Fox News Channel Becomes the Code Pink Channel

This evening, the Fox News Channel's two highest rated programs, The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes, had members of the pro-terrorist Marxist front group Code Pink on to discuss Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton's shifting stand on the Iraq war.

Neither show challenged the Code Pink spokeswomen on the group's well documented pro-terrorist, pro-socialist dictatorship politics. Instead they were presented as legitimate players in the debate on the war and Clinton's candidacy.

Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin was on The O'Reilly Factor opposite a Democratic consultant. Host Bill O'Reilly praised Benjamin for answering his softball questions about Code Pink's lobbying of Clinton on the Iraq war while he cut off the Democrat from the show for not answering his questions to his satisfaction. O'Reilly said it is 'a pleasure' to have Benjamin on his show.

Hannity & Colmes had Gael Murphy, another co-founder of Code Pink, on in a solo interview to cover the same ground with regard to Clinton.

Code Pink garnered attention by heckling Clinton during her speech at the Take Back America progressive conference being held this week in Washington, D.C.

Fox News is not alone in acting as a shill for Code Pink. The Washington Post recently published prominent print and video reports on Code Pink that were little more than free advertising and recruitment vehicles for the group.

While it is not surprising that The Post would promote leftists like Code Pink, Fox News' promotion of this anti-American group is one more example of the demise of Fox News' reputation as being different from the lamestream media.

Just playing the same game the MSM does with conservatives and Rinos; showing how disgusted the far left is with the mainstream left. It sows dissension in the ranks. I'm all for it; very clever.

O’Reilly and Hannity have no clue as to what they should be asking. That’s unfortunate for us, them and the nation.

Code Pink members.

The smell of B.O. and mothballs permeates the airwaves.

[kristinn]

It’s not clever at all. It’s mainstreaming treason.

I don't think they are clever enough to do that. If they were, they would have asked them questions that would have went right over the pinko's heads, so that everyone would know (except pinko's of course) that they were manipulating them.

Not a surprise. Fox News, like the Bush clan, is only interested in milking conservatives for their own narrow purposes. FNC’s blatant support of this amnesty nonsense is another example of where management stands on the issue.

I rarely watch Hannity (because of Colmes), but I find myself yelling at BO more and more. He's no different than politicians who rely on their staffers (producers) for information.

BOR didn't just cut her off .. he kicked her off the show

I have to say .. I was surprised on that one

[OKIEDOC]

Fox like many RINO Republicans are burning bridges that will not be easily rebuilt.

Congress, Senators included has a 13% rating by the latest Gallup Poll.

Hells Bells I think if this Shamnesty passes it may be a negative before long.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I don't think O'Reilly researched the background of Medea Benjamin. He could have looked at your post.

CODE PINK GIVES $600,000 TO THE 'OTHER SIDE' IN FALLUJAH (TREASON ALERT!)

[gcruse]

If we aren’t exposed to the nuts threatening us, we’re burying our heads. We need to know what’s out there.

[SMM48]

I saw the BOR interview. I was kind of shocked to see a Code Pinko on. As for the other Democrat whatever, she did not answer BOR's questions, period! She went off on her talking points which had absolutely nothing to do with his question.

H&C is unwatchable.

[kristinn]

Medea must be laughing herself silly tonight.

"There will be an answer... Let it be... Let it be... CONgress polling up-side-down... How refreshing that will be!!!

[kristinn]

Thanks. Code Pink’s treason is well documented—except by Fox News and the mainstream media.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>H&C is unwatchable.

Ditto!

[Anti-Bubba182]

O’Reilly and Hannity in particular should know better and should be pulling her entrails out. To bad Michelle Malkin was not hosting. There would not be enough left for DNA analysis.
