Thank goodness there are still a few men in the media brave enough to speak the truth.

Time for all of Fox News to ask CNN et al; what is it like being a 'sockpuppet'. Or better; ask them why they ARE sockpuppets for the Left. We know the answer; but they hate being challenged. Hate even more having 'funny names' attached to them. Want Fox News to put our bumper stickers that challenge these people and their 'followers'. "Don't be a sock puppet' - watch Fox News!" or somesuch.

Think it is past time for the Right to respond in kind to the 'Left'. Name the target and disarm - with denigrating names (they pull out 'birthers; truthers' etc); isolate-target-attack.

'Sock puppets', 'minions'; State Media; Obamamedia. . .so named and called - and all challenged, over and over. . .

The 'pat on the head' was nice from Brit; but they need to 'named'.

CNN: "We LIKE IT!"

NBC: "It makes us feel sexy."

CBS: "Ohhh God, OOOOoooooohhh baby, yeahhhhh...."

ABC: "We aren't doing NEARLY enough to cover up for Obama!"

NYT: ":) :) :)"

Even Bob Beckel on Hannity agreed, and said he talks to more persuadable voters in one week on Fox than he does on the other cable stations in a year.

Hard to believe Beckel could persuade anyone. Every time I see that guy all I can think about is the episode a while back where he paid a prostitute with a check that bounced......

She’s writing a book and she knows the idiots she writes for don’t have money to buy it so she is throwing us a bone so we may consider buying her book.

The attacks on Fox News and talk radio are part of an orchestrated campaign by the Obama administration to control the media. By branding Fox as too opinionated and not “news” is going to be used as a reason why some type of fairness doctrine should be put in place. The same for talk radio.

About as much as state legislators when pay day comes from Versailles.

Tucker’s terrific now, on Fox. I confess I didn’t watch him much on CNN, because... we... who can watch CNN? And now John Stossel’s on Fox.

Bob Beckel had an excellent point, which highlights the O-House’s arrogance, talking about the Fox News audience: “We need *these votes - we already have the others.”

Not to mention that First Amendment thing...

And while I’m at it, bravo to Jake Tapper.

“...out there where the buses don’t run.”

I *loved* that! (wrote it down, too.)

Hell, I remember Beckel from 2000, trying to flip any “faithless electors.” I still can’t forgive that. But we know enough to listen to the left when they’re telling 0 how he’s screwing up.

Control of the message and the media is the primary weapon in a tyrant’s arsenal.

After the MSM’s about face regarding support of FOX over the “pool” reporter stuff, I couldn’t help but wonder if the media got a sudden reality check regarding Hume’s statement, “... being patted on the head ...”.

“ACORN”

I think the government restored their funding today.

I’m sure Brit’s remarks made a mark. He has a long-standing and excellent reputation.

Good!
