    Financed by big Oil and climate change deniers.
    The Sarah Scaife Foundation is financed by the Mellon industrial, oil,
    and banking fortune. At one time, its largest single holding was stock
    in the Gulf Oil Corporation. The foundation became active in funding
    conservative causes in 1973, when Richard Mellon Scaife became chairman.
    Forbes magazine has estimated Scaife's personal net worth at $800
    million, making him the 138th richest person in the U.S. He controls the
    Scaife, Carthage, and Allegheny foundations. In 1993, Scaife and
    Carthage reportedly gave more than $17.6 million to 150 conservative
    think tanks. As of December 31, 1992, Scaife assets were $212,232,888
    and Carthage assets were $11,937,862.
    just buy another opinion, fine Bruce with Murdoch he simply owns the whole thing, no wonder his poor old mother is constantly embarassed.

    [quote][/quote]  Well the President looks more presidential everyday and what does Fox do, no commentary no mention of the speech given to a joint sitting of parliament, instead a couple of minutes to mock a toast given to bettty windsor when they started playing the national anthem, how pathetic, Bruce you have no defence for this disgrace and incompetence. Totally inept and that insane Hannity "interviewing" the guy who wrote a book against Palin, he uses all the tricks you accuse Liberals of. Again biased unbalanced and in his case unhinged even BoR finds him ridiculous and replusive.

So you have no interest in knowing what an insider can reveal of this charade of a woman? Typical and people outside the US wonder why your country is so bitterly divided. Bill O'reilly makes it clear that they are in it to make money and that is far enough, just be honest and admit that is the ethos for the whole rotten movement, just because you are naive doesn't mean that you can't keep your faith but open your mind to the possibility she is no saint and deserves greater scrutiny.

    Hello Bruce. You sound very intelligent and articulate and I like your passion (I am not saying I agree - or disagree - I am just saying you sound very authoriative on the things of which you speak). So having said that, could you please look at removing LOL from your reportage? Any time I hear that I expect the next words to be "so, I totally, like, went to the mall and got this real awesome, like,  up-do". It doesn't help your hard worked for credibility. - I hope I didn't spell anything wrong

    Hannity is a conservative-and proudly biased commentator. He does not present himself as a non-biased journalist (like Amanpour, Dennis the Menace on MTP, Bob Schieffer, Katie Couric, et al) Hannity, by the way gives a lot of airtime to liberals. Regularly; Like Beckel. Once again, my friend; your argument falls flat.[/quote] Hannity fell flat because BiBi actually put him in his place explained the 67 borders with land swaps and was almost apologetic for his bad behaviour lecturing Obama. Many liberal Jews dislike BiBi instensely and believe allowing rampatant settlements to be built as bad policy endangering their own security. Hannity interviewed the guy who wrote the book (on Palin)and just yelled over him, you ask why people don't go on the network simply because the host can't restrain their hatred disdain and own bias, they foam at the mouth, talk over their guest and want to belittle and humilate them, Fair and balanced, no unhinged rabid right wing looneys, Greta on the other hand actually treats her journalism seriously. So its either blonde bimbos, Food 101 or a bitter twisted old conservative guy or a college drop out. Poor old Rupert he used to buy quality respectable newspapers now he just funds an unabashed right wing rabble.

    [quote][quote][quote][/quote]  Well the President looks more presidential everyday and what does Fox do, no commentary no mention of the speech given to a joint sitting of parliament,[/quote] Looks more Presidential? Like when he is glaring at Netanyahu while Bibi is dressing him down publicly in the Oral Orifice? Or when he is appeasing terrorists? Or when he is ignoring the slaughter in Syria....saying that Assad should lead the country to democracy? Or when he takes a back seat in Libya? That's presidential leadership? I saw a report popping up about the speech in England, I believe Bret Baier's show had it, but I didn't listen to the full report. I just now tried to find it quickly, but stumbled on this-seems pretty  F & B to me-almost a fluff piece for the prez.http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/23/obama-begins-european-tour-ireland-discovers-irish-roots/[quote] [/quote]  [quote][quote]instead a couple of minutes to mock a toast given to bettty windsor when they started playing the national anthem, how pathetic, Bruce you have no defence for this disgrace and incompetence.[/quote] [/quote]   Again, sorry just heard something in passing about him not timing his toast well or something. Actually, I think I heard that on the radio, not Fox. So, it's ok for the MSM (and by the way, Fox) to point out Bush's verbal flops but not Obama's? C'mon, grow a skin.

