Think that was what the lame video exclusive was all about, ratings, of course it was. They have no shame.
Awwwww Jo…..are you mad?? The “lame” video as you say…..told the absolute TRUTH about Obama.
WOW!!! just WOW!!! FOX SMOKED THEM ALL!!!!
what was on hannity big numbers
FNC 3 shows & MSNBC 1.
Hannity 0.5 in the demo.
Daily show over 2 million again – 2050.
It’s all over for Obama after tonight
Yea Jo it was just about ratings! Nothing to do with the MSM hiding what was really said or Obama changing how he talks to pander to the black audiance or telling lies about how Louisiana was treated after Katrina or sucking up to the same guy he denounced a few months earlier. Juuuuuuust ratings!
Early Start/Starting Point still in the 200′s—not good!!
Should I waste time to check whether Jo wrote similar stuff about MSNBC and the Romney tape?
A win all around for Fox News.
@ Ratboy
I saw the Sharpton response. And for any liberal/democrat who does not think that there is a percentage of Americans happy to be on the dole then they are lying to themselves. Again, during my travels from poverty to where I am today I have seen scores of able bodied people capable of working but liked sleeping in until noon and video-gaming all night. Not 47% but there are those taking away valuable resources for others that really need help. Generational welfare is a problem in this country. Social Security Disability is another area where there are those who can work but know how to game the system.
Home for lunch, now back to work. Hope I don’t waste 90 minutes of my time on this debate tonight!
I wouldn’t argue against Hannity using the video for ratings. Hannity saw the video as yet another bit of proof that Obama is a manipulator and that the video will be ignored by the Alphabet soup media which worships Obama. By airing it as he should have, he knew it would be a rating boost. Double whammy for Hannity. Good for him.

but….but…..but…..thaaaaats different!
@ TwilightZone
yep! gotta beleive that the Romney 47 tape helped the MESSDNC ratings climb like thay have
“Alphabet soup media”? Hmmm…the letters ‘f’, ‘o’ and ‘x’ are letters in the alphabet used in English-speaking countries as well as much of Yurp (Greece and Russia do things a little bit differently). Maybe Fox should just substitute a picture of a fox the way men’s rooms and ladies’ rooms have pictures of humanoids wearing appropriate dress for those who can’t read…their prime audience?
It does not bother anyone else that the tape in question came from a 2007 speech by Obama at Hampton University, a historically black college in Virginia. The five-year-old speech had already been reported on extensively before last night by, among many others, Brit Hume of Fox News and by Tucker Carlson himself, on his ill-fated MSNBC show. As Dylan Byers reports at Politico, “The speech was also covered by CNN, NBC News, ABC News, The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, and the Chicago Sun-Times, among others. Big deal?
Fox News: Look we found a tape of Obama…… talking jive. Exclusive. Fox News has no shame lol. They are desperate..
I just heard a conservative pundit state on CNN that Obama has increased our National Debt more than all the other Presidents combined and not a single person corrected her. That just goes to show you the lack of knowledge CNN anchors have.
“the letters ‘f’, ‘o’ and ‘x’ are letters in the alphabet…”
Hmmmmm…..like most English-speaking countries as well as Yurp (Europe?), FOX can be annunciated into a word. But agreed it is spelled with letters from the English alphabet, much like ‘worshipers of Obama’ are spelled with letters from the English alphabet. Seems to me to be an effort to distract from the the reality that Obama is an actor, and the video brought forth again by the Daily Caller (as all reporting on it in 2007 was from the pre-speech notes provided by the Obama team) and promoted by Hannity is one more bit of evidence in a cornucopia of evidence that CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, et al will ignore, or spend minimal time on it… nothing like the 8 days for Romney’s 47% remarks from an edited video.
It’s funny that Fox has to air something that was already aired 5 years ago
@Ratboy
“yep! gotta beleive that the Romney 47 tape helped the MESSDNC ratings climb like thay have”
It wasn’t aired 5 years ago…CNN states “they had the tape”–they failed to air it…..and the MAIN STREAM MEDIA FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB!! The lame stream media..never ever vetted Obama…like they do Romney.
