I watch Fox. I don't listen to it, though. Too chirpy.

Occasionally, I glance up at the ditzy snatch on display...then get back to work on my upcoming manifesto.

+1 on the manifesto comment. My wife knows my motives and how I thirst for banker's blood, she forbids me to even talk about a manifesto. Trust me, we all wish we could start a revolution with our words. Mine would be nothing like that pussy's in cali cause he couldn't get laid, it be more like the thoughts going through the Vietnamese(spelling) ladies mind when she self immolated.

Fox news has devolved into snatchy/titsy high school girls and ex-hustlers and pole-dancers with no gravitas.....accompanied by male news-drones and covert progressive homosexuals hovering ever-closer to anonymity and unemployment.

O'Reilly is a mugwump prime-time potted plant, pretending to be stupid.....or....uh...stupidly pretending to know nothing and stand for nothing......A gutless, narcissistic panderer of his own fame and glory.

 O'Reilly is a supporter of the treasonous usurpation of an alien POTUS, by omission of the facts, and deprecatory slandering of those who demand the truth be told about Ovomit and the treasonous, monied, impresarios that installed him into the office of POTUS.

The United States of America currently has no constitutional government and is being led by an illegal alien, demoniacally-inspired, sociopathic, homosexual, serial killer supported by communists and muscum masquerading as the Demoncrapic Party.

Not only that, he eventually sided with .gov against the Rancher guy in Nevada.

He is a shill. Still, some news they have is OK.

I used to listen sometimes but not much at all now.

I got suspicious when he did a two-week show in Israel.

Israel is surrounded by angry people. Well, what did they do to make them that way? Hmm? Maybe throw them off their land?

The fact is that the only path to libertarianism is through the gauntlet of the Republican Party, as vile as it is. That is why Ron Paul is a Republican. The Democrat Party is the U.S. Communist Party, plain and simple.

Correction: The mainstream media created the politicians by presenting, for example, false choices among at most two of them that have been vetted by the tribe that controls it.

  Now the way that Wolf would be breaking this new is:  'it's absurd and shameful, shameful how we in the MSM, we in the MSM how we've been screwing over our viewers, yess screwing our viewers with the garbage that we're spewing out....and now a word from our generous, generous sponsor.'      May he & his bunch of cronies rot in hell.

I'm not a racist but I did not vote for O.

To many Americans politics is more like having a favorite team than having a set of princilples that are most in line with a party. It is pretty high intellect to think about these things...easier to vote big BLUE (or big RED).

to be objective, during the 2008 campaign the MSM presented John McCain in a more favorable light. although it was obvious that MONEY (goldman sachs) was running 2:1 for Obama ahead of McCain (remember in America a second term for potus is inevitable) there are a couple of takedowns from that, the MSM (having some intelligent bias :DID NOT LIKE OBAMA) but once having seen that the money was running toward him, and he won decided to play ball (of you didnt play ball with Bush god help you) now obama became another bush, having achieved this superior position to the MSM. what this may be saying, is that at their core the MSM knows who the real liars are (come on these are pretty smart people) but are restricted from saying what they know. to return to the constitution all we need is a free press.

Only if you are DELUSIONAL would you believe that during the 2008 campaign that the MSM presented John McCain in a more favorable light. The MSM barely covered McCain, and when they did cover him, the MSM made sure to make a point of how old he was. I remember the MSM interviewed his 100 year old mother who reminisced about him as a young child 70 years ago. The MSM got really fugly after he picked Palin as his running mate.

Just who do you people think the "press" is? All of the senior news anchors from the major networks, along with the editors and publishers from the biggest newspapers {who reads them these days anyway?}, are all members of the CFR.  Even Diane Sawyer is a CFR! They are co-conspirators and accomplices of the NWO. Rockefeller even said so in his book. So don't think this "ommission" is just by happenstance. They have skin in the game.

Noboby convinced nobody. Why should that be required?

The free press is an 'american' middle class institution,of the 'american' middle class, by the 'american' middle class, for the 'american' middle class.

They do not condemn people who show they are 'american' by behaving the 'american' way.

That is how having negroes in charge might change things. 'Americans' do not oppose 'americanism', they had over 236 years to show their opposition and they did not, but for sure, they have troubles when negroes behave the 'american' way.
As usual with 'americans'.

