   Wow, CNN still getting a bounce from a tragedy. Lasted longer than I expected. I give ‘em ’til the end of the week to hit bottom again.

   Yep!! We Republicans are waking up again. A little reprieve and self-evaluation is good for the soul so that we can come back roaring.

   NBC Fawns Over ‘White House Christmas,’ But Ignores Cost of Obama Vacation to Taxpayers

   Missing from NBC’s rosy Wednesday interview of Michelle Obama is her family vacation’s cost to taxpayers. Reports are that the taxpayer bill for the Hawaii vacation will top $4 million.

   “Come Christmas the First Family, Bo included, will head some 5,000 miles away from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,” Today contributing correspondent Jenna Bush Hager said during NBC’s “A White House Christmas” segment. “After an exciting but exhausting election season, the Obamas are happy to take this time to be together and enjoy the simple pleasures of family.”

   Hager asked the First Lady about the family’s “talent show” and the Christmas meal, but made no mention of the Hawaii trip’s cost to taxpayers.

   The Hawaii Reporter estimated the cost of a 20 day round-trip vacation to be over $4 million. Travel alone would be over $3.6 million, with additional costs for security.

   “While the President and his friends pay for their own rental homes, taxpayers pick up the cost of security and waterfront housing for the Secret Service, Navy Seals and Coast Guard as well as staff accommodations at a plush beachfront Waikiki hotel,” the Reporter added.

    It’s amusing to see the right wing hail their Fox “friends” as being successful over MSNBC. It’s (Fox) for old, paranoid and uneducated people … aka adult children who will believe in anything they are told to believe, in spite of the facts (aka MSNBC). Looking at the gestation of the last months it is clear the false armour that is the FOX phenomena is cracking quicker than Spring ice. People have/are seeing what they are, and changing the channel – at a slow but steady pace. Laugh all you want, the demographics in America will end with Fox being irrelevant. Give it time, and enjoy the process.

    Jed, please post a factual segment or commentary from MSNBC. This network is nothing more then opinion from the left with misleading or missing factual information.

    JED, by the time the, as you say, “old, paranoid and uneducated people” die off, you’ll then be considered the “old, paranoid and uneducated person” by the ones younger than you and they’ll be looking forward to your demise. That is the same old generational story. Nothing new there.

    As far as the “adult children who will believe in anything they are told to believe in,” that’s the MSNBC story. Remember how the Left were told by MSNBC that the rich, the Koch brothers and Mitt Romney were going to buy and steal the election and you all bought into that?

    People — Left, Right and Center — all know that MSNBC is the arm of the White House and they don’t want to be fed that pablum. MSNBC is going to find themselves more and more dismissed as people wise up.

    I appreciate your attempt at civility, and I get where you’re coming from, but you fail to understand what these forums are all about.

    Theses forums are a cathartic method to speak our opinions, release our rage, say things we normally would never say to an actual flesh and blood human being, all under the privilege of anonymity and without the fear of being punched in the face. This is a blessing, of sorts. It allows us to get it out of our systems here, without consequence or harm to anyone, and then get on with our lives without the burden of hatred hanging on our shoulders.

    I welcome it. I think it’s healthy. Better here than to take it out on your family or friends.

    I agree to a point – part of my catharsis is calling out hypocrisy on both sides, though believe me I know my own conduct is not always above reproach. I find it amusing and sad that people scream about hatred as they are calling others idiots and stupid. It is easy to be tough behind a keyboard, but it is there where true feelings come out. We talk about a lack of civility, I think there is plenty of proof.

    Jeb….that’s awesome!! Are you saying that with a straight face? You’re a dream come true: all conjecture, no reality!! Keep up the good work. You are a shining example for liberals.

    Yes, but like I said, that’s the point. We can do that here if we chose, then we don’t have to take it out on the actual people in our lives. It’s harmless. If you don’t like what others are saying, you have the choice to go to another site that’s re closely resembles your sensibilities. We’re rarely given that kind of choice in real life. This is supposed to be fun. That’s why the same people come back day after day, and go through the same points again and again. We know we’re not changing anyone’s opinions, but it’s fun to try.

    While CNN & MSNBC split liberal viewers due to the tragedy, Fox noise seems to win but nevertheless its numbers are still pathetic.

    Looks like the righties are still in their post-elections depression, next week when Maddow wins they’ll probably up their dosage of Prozac.

    Anyway I don’t mind watching CNN if Piers is gonna say it like it’s :

    I’ve still been watching CNN because they’re covering details of the shooting.

    Last night’s Piers Morgan show was a really good one. Especially when he called Gun Advocate Larry Pratt a Gun Advocate “Unbelievably Stupid”, “Dangerous”, and an “Idiot”. It was the best show of the night.

    However, I’ll be back to watching MSNBC by the end of the week.

    Diamond Dave,

    You are right, especially about the changing opinions. I have learned a few things from this board, that is one reason I come back.
