To prove that I’m not a TOTAL shill for Fox News, lol, O’Reilly and Hannity ought to bury whatever hatchet. It would help Sean if Bill plugged what’s coming up on “Hannity” as Sean does for Greta. O’Reilly need not have Sean on camera, but he could do a “Stay tuned for Hannity. Tonight, PBS debate moderator Jim Lehrer joins Sean.”
It would help out that crucial 9pm hour.

@Ratboy: >>> Do you think Phill is filling in for Jeffie while he is gone? <<<
Who cares? My advice is to ignore the Obamabot aka Fertilizer Man, because all he does is spread b.s.
Does it make the flowers grow and the grass green???
@Papa: >>> Just a thought, maybe the Obama personal attacks are having less effect after people got to hear Gov. Romney speak for himself <<<
Once again, Papa, you hit the head on the nail. 65-million people watched the debate on all of the networks. As an ex-broadcast journalist, I despise spin-doctors telling me something different right after I watched the program.
Lying about the whole situation yet again DB. We have already been through this like 10 times. Just be a big man and end it already.
@Ratboy: >>> Does it make the flowers grow and the grass green??? <<<
No. But if it looks like B.S., smells like B.S., it must be B.S. lol
Ya Think??????
Romney hits Obama on Big Bird focus
Mitt Romney, speaking to a crowd of about 1,200 on a farm here in Van Meter, Iowa, criticized President Obama’s recent focus on Big Bird on the campaign trail.
“You have to scratch your head when the president spends the last week talking about saving Big Bird,” he said. “I actually think we need to have a president who talks about saving the American people and saving good jobs.”
@Everyone: I haven’t read the prior pages, but has anyone heard from TheBoss1???
no not for a while
MESSDNC, they can take a promising journalist and turn him/her into a slimey person in front of a camera!
NBC’s Todd Dismisses Big Bird Ad as Bait for Media Attention…MSNBC Runs it 10 Times
Appearing on Tuesday’s MSNBC Morning Joe, NBC political director and chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd discounted a new satirical ad from the Obama campaign mocking Mitt Romney for mentioning Big Bird in the debate: “…this is clearly a, as I was told, ‘national cable,’ which seems like code for, ‘We put it out there hoping a lot of people will play it over and over because we think it’s a good snarky conversation.’”
However, only moments earlier, the full ad played on the MSNBC morning show, as well as during the 6 a.m. ET hour. In fact, the ad ran in full on every MSNBC show between the 5 a.m. and 2 p.m. ET hours on Tuesday, for a total of ten times. That included on Todd’s own 9 a.m. ET show, The Daily Rundown.
My Senator Dem Air Claire
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – Businesses affiliated with the husband of Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill have received almost $40 million in federal subsidies for low-income housing developments during her first five years in office, though it appears only fraction of that has
@Ratboy: >>> NBC’s Todd Dismisses Big Bird Ad as Bait for Media Attention…MSNBC Runs it 10 Times <<<
The FCC or whomever should investigate if the Obama campaign PAID for the ads and they're not just freebies.
Memo To Fox News: Hire Lara Logan!
@Ratboy: >>>…Todd’s own 9 a.m. ET show, The Daily Rundown <<<
MSNBC gets "rundown" "daily" when the Cable News ratings are released. lol
Broadcast’s lowest show in the top 25 had 8949.
Cable’s top show (non sporting – non POTUS debate) in the top 25 had 5020.
Using Steve Perry logic cable TV is dying.
FNC had 5 shows in cables top 25. I knew the MLB playoffs were gonna screw me.
CNN had 2 shows & MSNBC had 1.
No congrats to AppleStinx. He didn’t tell me the MLB playoffs would be on.

No White House Press Briefing in Last 15 Days
The White House has not held a press briefing in the last 15 days, according to records on the White House’s website. The last one was held on September 24, 2012, by White House press secretary Jay Carney.
However, in that 15 day time period, and including today, there have been 11 press gaggles. Nine have been conducted by Carney, while 2 have been held by principal deputy press secretary Josh Earnest. Campaign surrogates David Axelrod and traveling press secretary Jen Psaki have participated in the gaggles.
But there’s a big difference between a gaggle and a press briefing. Gaggles are limited only to those members of the press who are traveling with the president of the United States and are not video taped. Press briefings, on the other hand, are open to credentialed media (who obtain White House approval) and are on camera.
Gaggles tend to by shorter in length than a normal press briefing, usually being held for approximately 10-15 minutes at a time. And are these days very often held aboard Air Force One to accommodate the frequent campaign stops by across the country by President Obama
Suikostinger – Yeah I’m sooo afraid to post a link to the fact site. Oh wait, I’ve done that many a times when a fact site rates something mostly false, even half true. Stop grasping for straws.
—————————-
No link this time i see.
because we have to take what Romney said by the way he MEANT it and HIS interpretation! HOLY SMOKES! This is a new one! Romney knows and so do you that there are no “death panels”. He LIED! BED TIME!
Should we take your interpretation of what he said over his? I would say NO! He never said there is death panels. Who’s lying now?
Don’t worry, Hillbilly is too scared to touch the unemployed one. Probably any of the others also.
Who’s interpretation we using Willard’s or yours? I “touched” the medicare & TwlightZone did the 5 trillion tax cut. That leaves unemployment. This depends on what govt stats one uses. Your own fact check source told you how he arrived at the 23 million number. He said it more than once.
Is that why you didn’t post your link?
@ Ralph Hahn
I agree once Romney was able to speak without having to slog through edited BS that is constantly thrown out about him did have a positive affect. I really thought that the debate was going to be a waste of my time but when he began articulating his position and didn’t have to waste our time on all the side show stuff he came across prepared, confident and in charge. Obama looked small, defenseless and weak. I want a President who will go toe to toe with anyone at anytime. Obama is like a telephone tough guy, big and tough behind your back but face to face he shirks away. If he truly believed in his position and policies and Romney was lying he should have manned up and fought for it. That leads me to believe he really has no clue on his policies since he handed those chores off to Reid/Pelosi which is pretty shameful.
@Sicilian Papa
I can’t believe your leaving me at the mercy of AppleStinx. Wait until you need help with the Gotti family. I’ll turn my back on you.
