| Geraldo Rivera stopped by Fox & Friends‘ curvy couch on Friday, where he was asked about the fact that an Iranian jet attack on U.S. drones had gone unreported until a week after the election. (Snip) “It is officially an act of war; I agree with that,” said Rivera. “Now jump cut to the question of why we didn’t know about it initially? Our Jennifer Griffin reports that it was a classified mission. That’s one of the reasons they gave for not revealing it. But I think it’s pretty clear, like the response to the storm, that

Geraldo has become a joke and a caricature. He is so in the bag and has a "man crush" on Barry. This behavior is representative of the MSM and how they refuse to investigate anything with this guy and make excuses for him. Pathetic! If Bush had decided to take an Asian "working" vacation at the time the fiscal cliff was looming - they would want him impeached.

I'm with several of the aboce posters. I am so sick of Who-uan Williams and all of the other demrats that Hannity bring on that I have completely stopped watching. Fox, in it's insane claim to be balanced is moving to advertised progressism. I think Hannity did more to get Obambi reelected than the mainstream media. He and O'Reilly apologized too many times for criminal behavior. Hannity and his "Stop Obama Express" did nothing to get the facts out.
We need someone to buy a network and have pure unapologetic conservative news. I would buy stock in it. We don't need scare tactics or exagerated hype. We just need facts.
Who in the press is talking about the UN Charter to suppress our second amendment rights? Who in the press is talking about the impact of the growing national debt? Who in the press is talking about the "gifts" to Obama's friends in the name of stimulus? Who in the press is talking about the corruption in the administration an the house and senate republicans refusal to do anything about it?
I fear for our country.

FOX NEWS increasingly about anchors in tight dresses, stiletto heels that I doubt they can walk in, and sucking up, slobbering over former or current elected officials. It's about sound bites, baiting people to say something controversial so it will go viral to spike ratings, employing the idiot RNC and DNC consultant class, etc. Blah,, blah, blah. No in depth reporting except for Kathryn Herridge, Jennifer Griffin. No coverage of racism toward whites, Conyers' wife, Jesse Jackson, Jr. criminal probe, etc. Time to quit being a dumb sheeple and turn propaganda off.

I'm grateful to all the preceding posters re: Fox, Geraldo, the hideous Juan, Beckel, and the steadily growing number of blondes in 6" heels with skirts to their crotches who averaged don't make one dimwit. You've hit all the nails on the head. I too have turned off Fox except for Bret Baier and he only lasts until the panel begins. Then, depending on who is sitting there I go to mute until Dr. Krauthammer. Otherwise, no sound, nothing. In addition to the truly stupid marxist Juan, add Kristen, Mara, the blonde who uses her initials for a first name, and all the others now presented as being worthy of being heard. I don't think Ailes has it altogether anymore. If what I've learned is even half true, they have to be hurting. And if their only remaining claim to fame is that they are hated the least...well, I'd suggest that this says it all.

The nation is divided, we have just witnessed a cataclysmic election which portrayed American tax payers as the enemy, and the latent progressives are crawling out of the Fox closet. Sorry, Fox, but I am weary of your intrusions every night.
Geraldo and Beckel will NOT be seen in this house.

I watch Bret Baier on Fox News and then Lou Dobbs on Fox Business. I was a fan of The Five at first but Bob Beckel, the reformed alcoholic, is simply insufferable. He has a nasty and mean personality and I can't stand to listen to a single word from him. If The Five got rid of Beckel I would return but I doubt they will. As for the female Fox panelists on Baier's show they are all liberals of varying intensity. The goon from the Wash Post, Charles Lane, is another sniveling leftist. Thank heaven for Krauthammer, Hayes, Kristol, Barnes, and Hume to provide some sanity.

O Reilly should be replaced with Greg Gutfeld, and Hannity with Dennis Miller. Tokyo Rove should be canned immediately, along with Jerry Rivers. Do so love Bob Beckel's new red hair dye job.
Greta is the best especially when she plays clips of the MahaRushi.

Sick to death of the "right" spinning for Zero.
November 7th did not want to listen to anyone (Rush, Sean, Mark, etc) or read anything on the internet. Invested 4 years in trying to educate myself, others, listening to the pundits and their "take" on things. In the end, they were ALL wrong!
I won't blame them for the results, but apparently their pulse on America's electorate was about as accurate as mine and it was worthless. After reading blogs for 4 years and listening to talk radio it seemed like the tides were turning. So many posters on sites stating they had voted for Zero 1st time but not now. I believed the reality of his agenda was making its way into people's lives and they would certainly see the taint I saw? Apparently not.
However, if America has now been converted to a Takers vs. Makers country it is what it is. I still can't swallow that. I am curious though as to why there aren't any allegations of cheating? We had story after story on election day of the Black Panthers back at the polls. Republican poll monitors physically removed from sites. Military ballots not reaching our soldiers, etc.
The libs certainly seem to have perfected the nasty campaign, why then is it impossible to believe that they have successfully achieved an air-tight method of cheating in overwhelming, election winning numbers?

At least give Beckel credit for occasionally being funny! Geraldo, Colmes, and Juan Williams not so much! In fact not at all, nor are they competent debaters, always talking over people and switching topics whenever they have to give a tough answer. The Talking heads who think that conflict bring ratings are dead wrong as I like many other posters turn the channel as soon as they show up and spend the rest of the hour on the cooking channel.

If Fox has to let him go due to budget cuts, then it won't bother me.
I don't mind dissenting opinions. But people who make opinions that are downright stupid, like Obama "had his plate full" are not worthy of being compensated financially. Obama has thousands of people who are employed to respond to and disseminate information about international incidents. There is only one reason why we did not hear about this, and we all know what it is. Obama would have looked like a weakling, even to his own people, right before an election. Funny how no "anonymous sources" dribbled out this information before Election Day.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

"The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba this week. The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country. However, the Miami Herald said Washington has issued special licenses for