Seems to me that Hannity presents a respectable position in both clips. No hectoring there. MSNBC's Ed Schultz's audio in the second... is that acceptable, Tony?http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/hannity/index.html#/v/962095739001/white-house-creates-web-police-post-part-1/?playlist_id=86924http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/hannity/index.html#/v/962095738001/white-house-creates-web-police-post-part-2/?playlist_id=86924[/quote] I saw this live the first link has nothing to do with the book interview??? no look at the part 1 interview you re full of crap etc he just talks over the guy.............over over and over again When did I defend the other guy who gave a grovelling apology? Stick to the point now you are just throwing bombs? this is rather pointless. Hm listening to your favourite guys talk about taxes, they need to review Bush's actual view on voodoo economics, the equation is pretty simple, cutting revenue blew out the deficit, its not rocket science, when do people actually critique this crazy idea? Ideology triumphs over facts. Now the Fox extra cute dogs great lol!!

Actually the Kool-Aid thing is more insulting (for those with a thin skin) I suppose because it refers to the followers of Jim Jones who blindly followed his orders to commit suicide. But both sides do it; I don't think it's a big deal. Our friend from Cali never offers any intelligent thoughts anyway.[/quote] http://www.raptureready.com/rr-kool-aid.html Hm thank you my friend always layers beneath, OMG please ask the fox guys to play some decent music, lol I have to mute or change channels!!! A guy here on Sky news just used the Kool aid reference in disucssing today's politics always learning something. They are discussing an ad campaign promoting a carbon tax and being a News organisation pointed out News Corp attempts to be carbon neutral how ironic

    Tony, good post.  If you want to go a step farther, take a look at
    two documentaries, Why We Fight and Inside Job.  In Why We Fight, we
    hear from Eisenhower and his famous warning of the Military-Industrial
    complex and why he saw it as a threat to democracy.  We are shown how
    that industry, in the beginning, by-passed Congress by dealing directly
    with the Pentagon.  In Inside Job, we can put together how Wall Street
    learned from that industry, and then took it farther by simply buying
    Congress and the executive office and apparently now, through the
    executive branch, the judiciary as well.

    Once at this point, you will recognize that we are all being
    herded along, with our prejudices dictating which news show we watch to
    support our biases.  We are distracted, debating which of the bought
    candidates are the better choice for some political office.  All the
    while, the underlying problem, financial and political corruption, goes
    on unhindered.
    It leads some to argue that in the war, capitalism v. democracy, capitalism is going to win, if it hasn't already.  That this outcome will have a profound impact on individual freedom and opportunity, goes on unappreciated.
    If we look for an example, we need look no further than our own
    history, say 1875 to 1934, and what unregulated capitalism did to the
    individual worker.  It is a fascinating and scary study.

    My apologies DanandJanette, I will try to explain as best I can without using the quote on quote function, I am sure people can go back if they are interested.
    By you capitalising (we use s's not z's) the word do it gave the impression you were making a supercilious statement rather than asking a question.
    I found this a little patronising. I then drew a very long bow to suggest that, like is often joked about regarding North Americans, that they are so wrapped up in their own continent that they have been known to mistake Australia (where I come from) with Austria. Obviously suggesting someone thinking this way is a very patronising statement. In hindsight it was too obscure and not very well thought out, I apologise.
    I do know Tina Fey is responsible for the infamous "from my house" quote and I should of made you aware of this.
    Just for 100% clarity, Sarah Palin's actual quote was "They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." she made this quote whilst highlighting her foreign policy credentials - just in case you didn't think I knew. There was nothing asinine in that one.
    I hope this removes some confusion.
    Now let's get back on topic, my apologies to everyone for steering us of course
