Kirsten is one Democrat that I like. Watched her on O’Reilly many times. She doesn’t tow the ideological line. And many times her analysis turned out to be right.

Yep, Kirstin is a cutie, but I have to remember she was a part of the misinformation machine, and that’s why she’s where she’s at today.

She doesn’t tow the Leftie line completely, but it’s in her blood.

Pat Caddell called it. Do you believe it yet?

Pat Caddell slams the media: They have become an “enemy of the people” Sept. 29, 2012(video 26:00)

Emotional Pat Caddell on the MSM ignoring Benghazi: “These people have no honor!” Oct. 27, 2012 (video at link 4:06)

The MSM are enemies of the people!

She's also one who blew the whistle on Butcher Gosnell --- good and loud, minced no words.

My prediction? She'll be frozen out of the lib media in a year, if not sooner. She's crossed a line, and by now I think she knows that.

I love her. If I could communicate with her personally, I would say:

FEAR THEM NOT.

Everything is politicized by liberals. Life, death, and everything in between.

She doesn’t tow the ideological line.

The proper phrase is "toe the line".

I believe in Redemption. I wonder whether her recent conversion to Christianity from agnosticism may have something to do with her recent honest reporting.

There are many times when she spouts the line chapter and verse. There are other times when she deviates and expresses what seems like common sense

Fox News probably the most lucrative place to be a less biased liberal commentator who also serves as eye candy. She’s made a good career decision.

Hanging around FOX NEWS has exposed Kirsten to “the other side of the story” to the extent she can no longer totally deny the lunacy of the left.

She has gradually moved from being an ultra lefty to just being hard left most of the time.

I haven't watched her regularly in about six months. Even then it was per chance I'd see her on a forum.

Perhaps she has had to re-evaluate some beliefs. If so, kudos to her.

I don’t know how much of her on-air commentary reflects her true beliefs vs. how much is saying what she thinks will pull in the paycheck. Nothing wrong with that, they’re all performers who are paid to “analyze” but like Pat Caddell, she often speaks what we see as the truth, even when if contradicts Democrat-liberal dogma. True belief or just smart enough to realize you might do better in your career by not pissing off about 80% of the audience?

In contrast, Colmes, Beckel, and usually Williams just spew the party line no matter what. Once in a while Juan Williams turns up his nose at the crap sandwich he’s handed, but not often enough to make anyone think he has a clue.

Hillary is tweeting:

“So, you’re developing a conscience, are you, Kirsten? Then you’re of no further use to us. And you know what that means, don’t you, Kirsten?”

“you’re just now figuring this out about the media?”

They’ll acknowledge it now only because they have become a laughing stock. They’ll look back over their transcripts to see where exactly they lost the average viewer/comsumer, then find a more subtle way to misinform.

Evil people...

Kirsten has taken the beat down pretty good sometimes...maybe she is starting to see the light?
