September 11. They’re mostly concerned that the Obama Administration tried to cover up the fact that this was a terrorist attack by a local militia (translation: local street gang) which aspired toward bad-butt Al Qaeda status. This is a pretty hard sell since, the day after the attack, the President called it an “act of terror.”

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

Watergate 2.0 -- why the

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.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups.

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
