   Looks like O’Reilly is going to address tonight the accusation that NBC didn’t cover the drone news, even though they were the ones who broke it and covered it on MSNBC and NBC News.

   Boy there is almost double the amount of older demo watching Rachel than the key demo! Does that mean that Rachel gets her numbers from old codgers that dont mean nuttin since they are gonna be dead soon???

   I have said for awhile that Hannity and Rachel keep switching but Rachel is starting to slightly edge Hannity in the win column. She is the future of that network with Crystal, Ezra, Steve W, Melissa HP, etc. Chris and Lawrence have their spots but its the older union blue collar democratic party as opposed to the younger progressives. Sharpton and Ed really are an embarassment.

   Meanwhile, Greta is fantastic but Bill and Hannity are going a bit off the rails ideologically and I can’t watch them anymore.

   FOX will be in control for another 5-10 years but MSNBC will be what FOX has been in this era and what CNN used to be. The movements for FOX are down and for MSNBC up. I work in advertising and we are moving more of our money from FOX to NBC, its just heading that way.

   I would be really curious to see what the 18-49 ratings would be for these shows because I have a feeling FOX is pulling bigtime numbers in the 50-55

   Fox News is once again lying and giving misinformation;they are saying things like the unemployment number is at 7.9 higher than when Obama took office,lies such as folks on food stamps have increased from 30 million to over 45 million in four short years!That the debt has been over one trillion each year…lies lies lies,and to top it off not once through the whole news day did any of the hosts mention the fact that Obama put a bullet in Bin Ladens head!Its obvious the only network to watch is MSNBC–their square and “right down The middle”.

    Alexander Fraser Tytler – (1747 – 1813) – Professor of Universal History, and Greek and Roman Antiquities – University of Edinburgh

    “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200-300 years. Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage”.

    obama addressed the National Prayer Breakfast…..

    - – -

    OUCH ! OUCH! OUCH!

    - – Watch C-Span video as Doctor, Benjamin S. Carson, Attack Political Correctness, National Debt in Front of Obama at Annual Prayer Breakfast.

    - -
    Taking the stage before President Barack Obama’s faith-filled address, Carson spoke for more than 25 minutes, tackling issues ranging from education to personal responsibility.

    To illustrate just how massive the debt is, Carson told the audience that if they counted one number per second, it would take them 507,000 years to get to the sum total. The doctor said that the massive fiscal blunder is something that the nation must contend with. From there, he moved on to taxation, seemingly taking a stance in direct opposition to Obama’s.

    “What about our taxation system — so complex there is no one that can possibly comply with every jot and tittle,” he noted, going on to call for a simpler (i.e. flat tax) system.

    The doctor also addressed medical care, advocating for health savings accounts and railing against the notion that Americans should be sending money into a large bureaucratic system.

    Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan. His mother dropped out of school in 3rd grade & his parents divorced when he was 8. He was called dummy in school & his mother took it upon herself to limit both her children’s TV & she required them to read two library books a week and to give her written reports on their reading even though, with her own poor education, she could barely read what they had written. Carson developed a hunger for knowledge . He earned a bachelor’s from Yale & a medical degree from the University of Michigan. At age 32, he became Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore’s Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery.

    US Catholic Bishops to Continue Support for HHS Lawsuit’s Against Obama Administration

    Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, issued a statement on Thursday signaling to the Obama Administration that the bishops will not make a separate deal to exempt Catholic institutions from an Obamacare mandate that requires health-care plans to cover sterilizations, contraceptives and ab0rtion-inducing drugs that leaves lay Catholic business owners and individual employees still subject to the mandate.

    The cardinal said the bishops will also continue to support the many lawsuits against the regulation–including those brought by private busineses–that are moving forward in federal courts around the country.

    Yeah, it’s all over the internet. That knucklehead Bill O’Reilly screwed the pooch again. He needs to fire his staffers because he’s beginning to look like a hack.

    Can any of you liberal provide facts that support your opinions?

    If Maddow is so great let’s run her show at the same time as O’Reilly.

    Fox news has Obama’s goat right now. The man can’t stop talking about them. He talked about Cable news channels negatively at the National Prayer Breakfast. Fox news should be changing public opinion.

    Seems they need some PR distraction due to the massive trouble they are in for the hundreds of sexual molestation matters they covered up. The fault goes all the way to the secular top! So money that would possible go to good causes are being used for legal expenses and settlements.

    The Church’s political views are almost as morally bankrupt as the Conservative movement in the USA.
