   Wow, what the heck has happened to HLN lately…their ratings have just taken a nosedive over the past few months.

   It appears things are sliding back it what the ratings were like in the post election. Either that or folks have gotten tired of watching the hogwresting on MSNBC.

   “Fox interview ends after author accused the network of hyping the killing of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, and ‘operating as a wing of the Republican Party.’”

   Ricks said he thought the story of the Benghazi attacks was “hyped, by this network especially.”

   Scott asked why Ricks would call it hype when four Americans were killed, including the first U.S. ambassador in more than 30 years.

   Ricks responded that few people knew how many U.S. security contractors were killed in Iraq and compared that to the attention paid to “what was essentially a small firefight” in Libya.

   Ricks has a point

   Look at all the attacks on Diplomatic facilities since 1958

   In terms of death toll Clinton is the worst followed by Reagan. In terms of actual attacks nobody even comes close to Bush 43(so much for keeping us safe). Bush 41 is the gold standard of embassy attacks with 1 attack nobody killed

   Wow, no one watched Fox and Friends? That’s incredible. Must be because they all switched to MSNBC.

   By the way election update(ie don’t believe those talking points trying to use numbers from 3 weeks ago)

   Obama is at 64.80M(51%) Romney is at 60.44M(47% which is a very ironic number for obvious reasons)

   As for total votes 131.3M showed up in 2008, we are currently at 127.4M, still roughly 2.5-4M votes left to count

    This is getting to be a big concern overseas

    *VOMITING VIRUS SWEEPS BRITAIN…

    Vomiting virus sweeps Britain: Hospital wards shut as cases soar 50 per cent to five-year high

    Health Protection Agency report reveals huge increase in confirmed outbreaks in hospitals

    Includes 45 hospitals which have been forced to close off wards while they carry out deep cleans

    Hospital data represents just the tip of the iceberg as many avoid seeking medical help as virus is spread so easily

    CNN will never fire Soledud, she belongs to three groups that gets a free ride in anything…especially a liberal news center she’s Black, Hispanic and a women…a triple whammy..she can get only 12 viewers a day and she’ll still keep her job…if she were a white boy, like John King, she would be GONE….

    Mark,

    Let’s keep blaming Bush 43 for 9/11. It doesn’t matter that he had only been in office eight months. It doesn’t matter that the Clinton administration was told that an attack was being planned and they decided not to look into it. It doesn’t matter that the planning for the attacks started when Clinton won reelection. It doesn’t matter that the Clinton administration turned a blind eye to terrorist and that is what caused the growth of groups. If Clinton would have dealt with the terrorist problem during his time in office 9/11 would have never happened.

    Let us look at a simple fact. If Clinton would have dealt with terrorist during his time in office. Terrorist group wouldn’t have been big enough and there would be no 9/11. There wouldn’t have been a second gulf war or an Afghan war. But Clinton turned a blind eye and let the terrorist group build up their numbers, money, supplies and strength. Many military leaders in both the U.S. and in foreign countries, see the Clinton administration at fault for the growth (lack of control) of terrorism.

    So, when Bush get into office the terrorist had their hidden caves and bunkers. And had time to freely plan a number of attacks. If we went to talk about one president having to clean up another president’s mess. Let’s talk about Bush cleaning up after Clinton. The only reason we haven’t seen a lot of terrorist attacks under Obama is because Bush 43 had the terrorist on the run. Yes, we got bin Laden under Obama, but that was only because the Seals had been after him for years.

    Keep saying that Libya isn’t a story. That Obama isn’t hiding something. Let’s run away from the truth. And we’ll have terrorist bombing more building in the U.S.

    No surprises, Fox is kicking butt! But O’ Reilly 700 over the Five? It must be the time slot? Not that the factor is anyone’s red haired step child, number one for 15 years and all, but I suggest a trade, just for a week? Mr. O’s best week, against, The Five for a week at the 8 o’cock hour? I’m layin 5/2 on the Five!