Nevertheless, the result is here: the biggest priviledge of this 'american' president was to be allowed to watch a tv show one season in advance. To be compared with previous 'american' presidents.

'Americans' are used to hiding behind fallacies like power corrups, absolute power absolute corrupts. Still, with the current presidency, they show they know how to control the rewards of corruption.

Watching a tv show in advance, well, there are other types of reward.

I agree that the heat is about to be turned up. OFA stands for Organizing For Action.

The goal of OFA is to make a call to action and to ensure the voices of ordinary Americans who support this administration are heard in Washington. It intends to train the next generation of grassroots organizers that will keep fighting for change.

To say we are awash in scandals is an understatement. It is fortunate that the American people have the attention span of a gnat, this will help them through these troubled times. It is almost guaranteed that  all the scandals and all the revelations that emerge from the nations capital  will come to naught.

A polarized America has become unable to react  with any real outrage. It appears that in its current form our Government has simply become to big to obtain the degree of over-site necessary to keep its agencies in line. These scandals are becoming to many to count, but to small to have much meaning to many people.

Even when the law is broken the Presidents supporters often try to argue it away as political nitpicking. Below is an article written last year looking at how  we have come to ignore all the evil seeping from our nations capital.

The first tinder I use after I trap a coon or a groundhog in my Hav-a-Heart, is the MSM Saturday and Sunday edition.  It burns really hot and gets rid of the smell of trapped animals; only in its destruction.  Ironic, no?

The coverage of "Watergate 40 years after" that aired on PBS got me thinking about how President Nixon did not resign right away after five men were arrested for trying to break into the offices of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate hotel and office complex. It took a long time for the dots to be connected and the temperature to rise.

A comparison of the times, 1972 and 2012, and how society has changed leads me to ponder some of the issues that brought about his demise. I can state without a doubt that a President would no longer have to hire "burglars" to break into an opponent's headquarters, the technology of today is far more sophisticated. Today a President with his own White House propaganda machine, and a few well placed lies or misleading information placed out on Sunday talk shows could have the same effect on an election that skullduggery would of had in the past.

Watergate was not a flash flood, instead it lasted forever and a day. It would come out one drip at a time , then something big would every now and then come out that changed everything. The article below contains a timeline of Watergate events and how long it took to unfold, but only the key issues that I feel necessary to make my point.

When does a message or communication become propaganda? When we look at the definition of propaganda we find it is a form of communication that is aimed towards influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position by presenting only one side of an argument. Propaganda is usually repeated and dispersed over a wide variety of media in order to create the chosen result in audience attitudes.

Today a program at the White House creates a message by spinning, scrubbing, molding, and shaping it, they then send it out to the public. In many ways the massively expanded White House program might be considered a "tax payer funded Propaganda Machine". Equally or more distressful is the way media is treated or discredited if the fail to fall into lockstep and promote the message.

At the same time, the White House is limiting press access in ways that past administrations wouldn’t have dared, and the president is answering to the public in more controlled settings than his predecessors. This leaves me feeling uneasy and questioning where else the truth has been swept under the carpet, to make it worse, it is being done on the tax payers dime. More on the White House Propaganda Machine in the article below.

Even ZH has not published ONE article about the real Constitutional disaster that has occurred.

There is no Constitution, and NO United States--- It was overthrown by the installation of a foreign domestic enemy who is not a natural born Citizen. Barack Hussein Obama was born a BRITISH subject of a British subject father, and therefore cannot be a natural born Citizen, i.e one born of 2 US Citizen parents in the US--- free from any foreign allegiance--- an indigenous citizen--- a "creature of our own" (See Federalist 68).

This is all planned, since when there is no legal executor of the laws, then there is no law. It is not over. The Criminals, aided by a cowardly useful idiot media, mean to bring this country to its knees by using Cloward Piven strategy of system overload--- that is what "Obamacare" is all about. Every aspect of American life is being attacked---- our money, borders, family, and culture are ALL under attack  by the Globalists who want to destroy America so it can be rebuilt in the Globalist image.

What ZH does not write about is that this foreign domestic enemy Usurper and the ongoing results of his Usurpation are PLANNED events. The only road back is started by the removal of the Usurper, and the hanging of his Congressional protectors, who allowed him there and committed treason. Why do you think they wanted to change the penalty for treason?
